Krish Kapadia is Co-Founder and CTO of Vorelios, a Y Combinator F26 startup building AI foundation models for physics and engineering simulation.

Krish studied Computer Science at the University of Florida and was a research assistant at the Trustworthy Engineered Autonomy (TEA) Lab, which develops methods for safer autonomous systems.

At UF he co-authored a tutorial on conservative discrete abstractions of cyber-physical systems for Embedded Systems Week 2026, and he was on the AutoGators team that won the $10K Most Innovative Solution award at the AWS and Vanderbilt Mission Autonomy Hackathon.

Krish co-founded Vorelios with Daniel McNeil in 2026 and was accepted into Y Combinator's Fall 2026 batch, relocating to San Francisco. The company's mission is solving engineering first, then using it to solve everything else.

Vorelios aims to make simulations that traditionally take hours or days run in seconds at a fraction of the cost. It is backed by Y Combinator and positions itself on the path toward engineering superintelligence.
