NEW YORK, NY, February 28, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Today, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) recognized Prashant Bhuyan, Strategic Board Advisor, CEO, and Co-Founder of Accrete AI, as one of the Most Exceptional Entrepreneurs of 2023 at its annual Builders and Innovators Summit held in Healdsburg, California.

The prestigious recognition highlights leaders who are driving innovation, redefining industries, and building transformative companies across sectors. Goldman Sachs selected Prashant from a highly competitive group of entrepreneurs spanning multiple industries to be honored at the two-day event, which convenes visionary founders, investors, and business leaders to discuss the future of innovation and global markets.

Prashant launched Accrete AI in 2017 with the mission of ending organizational knowledge loss through the creation of AI agents that leverage tacit human knowledge to reason, predict, and make decisions at superhuman scale. Under his leadership and strategic guidance, Accrete has become a recognized leader in enterprise and government AI applications, serving customers including the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Special Operations Command, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, and Fortune 500 companies across media, entertainment, and consumer goods industries.

In addition to his leadership at Accrete, Prashant serves on the Atlantic Council Commission on Defense Innovation and helped create the Atlantic Council initiative Eye to Eye in AI: Developing Artificial Intelligence for National Security and Defense. The initiative calls for greater standardization in AI ethics, explainability, bias mitigation, privacy, and security to accelerate the procurement of critical dual-use AI technologies that strengthen national security.

"I am honored to receive this recognition for entrepreneurship from Goldman Sachs on behalf of my incredible team at Accrete," said Prashant Bhuyan, Strategic Board Advisor, CEO, and Co-Founder of Accrete AI. "An entrepreneur is nothing more than an intermediary between labor and capital that sets a vision and takes responsibility for the outcome. Without a world-class team and committed investors, Accrete would not be possible."

He continued, "Accrete was built on the belief that AI will unleash human genius, create new markets for superintelligence, and revolutionize the way we work. Goldman Sachs has been an extraordinary partner over the last seven years in helping Accrete realize its vision, and for that I'm truly grateful."

"We're delighted to recognize Prashant as one of the most exceptional entrepreneurs of 2023," said David Solomon, Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs. "Like everyone in this year's class, Prashant has been a visionary in his field, pushing forward innovation and redefining markets. We are excited to harness Goldman's convening power to bring together these dynamic leaders and hear their insights."

In addition to honoring exceptional entrepreneurs, the Builders and Innovators Summit features general sessions and focused clinics led by seasoned entrepreneurs, academics, resident scholars, and business leaders. The event provides a collaborative forum for exploring the challenges and opportunities shaping the next generation of innovation-driven companies.

As Strategic Board Advisor and founder, Prashant continues to help guide Accrete's long-term vision, focused on advancing AI systems that amplify human expertise and enable organizations to make faster, more intelligent decisions at scale.
