Parley

Fundraising and qualified inbound without warm intros

Personal AI agent per owner

Each owner gets a private agent trained on their own thesis, notes, and past decisions, with its own link and inbox.

Criteria-based qualification

The agent scores every request against the owner's criteria, not a shared ranking, and asks follow-up questions to fill gaps.

Multi-channel intake

Requests can arrive via public link, email forwarding, Telegram, widget, or API, with webhooks to push briefs into a CRM.

Privacy and human override

Memory and rules stay inside the owner's account; owners can take over any thread and every decision is recorded.

Strengths & Pros

+Replaces opaque warm intros with a transparent, criteria-driven process
+Runs across multiple markets — fundraising, sales, hiring, accelerators
+Strong privacy stance: memory and thesis stay with the owner
+Human can override the agent at any point
