Intro

Avinash (left below) and Ajith (right below) are batchmates from college. Avinash joined Ajith's previous YC startup, where they spent three years working side by side to build the product from scratch.

They became dads and started hiring personal chefs and started as a marketplace to onboard and match chefs with busy families. During the process, we realized private chefs struggle with operations and admin work. We started building AI tools for them and made some of them wildly successful.


About

Cactus answers the phone, qualifies leads, and handles bookings so the business owner has a full schedule of work. It is the AI Business Assistant that manages the admin so the owner can focus on what they love!

Cactus has empowered 100+ chefs and is growing rapidly! Next, we’ll expand to photographers and personal trainers.
