What you likely need
You're an early-stage founder with a funded AI startup in a high-momentum space (trade/customs automation), backed by top-tier seed investors Pear VC and First Round Capital. Your immediate priorities are scaling the team, deepening customer traction, and positioning Amari AI for a Series A. Your ex-Google engineering credibility and the $1.5B in goods cleared are strong proof points to leverage.
Are these your current priorities?
We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.
- hiringAccelerate your founding AI engineer hiring — your LinkedIn and company profile both signal you're actively recruiting, and team depth will be a key Series A diligence question.
- fundraisingBegin building your Series A narrative now using the $1.5B in goods cleared as a headline metric — quantify ARR, NRR, and broker retention to anchor the story.
- introsLeverage your Pear VC and First Round Capital relationships for warm introductions to Series A leads — both firms have strong networks with Tier 1 growth-stage investors.
- positioningPublish detailed case studies with named customs broker customers to build credibility in a traditionally relationship-driven industry and support enterprise sales cycles.
- positioningDouble down on the Trump tariff / trade chaos narrative surfaced in TechCrunch — this is a timely wedge that differentiates Amari AI from generic automation tools.
- tacticalFollow up on the TechCrunch feature with a data-driven press release once you hit a milestone (e.g., $5B in goods cleared or 50 broker customers) to maintain media momentum.
- wellbeingWith a two-person founding team scaling fast, invest time in explicit role clarity and decision-making frameworks between you and Arushi Vashist to avoid friction at growth stage.
