TOP PICKS 📢

1/3

Amount: $32M 🎉

Round: Seed + Series A

Lead Investor: Battery Ventures

Beside is a cross-platform AI receptionist that answers calls and texts on a business’s existing number.

Their AI receptionist that answers calls and texts, books appointments, logs interactions, sends confirmations, and executes follow-ups. Over time, it acts like a Chief of Staff with a perfect recall of every customer conversation. They built their own telephony stack, handling number provisioning, compliance, porting, and carrier-grade call reliability.

Notably, they’ve crossed $4M in ARR and growing 30% MoM.

2/3

Amount: $6.8M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: Greylock

SuperMe is an AI-native professional network that converts a person’s private and public work into an AI profile others can query by text or voice.

The network is organised by topics and interaction rather than follow counts, and its “Perspective Search” routes a business question to the most relevant experts, returns answers via their AIs, and lets users compare viewpoints side-by-side. They encourage experts to connect private artifacts (e.g., Google Docs, Granola notes) and approve generated insights for public consumption.

3/3

Amount: $10.3M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: Mayfield, Boldstart Ventures

Uare AI builds personal AI replicas trained on an individual’s own data to capture their life story, worldview, values, and professional expertise.

These digital twins are created using a proprietary framework called the Human Life Model (HLM), which begins with in-depth interviews about the user's personal history and significant life moments, then layers in factual and occupational context. Once created, these models can be deployed across professional and creator workflows.
