Vihaan Agarwal

I am trying to be more punctual about writing my 📖 thoughts.

I am building Clique. I study BTE^[1], Computer Science, and Philosophy at NYU Stern, where I am heavily involved with EEG.^[2] I grew up in New Delhi. I learned to program by spending time where I was not supposed to be, usually in a computer lab.

I have enjoyed moving to New York.

Based in: ██ █████ St. Apt ██, New York, NY 10013

Clique takes up most of my attention. It feels closer to a commitment than an experiment. Last month we made ████ in revenue. My days move irregularly between school, learning^[3], people, and the company.

I think a lot about networks and attention. Influence used to be vertical. A small number of institutions decided what mattered, and everyone else received it. That's changing. Now ideas spread sideways through repetition and trust, peer to peer. Clique is built around that.

I am drawn to discovery. Art before agreement forms around it. Food before it becomes referential. Places that still feel owned rather than announced. I am interested in fashion and cooking, mostly as extensions of taste.

I write by hand. I walk without music. I try to think before asking machines to do it for me.

I work irregularly. I like meeting new people and making new friends.

I am active on LinkedIn and Instagram. Feel free to send me an email.
