Co-founder, CEO, and Product Visionary at CherryCircle Software, Yash Sabharwal, is a successful serial entrepreneur tackling complex problems in the life sciences. Yash started CherryCircle in 2017 to develop the QbDVision knowledge management platform for the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. Prior to starting CherryCircle, Yash was a co-founder and Chief Operating Officer at Xeris Pharmaceuticals.

Further discussions with industry veterans confirmed the need for a solution like QbDVision.

Prior to starting Xeris in Austin, Yash co-founded Optical Insights in 1997 to solve imaging challenges in biomedical applications. Optical Insights was acquired by Roper Industries in 2005. Xeris Pharmaceuticals completed its IPO in 2018 and the products Yash helped launch are now FDA-approved products.

Over the years, he has been a mentor to budding entrepreneurs within the Austin community including support of many local incubators. From 2014 to 2017, Yash was a director on the board of the Austin Technology Council. He also served as an advisor to the Texas Health Catalyst program of the University of Texas Dell Medical School.

Yash has a B.S. in Optics from the University of Rochester and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Optical Sciences from the University of Arizona.
