Re: Startup Ahura Al - due diligence
Hi Jeffrey,
Greetings from SF. I am doing DD on Ahura Al to invest 25K-50K as an angel (SAFE, 5 min valuation). Do you think you could take a look at this startup and share your thoughts ?
Ahura Al uses Artificial Intelligence to personalize eLearning. It first reads students' facial expressions, tone of voice and heart rate to calculate engagement. Then, it alters content real-time as their engagement level fluctuates. Such improvements offer returns on costs like corporate trainings, which are incredibly time and resource draining. Attached is the deck of Ahura Al and here is a screening memo that I did.
Demo of the technology.

Bio of the founding team members
Would you be interested to have a call with me and the founders to ask them right questions ?
They gave me until 7 April to make up my mind for a friends and family round. They raise 3M, 10M valuation afterwards.
Thank you and see you in NY mid April.

silly
why do you say so ? Just had a long call with the team again.
Can we call with them with you ? did you understand the product ? My concern is that the team are not PHDs in Al. They seem not to be a fit for what they try to build. They got into two accelerators, Singularity Univiersity Incubator and Techstars. Brya Talebi is an impressive networker - got invited and attended Richard Branson's island retreat, became friends with many masters of the world.
They have two products:
- plug in to help you bring your attention back to material you are learning when you get distracted 2) education courses for corporations to retrain their workers (those who will loose jobs in 10-20 years, fast food operators, truck drivers, uber drivers). These courses focus on subjects such as social media marketing, coding, psychology - they figured these courses will prepare people who will loose job to change careers.
