As CPO and Co-Founder at DailyFeats, Vinay guides DailyFeats' product and technology development, leading a team of designers, developers, and strategists focused on solving one of the Internet's toughest problems: activating not just digital engagement but real-life action, and creating an online experience that builds positive change.
In early 2008, Gidwaney was invited to be a visiting researcher in the Synthetic Neurobiology Group at MIT Media Lab. Under the leadership of Dr. Ed Boyden, Vinay helped to invent novel devices to control neuronal circuits for the treatment of neurological disorders.
Vinay was the CTO and Co-founder of Control-F1, starting the company shortly after high school. An industry leader in Support Automation, Control-F1 had over 100 customers worldwide, 50 employees, and raised ~$13M in venture capital. In December of 2005, Control-F1 was acquired by CA, one of the world's largest software companies with over $4B in sales. Vinay was also Director and a founding investor of Neurosilicon, a life science company focused on advancing healthcare research through enabling rapid, non-invasive, targeted depolarization of excitable cells using the company's novel photoconductive stimulation technology.
A 2002 winner of the prestigious MIT Technology Review Top 100 Innovators Under 35 award, Vinay tirelessly works to improve DailyFeats and help it fulfill its purpose of making positive action part of everyday life. He is the proud father of Leela (born 2011).
