Captus is led by Anatoly Khen, Founder and CEO, with a proven background in product and go-to-market strategy across leading AI and technology organizations. He brings deep experience from past roles at innovative companies including Revelen.ai, Axon, Paylocity, and VIEVU.
With an Executive MBA from MIT, Anatoly blends rigorous academic frameworks with practical operational expertise to solve complex systemic issues within the construction industry. He recognizes that owner returns are fundamentally eroded by preventable risk and has focused Captus exclusively on solving this upstream visibility problem.
The engineers building the intelligence behind Captus — turning fragmented project data into early, actionable risk signals.
Alley (Tong) Wu
Alley is a Founding AI Engineer at Captus.ai, where she designs the agentic systems that turn fragmented data into clear and actionable outcomes. She works across the full stack of the platform, from retrieval and reasoning to front-end UI on which our customers rely every day. She is drawn to problems where messy, real-world data meets complex engineering and focuses on making the agent both accurate and useful in the field. Detail-oriented and fast to adapt, she's at her best taking a product from zero to one. Outside of Captus, Alley is an avid photographer with an eye for capturing nature at its most authentic, and she brings that same curiosity to everything new, whether it's a dish, a drink, or her next adventure.

Khanak Agrawal
Khanak Agrawal is a Founding AI Engineer at Captus.ai. She graduated from the University of Washington with an undergraduate degree in Computer Science, along with a minor in Business and Interdisciplinary Honors. Khanak joined Captus as an intern the year before she graduated, became a part-time engineer soon after, and stepped into a founding role by the time she finished school — a path that's let her wear just about every hat along the way. She's built complex infrastructure and worked across the stack, from backend and technical architecture to frontend UI/UX and has worked directly with customers to help shape where the product goes next. Off the clock, she's usually deep in a fragrance rabbit hole; she once built an AI perfume recommender just to feed the habit.
