Zivy, an AI-powered tool designed to help managers and leads prioritize workplace messages and tasks, has successfully raised $1.2 million in a pre-seed funding round. The round was co-led by prominent investors such as Blume Ventures, Paradigm Shift Capital, iSeed, Everywhere Ventures, Indian Silicon Valley, and Marsshot Ventures. Angel investors including Ashwin Bhatnagar, Anand Balaji, Razorpay co-founders Harshil Mathur & Shashank Kumar, and Kunal Shah also participated in the round.
According to the company’s press release, the funds will be utilized for product development and expanding Zivy’s research and development (R&D) team. Co-founded in 2023 by Prashanth YV and Vivek Karna, Zivy is on a mission to create a personalized AI-driven copilot that empowers managers to organize their work effectively, cut through the barrage of notifications, and focus on what matters most.
“Zivy envisions that the key to building high-performing teams lies in making managers more productive. The constant stream of notifications is a major productivity killer, and Zivy’s AI tool is built to address that issue,” said the founders in the press release.
The platform’s initial release is integrated with Slack, where it analyzes conversations and tasks, elevating the most urgent and relevant information. By categorizing and prioritizing messages intelligently, Zivy aims to ensure managers can stay focused and productive without getting bogged down by unnecessary distractions.
Zivy’s approach is unique as it leverages AI to enhance workplace productivity by helping managers streamline communication. With the new funds, Zivy is set to accelerate its product roadmap and improve user experience, aiming to revolutionize the way teams collaborate.
