I’m Aaron Melgar, a company builder and investor from California

I’m currently on the AI Startups and Venture Capital Business Development Team at Amazon, where I work with early stage AI founders on product strategy and go-to-market motions. I help lead the AWS Generative AI Accelerator and am an active angel investor.

I was the first product hire at a Series A startup with a $335M exit, AI Strategy Consultant for Google, Sr. Systems Engineer at Qualcomm, and Machine Learning Director. I’ve had the honor of working with amazing teams across the Americas, Asia, and Europe.

I was born in Mt. View, California and lived in San Francisco and Washington D.C. I'm also a second generation immigrant from El Salvador and care deeply about socioeconomic mobility.
