THE PROFESSIONAL JOURNEYHow the story unfolds.
01Returning to industrial problems
BECO Capital describes Arjun Mohan as a repeat founder who returned to the region after building an AI startup in Silicon Valley. Tenderd initially addressed access to underused machinery before moving towards AI-supported fleet management. His founder story therefore connects prior software experience with a physical industry, where equipment utilisation and operating information provide the starting point for the product.[1]
02Software experience before industrial AI
Arjun Mohan’s founder biography on Y Combinator traces his early career to a strategy analyst role at a technology company in Toronto. He later cofounded a software business that built ecommerce marketplaces. The same biography records undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto and a master’s at the Richard Ivey School of Business, adding detail to his background before Tenderd.[2]
