Gurveer Singh is a South African entrepreneur and the founder of Certus AI, a company that develops artificial intelligence-powered voice agents designed to handle phone orders for restaurants. The company is a Y Combinator alumnus. Singh, originally from Cape Town, founded Certus AI at the age of 19.[1]

Career

Singh founded Certus AI, which builds autonomous voice systems for the restaurant industry. The company's core product is an AI phone agent that answers restaurant phone lines around the clock, takes complex food orders, and integrates them directly into a restaurant's point-of-sale (POS) system. The technology is intended to replace or supplement human staff on phone lines, reducing missed calls and capturing revenue that restaurants might otherwise lose from unanswered or abandoned calls.[2]

Certus AI was accepted into Y Combinator, one of the most prominent startup accelerators in the United States. The company has been recognized in the restaurant technology space, with its website noting designations including "Best Restaurant Tech" and "Top AI Startup."[3]

A November 2025 profile in Tech Times described the company as having been co-founded by three individuals who identified inefficiencies in the restaurant front-of-house experience and developed autonomous voice systems to address them.[4] The company has attracted a number of restaurant clients and maintains an active presence on social media platforms including YouTube, where it publishes content related to restaurant operations and technology adoption.

Singh's entry into the startup world at a young age drew attention in his home country of South Africa, where his acceptance into Y Combinator was covered by technology media outlets. Beyond these details, limited public information is available regarding Singh's educational background or prior professional experience.
