What if the world’s foremost experts could scale their reach infinitely, making their knowledge and experiences accessible to everyone?

As of today, they can.

Excited to unveil our digital cloning platform Delphi for public use.

Digital cloning on Delphi uses AI to make 1-on-1 interactions with CEOs, creators, coaches, influencers, and politicians possible at scale.

Current methods of engaging with experts are predominantly passive (YouTube, blogs, podcasts, comments sections, cold DMs) with little hope for a reply. Delphi transforms the way the curious consume content by ensuring it adapts to new information and evolving worldviews.

Since announcing our first round of funding in September, we have been collaborating key early adopters to develop an intuitive clone creation interface.

Here is a list of some of our cloning features, available now.

🗣️ Clone can speak & think like you
💬  Meet your followers where they are
☎️ Real-time voice calling
📊 Powerful insights & analytics
🫰 Monetize your expertise
💸  Affiliate revenue streams

Now, you too can create a clone, right here: https://www.delphi.ai/

TLDR: In these challenging times, and while having one of my partners, Ophir Dror, fighting for 🇮🇱Israel🇮🇱 in Gaza, we are staying resilient and fighting to push forward the startup nation. I am excited to share with you my next venture, 🤠 Lasso Security 🤠, and announce our $6 million SEED funding round, as we are blazing our road trip in LLM cybersecurity to ensure organizations’ data is locked and secured in the GenAI Wild-Wild-West, while we Lasso the hackers coming our way 🦾.

I want to thank my fellow incredible Sherriffs (co-founders), Ophir Dror, Lior Ziv, and Yuval Abadi. Your unwavering dedication, visionary thinking, and relentless pursuit of excellence have brought us to this pivotal moment. I couldn't have asked for a better posse to embark on this journey with. Ophir, keep yourself and keep us safe, we miss you!

Your commitment and confidence in our product are driving us to reach new heights.

I also want to extend my appreciation to our esteemed board and advisory board members <Undercover> (can’t reveal him right now, he is on a  mission, so stay tuned), Rene Bonvanie, Netanel Fisher, Nir Chervoni and Uri Eliabayev, for your invaluable guidance and wisdom. Your experience and counsel have been instrumental in shaping the direction of Lasso Security, and we are grateful for your continued support.

The GenAI revolution is moving forward at full speed and hackers are already plotting. Our mission is to equip businesses with robust defenses to safeguard their systems. Every data point, command, and prompt generated by LLMs will be under the vigilant oversight of our sophisticated security platform, enabling teams to embrace generative AI without jeopardizing their data’s safety and security.

Excited to announce an oversubscribed $1.3M investment into our original $2M pre-seed, now valuing micro1 at $30M. 

We're building AI tools to source and vet top engineering talent around the world. We envision the future of software as human and AI intertwined in a beautiful manner. Thank you to Dream Ventures, Jason Calacanis, Joshua Browder, Cory Levy, and the 20+ others who believe in our mission and are helping accelerate it.

How did we get here?

I started my entrepreneurial journey at 12 years old, biking to garage sales and flipping textbooks.

By 14, I was thinking of ways to ‘scale’ my garage sale efforts. I created cashbooksnow, a textbook buyback service for college students. Using the Amazon API, we would give college students an instant quote on their textbook and buy it from them. I'd then take those textbooks and resell them on Amazon.

After not having much success with cashbooksnow, I began building peerlinc.com, an online tutoring marketplace. At peerlinc, we connected top undergraduate tutors with K-12 students for peer-to-peer tutoring. I got peerlinc to about a $100k/year run rate and had a small acquisition on acquire.com

At Berkeley, I started micro1. Soon after graduating Berkeley, we raised a $2M pre-seed led by @Jason and started scaling quickly. Three months later, right after closing our pre-seed, we turned profitable.

Though we had concluded our pre-seed, Dream Ventures offered to invest $1.3M at a $30M post-money valuation. Given my close relationship with Aryan at the fund, and the amazing growth value-adds Dream provided, I accepted the offer.

Now, micro1 is valued at $30M, less than 2 years after launch. It feels surreal. I'm honored and grateful.

Most importantly, I'm privileged to work with the smartest people I’ve ever met, every day – the micro1 team.

Thrilled to share that TechCrunch has featured CloudEagle’s 2023 SaaS Trends and Insights report!!

Our report found that companies plan to cut software spend up to 30% as they hit $3500 per employee. We launched our first “EagleEye half-yearly SaaS spend report” based on $400 million worth of SaaS transactions to help CFOs and CIOs compare and evaluate their own spending patterns with peers and make the right cost optimization decisions.

Delphi is excited to announce $2.7M in funding led by Founders Fund (Keith Rabois), with participation from Lux Capital (Shahin Farshchi), Xfund (Patrick S. Chung & Brandon Farwell), MVP Ventures, Balaji S., Matteo Franceschetti, John Coogan, Sarah Chase, Avlok K., John Andrew, and many others.

When we first introduced Delphi earlier this year, we shared our vision for a world where anyone, dead or alive, could scale their influence and time through digital clones.

Since then, Delphi has served as an interactive platform for thousands, offering them a unique opportunity to engage with and learn from digital clones of history's most profound philosophers and leaders.

This has provided us with insights into how to authentically replicate an individual's persona in the digital realm.

And it's opened up endless possibilities for creators today to not only save time but also build stronger and more meaningful connections with their audience.

Early partners who have cloned themselves on Delphi include Tiago Forte, Brian Tracy MBA, and many others.

Today, we’re making our new and improved digital cloning platform available to a limited group of creators.
