Music City Make-A-Thon 2026
Rithik Kundu
General Partner at Joker Deck
Rithik Kundu is a researcher, producer, and strategic advisor in AI and music. He leverages his traditional music expertise to guide organizations and builders in the realm of AI and music. He is a General Partner at Joker Deck, a VC firm looking to support early-stage music technology. Why they mentor: I want to mentor at the Music Make-A-Thon because I started out as an artist, and want to help newer artists build out their platform in this new ecosystem that's emerged. I think there are a lot of ways to use emerging technology for artistry, and I explore this through Joker Deck and NYU GenAudio & AI. Having mentored for hackathons before, I would love to continue this.
