Adam is Chore's founder and CEO. He co-founded AbstractOps with Hari Raghavan to address startup back-office work, then launched Levy in September 2022 when the team separated operational services from software development. Levy was renamed Chore in January 2025; these are successive names for the operating-services business, not two unrelated startups.
His work covers the HR, payroll, compliance, finance and equity-administration tasks that founding teams need to run reliably. In May 2026, Chore announced that it had acquired DianaHR's client operations, giving those clients a path to continue receiving services as DianaHR wound down that part of its business.
His experience is relevant to deciding which processes to standardize, delegate or bring in-house, and how to combine software with human judgment in service delivery.
