👨‍💻 Deep Dive: Soham Parekh and the Multi-Startup Scandal

This week, the startup world was rocked by a very human AI-era story: Soham Parekh, a talented engineer, was caught secretly working at up to 5 startups at once—without telling any of them.

It started with a callout from Suhail Doshi, founder of Playground AI. Soon, companies like Synthesia, Antimetal, and Leaping AI confirmed they had all unknowingly hired him—some firing him within days. One claimed he called in sick—then appeared in a launch video for another YC startup.

đź§ľ Parekh’s response:
In a now-viral interview, he admitted it all—citing financial pressure, working 140+ hour weeks, and coding solo without AI tools or junior devs. “It wasn’t greed,” he said, “just survival.”

🎯 Impact:

  • Raised questions about how startups vet remote hires

  • Sparked debate on moonlighting ethics in the AI age

  • Highlighted how AI tools are enabling “quiet overemployment”

💼 He’s now taken a full-time role at Darwin Studios, vowing to focus and rebuild trust.
