Zivy, the AI-driven tech startup that helps prioritise tasks and messages at work, has managed to obtain funds to the tune of $1.2 million. The fresh capital will be used to develop the product and also expand its research and development team.
The pre-seed funding round saw participation by investors Blume Ventures, Paradigm Shift Capital, iSeed, Everywhere Ventures, Indian Silicon Valley and Marsshot Ventures.
Other angel investors who participated included Ashwin Bhatnagar, Anand Balaji, Harshil Mathur, Shashank Kumar and Kunal Shah.
The startup was co-founded by Prashanth YV and Vivek Karna in 2023 and aimed at making life easy for those in managerial ranks. It’s targeted at those who are disturbed by notifications throughout the day, affecting their productivity.
Integrated with Slack, the app will make managers’ lives much easier by examining the context of conversations and tasks, and sorting them based on urgency and relevancy.
Only the most urgent and relevant messages will appear on the top, so that managers do not lose focus of their priorities and remain productive and efficient.
The app is meant to ensure managers are able to manage and organise their work more effectively. Zivy realises that managers who spend their entire day simply scanning through their messages are not going to get any work done. If they are busy with going through messages and trying to sort out what is most relevant, they will be far from productive. As Zivy’s website aptly puts it, “With Zivy, your barrage of pings turn into neat little stacks of cards.”
