Boardy, an AI-driven networking startup, has successfully closed a $3 million pre-seed funding round. Co-founded by Andrew D’Souza and the Boyed brothers, the startup aims to combat social isolation by connecting users through AI voice technology. Users share their professional needs with 'Boardy', an AI assistant that identifies potential connections within its growing network. D’Souza envisions Boardy as a tool that enhances human interaction rather than replacing it. The fresh capital will be used to enhance AI capabilities and expand the network, as competition in AI social networking grows.
