Why Delphi? 

Delphi is building the network of digital minds.

For the first time, anyone can create an interactive version of themselves: a living profile that talks, teaches, and answers questions in your voice, with your perspective and judgment, around the clock. The internet gave us static profiles and endless feeds. We're building something alive. People won't just read about you, they'll experience how you think.

This is the consumer shift we're betting on. Today it's thousands of the world's most brilliant minds. Next it's everyone: every thought leader, expert, and professional with a digital mind that scales their wisdom to anyone, anywhere. A new social layer where knowledge is abundant, personalized, and discoverable.

We are trusted and loved by thousands of the world’s most brilliant minds. We have tripled revenue, users, and Delphi interactions in the past 6 months - all organically through word of mouth. We plan to accelerate even further from here.

Delphi’s investors include Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund, Abstract Ventures, Michael Ovitz, Gokul Rajaram, Olivia Wilde, and dozens of founders from Lyft, Zoom, Doordash, and many more. Our team includes founders with successful exits and builders from Apple, Spotify, Substack and more.
