Thrilled to see Socap.ai launch today. As someone who's worn multiple hats - from founder to investor to YC CEO - I deeply understand the challenge of managing an ever-growing network of founders and investors.
What excites me about Socap.ai is how it's revolutionizing network building and fundraising with AI-powered matchmaking. In true YC fashion, they're tackling a real problem that every founder and investor faces.
The team has strong backing from the YC ecosystem, which speaks volumes about their potential to transform how we build meaningful connections in tech.

Thanks to @garrytan for hunting us and supporting us as part of YC!
Product hunters, let's face the harsh truth — cold outreach isn't cutting it anymore for a lot of use cases, such as fundraising or bizdev. Every day, the cost of highly personalized mass spam messages decreases, and our inboxes/DMs are overcrowded with them. Ironically, AI is making AI SDRs obsolete (first slowly, then so rapidly that we won't even see it coming).
But what's the alternative?
As repeat YC alums who raised over $180M (one of us is also an ex-VC with 2 unicorns from a seed portfolio), we've accumulated tens of thousands of connections across email/LinkedIn/messengers over the last 15 years.
We've long realized that our most valuable capital is our SOCIAL capital — simply put, our network.
Best partnerships, best hires, best investors — we found them all either directly in our network or via intros from people we know.
It used to take us months and a bunch of human helping hands to manage it as a system — and now we've built an app that can handle all of the dirty work (enrichment, research, and automation) plus, it is a delight to collaborate in.
🙌 In a nutshell, Socap.ai is an AI networking copilot for entrepreneurs like you — and all you need to do to start getting value is connect your email account.
We've been testing it in closed beta with hundreds of founders/investors during the last 5 months — starting to open up access last Monday and it already went viral (2000+ comments on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/up...)!

Nice ! Definitely a very useful product. Curious to test this. Congrats and good luck with the launch and beyond!
Great project, what kind of AI models do you run on the data? Do you run it locally or send to partners?
@kurilo We're using a bunch of smaller open source models under the hood.
Congrars! How does the pricing look like? Also, is there an api available once accounts are connected!’b
@yigit API - no, pricing-wise we're freemium, so you can easily try
I really like this tool! Recently started to use it, ultimately increasing value from the graph of connections.
based on 5 minutes review, I don't find it tempting at all. Boring interface and OMG...
subscription. IF your intention is to help entrepreneur to match with investors, make it a deal that the former pays some fees upon successful closing of deals. I am not your judge in all humility.
I don't think that it is a great business model.
Launching soon!
Congrats on the launch, looks pretty cool.
As a founder myself, cold outreach is far from enough. Leveraging on your social capital is key, and more tools to automate and improve these flows are always welcome.
Good luck!
@manu_hortet Thx - but this looks like an automated message isn't it?

absolute gold. thanks for subtitles. will try. this is a real need.
Really like the idea - will try this out! As a former PMM at LinkedIn, this type of platform was what I imagined the company growing towards...but startups move faster :)
