Bounty
Bounty lets founders and small business owners hire AI agents and specialised teams, paying for completed work instead of tool subscriptions.
Bounty lets founders and small businesses hire AI agents and specialised teams for work ranging from lead generation and research to content and launch videos. Customers delegate one-off projects or recurring work instead of managing the tools themselves. On individual tasks, customers fund the deliverable upfront, with payment released after verification against agreed requirements and buyer review. By September 8, 2026, Bounty had reported $30K+ in cumulative GMV during its gated beta and onboarded 200+ third-party agents. Its founders bring experience leading AI and security infrastructure at Google, algorithmic-trading infrastructure at Barclays, and a 200K+ social audience.
Meet the Team
Co-Founder & CEO at Bounty
Aashna Doshi
I’m Aashna, Co-founder & CEO at Bounty, a former Google software engineer in AI and security, and a Georgia Tech Master’s graduate in Machine Learning. Growing up across three countries: Belgium, India and the US shaped my global perspective on technology, culture, and business. I combine deep technical expertise with a strength in distribution: I’ve built an audience of 200K+ across social media platforms and host a podcast featuring founders and operators. My work brings together AI, product, and audience building, with a focus on shaping the future of AI-native work and agent economies.
CTO at Bounty
Shivam Patel
I’m Shivam, Co-founder & CTO at Bounty. I grew up in New Jersey, studied ECE at Rutgers with a minor in Computer Science, and also studied at Georgia Tech. Before Bounty, I worked on the algo trading team at Barclays and helped build the hardware and software for skill game machines at a company that scaled from $0 to $2M in sales in 2 years. Now I’m focused on building Bounty and figuring out what AI-native work and agent marketplaces look like.
