Developed by Clearco Co-Founder, Boardy Blends Technology with Human-Centric Goals

Boardy, an AI-driven “super-connector,” has made headlines by independently raising an $8 million seed round, following a $3 million pre-seed just months earlier. Developed by Canadian founders, including Clearco co-founder Andrew D’Souza, Boardy engages investors and users through its conversational AI platform, which fosters meaningful connections by introducing individuals with compatible goals and ideas. Remarkably, Creandum, the venture firm leading the seed round, decided to invest after interacting solely with Boardy, without engaging its human team until the deal was nearly complete.

The AI’s design, as reported in techbomb.ca, reflects the founders’ vision of amplifying human connections rather than replacing them. Boardy uses metrics like successful introductions, partnerships formed and scalability potential to pitch itself. This approach resonated with investors, showcasing the AI’s ability to connect people across industries and geographies. Beyond its role as a networking facilitator, Boardy incorporates a strong ethical framework, emphasizing trust, transparency and fairness in its algorithms to maintain its neutrality and authenticity.

Boardy’s rapid success highlights its ability to innovate in the AI space by prioritizing relationships and empathy over pure efficiency. It facilitates connections by acting as a “bridge,” using machine learning and AI tools to synchronize its recommendations with user goals. By focusing on building meaningful relationships, Boardy represents a shift from AI tools designed to replace human effort to those designed to enhance collaboration and understanding.

Looking ahead, Boardy plans to scale its platform to onboard thousands of users, offer premium features, and explore monetization opportunities through SaaS deals and enterprise-level subscriptions. With its mission to connect people and its proven ability to attract funding, Boardy exemplifies the future potential of AI as a unifying force that strengthens human networks rather than replacing them.
