I'm thrilled to announce that Ezra AI Labs has raised a pre-seed round with participation from a16z speedrun, Telegraph Hill Capital, New Enterprise Associates (NEA) Angels Fund, and other strategic investors. Ezra is an AI interviewer that supercharges your recruiting teams. It learns your job, understands what you're looking for in a perfect candidate, conducts convenient and quick interviews with candidates, and evaluates them for you. It's built on top of my proprietary voice AI system that's low-latency and contextually-aware. After 18 months of solo development, what started as a simple question — can AI truly understand the human elements of hiring? — has evolved into something our early customers are finding transformative. I'm excited to work with Jonathan Lai at a16z speedrun as we scale. I'm now ready to grow the team (beyond just me!). If you're passionate about AI, recruiting, or building products that genuinely help people connect, I'd love to hear from you. ezraailabs.tech #AIStartup #VoiceAI #Recruiting #a16zspeedrun #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWork #HRTech #VentureCapital

The VC slowdown is real But 400+ brave VCs still invested over $1M in seed deals last month If you're raising soon, maybe start with them? To help, I made a list of 418 investors who led round over $1M If you want it 1. Comment "Nov Leads" 2. RT + Follow so I can DM it
