Career

Midha co-founded and led Ubiquity6, which worked on computer vision and multiplayer technology. Discord acquired the company, and he became vice president of platform ecosystem. Andreessen Horowitz’s biography credits him with establishing Discord’s dedicated developer-platform organization and launching its Midjourney partnership. Earlier, he was a partner at Kleiner Perkins, where he helped form a dedicated seed fund. He joined a16z in 2023 and its current biography identifies him as a venture partner.[1]

Contributions

In his conversation with OpenRouter co-founder Alex Atallah, Midha discusses what happens after a model has been trained. Developers need a way to discover it, compare available providers and integrate it into applications. The interview considers model diversity, marketplaces for inference and the security problems around valuable token flows. His contribution is investment and infrastructure building around those markets, alongside the operators developing the model-serving products.[2]

Ideas

AMP’s thesis starts with a mismatch between research teams and the computers they need. A lab may run a large training job, then have quieter periods or a different mix of inference work. Provisioning for each peak can leave expensive capacity unused. AMP proposes pooling demand across teams whose busy periods differ, while sharing scheduling and infrastructure work. Its current site identifies National Compute as the operating grid. The aim is to give focused labs access to scale while letting them remain independent.[3]
