Nicolai Ouporov, CEO of Fleet AI, confirmed Parekh had worked with them as well, adding that he had 'been doing this for years.' Matthew Parkhurst, CEO of Antimetal, also weighed in. He described Parekh as 'really smart and likeable,' but said they let him go after discovering his multi-company commitments. 'Hiring Soham is a new rite of passage tbh.
