At just 23, former Amazon and Microsoft employees Rohan Vasishth and Faraz Siddiqi founded Bluejay, a San Francisco–based AI quality assurance startup. Fresh from Y Combinators Spring 2025 batch, the company secured $4 million in seed funding to expand its team. Bluejay stress-tests AI voice and text agents using synthetic customers to uncover weaknesses and offers observability tools for performance monitoring. Backed by top investors, the startup aims to become a key “trust layer” for enterprise AI adoption.
