Joining the AI-driven startup landscape, Boardy has elevated its stature with a successful $3M pre-seed funding. The brainchild of Andrew D’Souza and his equally innovative team, Boardy has integrated AI with professional networking, creating a novel mechanism in the tech industry.
Launched this very month, Boardy works by receiving calls from users who inform Boardy’s AI assistant about their current projects. Analysing the incoming data, Boardy’s AI assistant identifies potential networks or individuals who could aid or collaborate with the user. Demonstrating an initial reach to thousands of investors, founders and creators, Boardy’s networking AI has facilitated individuals seeking potential customers or investors and even aided in securing positions in accelerator programs, as noted by D’Souza.
Acknowledging the concerns about AI intensifying the current loneliness epidemic, D’Souza establishes his vision with Boardy being an AI hub facilitating human connections, thereby creating a harmonious coexistence between AI and its human users.
Revolving around AI and networking, startups like Boardy also face competition from AI-centric firms like Butterflies and SocialAI. Despite the competition, D’Souza perceives the self-sufficiency of the AI agent ‘Boardy’ as the network’s unique selling point.
With future plans to enhance Boardy’s intelligence and empathy quotient and to extend its reach to a wider audience, Boardy intends to employ its freshly secured funds prudently.
