The People Behind ClawComp
Meet the Founders
ClawComp was built by three university students with a shared conviction: autonomous AI is the most consequential technological shift of their generation, and the builders who get hands-on experience with it now will have an outsized advantage. Jack, Yash, and Luke bring together technical depth, product intuition, social media expertise, and entrepreneurial drive—and ClawComp aims to unite more builders like this under the urgency of the moment.
Watch Their PodcastJack is a Computer Science student at Northeastern University with expertise in AI systems, particularly in the application and orchestration of LLMs. In his free time, Jack is a vibe-coding wizard—always pushing the bounds of what he can build from simply researching, and prompting LLMs to do the line-by-line grunge work.
Jack is experienced in LLM benchmarking from his work at Blitzy, and is a published researcher on the paper coinciding the company’s first-place score on SWE-bench Verified. He became an open-source collaborator to SWE-bench Verified during this initiative. More recently, his engineering research team achieved first place on SWE-bench Pro, surpassing GPT 5.4 by 8.8 points.
Jack is a co-founder of ClawComp LLC and the primary architect of the program’s operational infrastructure. He forged the original partnership with Link Ventures, works with sponsor companies to bring new enhancements to the team’s OpenClaw setup, and promotes the program throughout all of Boston. Jack has spent 100+ hours working hands-on with OpenClaw and has still hardly scratched the surface of what he knows is possible. He is currently working to build Jarvis from Iron Man with Voicerun’s agent technology. Jack is also a co-host of Promptcast, a podcast dedicated to making frontier AI research and developments accessible to the 10–25 age demographic. At Northeastern, Jack likes to surround himself with builders and entrepreneurs within REV.
Yash is pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Architecture at the University of Virginia—a combination that reflects his interest in how complex systems are designed, structured, and built to last. As a co-founder of ClawComp, Yash brings both engineering rigor and a systems-level perspective to the program’s design, from application architecture to how teams are structured and evaluated.
His interdisciplinary background makes him particularly attuned to the intersection of technical execution and design thinking—two skills that are increasingly critical as AI agents move from research demos to real-world deployment. Yash leads recruitment through UVA’s Theta Chi fraternity and the Indian Student Association, and is a co-host of Promptcast, where he contributes a sharp, analytically grounded perspective on AI developments and their broader implications.
Luke is a Business student at the University of Rochester with a strong interest in entrepreneurship, emerging technology, and the organizational dynamics of high-growth companies. As a co-founder of ClawComp, he leads the program’s go-to-market thinking—from structuring sponsor relationships and prize incentives to shaping how the competition is positioned to attract top-tier university talent.
Luke’s business background provides an important counterbalance within the founding team: while the technical scope of ClawComp is ambitious, Luke ensures the program is structured in a way that is sustainable, scalable, and compelling to the investors, sponsors, and institutional partners who make it possible. He drives recruitment through the University of Rochester’s computer science community and Sigma Epsilon fraternity. Luke is also a co-host of Promptcast, where he focuses on translating complex AI developments into clear, accessible narratives for a younger audience.
