Company

Ana Yoon Faria de Lima is listed as a founder of Pavoot. Pavoot is an AI event manager for companies that run in-person customer events. More and more companies are investing in dinners, summits, and community events because relationships drive revenue. But today, running events means sourcing attendees, sending invitations, hosting the event, and then manually digging through notes, emails, and spreadsheets afterward to figure out who attended, what was discussed, who is a strong lead, and who should be followed up with. Most teams either send generic "thanks for coming" emails or never properly capture the value created during the event. Pavoot replaces this fragmented workflow with a single AI system that keeps every attendee, interaction, conversation, and follow-up connected in one place, making relationship-driven growth scalable. Gohar and Ana met while studying Computer Science at ETH Zurich. Gohar is a six-time Swiss chess champion and was the youngest member of Switzerland’s national chess team at age 13. Ana won more than 20 medals in scientific Olympiads, ranked 1st in CS at Latin America’s most competitive university, and built internal AI systems used by hundreds of data scientists at some of the largest banks in Latin America before moving to ETH Zurich for AI research. === Book a demo: pavoot.com

    Você trocaria o carro ou a moto pela bike no seu dia a dia? E se pagassem para você fazer isso? Estamos felizes em anunciar as inscrições abertas para o 2º piloto do Programa Bike SP, um projeto do IME-USP e do FGV Cidades em parceria com a SMT e a SPTrans, da Prefeitura de São Paulo. A ideia é simples e cientificamente rigorosa: testar se pagar créditos no Bilhete Único por quilômetro pedalado é capaz de mudar de verdade os hábitos de mobilidade em São Paulo. Os resultados vão ajudar a prefeitura a desenhar, com base em evidências, a política pública definitiva do programa. Estamos especialmente interessados em participantes que ainda pedalam pouco ou não pedalam em seus deslocamentos diários. Se esse é o seu caso, esse é o momento ideal para experimentar: você ganha créditos de transporte público só por trocar alguns trajetos de carro ou moto pela bicicleta. Requisitos: ser maior de id

    @paulg and @jesslivingston told our batch about early YC yesterday. Founder dinners were there from day one. One of the things that built YC. P.S. The Social Radars podcast by @jesslivingston and @cjoneslevy is full of these stories. Highly recommend.

    There’s no way websites won’t all be running on @ployai . This is a totally different experience from what we’ve used so far. Congrats to @bryantchou and the @ployai team on the launch! (And check out http:// pavoot.com, it’s all built on Ploy.) Quote brryant @bryantchou · Jun 17 AI is making marketers lazy. So we made the website do the work instead. Today, we're launching @ployai: the all-in-one marketing platform that turns your website into your hardest working employee. And we're coming out of stealth today with a $27M seed led by @ycombinator and 0:02 / 1:17
