Aashna Doshi, 23, Leaves Google for AI Startup Bounty as Podcast Tops 100,000 Views

Summary
May marked Doshi’s exit from Google, where the 23-year-old engineer left to build AI startup Bounty full-time with her podcast co-founder.
100,000 YouTube views for their “0 to 1” podcast helped accelerate that shift, as interviews with founders and tech leaders pulled her interests beyond day-to-day engineering work.
Bounty is an outcome-based AI marketplace where companies pay only when tasks such as hiring, outreach or lead generation deliver results.
Google had offered Doshi a full-time role in February 2024 before graduation; after first rejecting a California posting, she later joined the company in New York.
The move leaves her with lower income and no startup revenue yet, but she said the bigger risk was staying in a comfortable job and wondering what she might have built.
