Louisa AI, a groundbreaking AI-powered platform has secured $5 million in seed funding to enhance its technology designed to systematise “serendipity” in professional settings. Originating from an innovative concept at Goldman Sachs in 2018, Louisa AI has matured into a powerful tool for sales enablement and deal-making, leveraging network effects to create timely and impactful business connections.
Now operating independently, Louisa AI focuses on eliminating conflicts of interest, enabling the company to form B2B SaaS partnerships across a variety of industries. This strategic autonomy supports Louisa AI’s mission to provide unbiased and effective connections, promoting a new level of collaborative intelligence.
The platform’s inception was inspired by a serendipitous encounter experienced by Founder Rohan Doctor at Goldman Sachs, leading to the realisation that such fortuitous moments could be systematised through AI. This vision has evolved into Louisa AI, a platform that not only prompts deals but also fosters collaborative intelligence within and between companies.
The seed funding round attracted support from Oxford University’s investment arms, a number of early-stage venture capitalists such as Palm Drive VC, Evolution VC, Nucleus VC and Gaingels and finally, ex-Goldman Sachs partners, colleagues, clients, friends and family offices, all of whom have seen the team execute on this innovative concept and trust in Doctor’s ability to scale the business globally.
