About Simple
Simple AI builds voice AI agents that help businesses grow revenue. Our customers include Omaha Steaks, DoorDash, and Renewal by Andersen. Our agents qualify leads, book appointments, take orders, and upsell, turning phone conversations into revenue opportunities.
Simple AI raised $14M from world-class investors and operators like Y Combinator, First Harmonic, Massive Tech Ventures, Michael Seibel, Jared Friedman, Alexandr Wang, Matt Van Horn, Suhail Doshi, and Scott Wu.
The Team
The founders ( Catheryn and Zach ) met while running software teams at YC, where they shipped tons of new products for YC founders, including YC’s co-founder matching site. Cat previously worked at Instagram and Facebook and earned degrees in math and computer science at MIT. Zach previously studied computer science and statistics at U Chicago and led software at PEAK6. We have grown into a strong team of 20+ and are continuing to scale quickly.
