MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BDev Ventures, a venture capital firm specializing in revenue acceleration for B2B software startups, announced a strategic investment in Personal AI, a New York-based firm that develops an AI persona training platform for enterprise. The investment includes access to BDev Ventures' proprietary lead generation platform, WinDifferent, which was key in transforming BairesDev into the world’s largest and fastest-growing bootstrapped IT services company. So far, the platform has driven double-digit revenue growth for Personal AI during the trial phase.
Personal AI is redefining the modern workforce by enabling organizations across many industries to build networks of AI Personas that work alongside human counterparts. The company's proprietary AI training and collaboration platform develops private, role-specific AI personas, each trained on an organization's proprietary data. This ensures category-leading accuracy, transparency, and privacy, particularly crucial for regulated sectors such as legal, financial services, and government. Personal AI’s solutions are designed to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows, and preserve institutional knowledge across various Industries.
"At Personal AI, we're committed to changing how companies and their employees think about collaborating with AI in a professional environment," said Suman Kanuganti, CEO and Co-founder of Personal AI. "We're always excited to show off our product to new customers, but a lot has to happen before you get that opportunity. WinDifferent really changed how we approach outbound, allowing us to connect with decision-makers in a scalable way. We're excited to partner with BDev, 100x this approach, and ensure that organizations who can benefit most from Personal AI are well aware of it."
