Arvo is out of stealth!

We’ve been building the first AI meeting assistant purpose-built for financial institutions.

Already live with investment banks and PE firms representing over $300bn in AUM.

Grateful to our early customers, supporters, partners, and especially our engineering team for helping make this possible.

We’re hiring in NYC for ambitious, high-agency engineers. Reach out to learn more.

I'm excited to introduce @ArvoHQ out of stealth and announce our $2.2m funding round led by @AforeVC alongside industry leaders.

As a former investment banker and investor, my work revolved around meetings. Prep --> notes --> cleanup --> CRM logging --> follow-ups.

Yet despite how central meetings are, existing meeting assistants don't meet the highly nuanced compliance and workflow requirements of financial institutions.

That's why, alongside @umerhaidr, leading SEC and cybersecurity experts, and industry professionals, we've built Arvo - the first AI meeting assistant purpose-built for financial institutions.

Arvo generates analyst-style notes, integrates with finance-specific CRMs, and unlocks deal-winning meeting insights - all built from the ground up with granular compliance controls that address crucial industry concerns.

Arvo has already been used on thousands of critical meetings across leading investment banks and private equity firms representing $300bn AUM, and we're just getting started.

If you work at a financial institution and need a meeting assistant, book a demo (https://t.co/7WJVnY62Xc).

We're also hiring for our core engineering team in NYC. If you're an ambitious, high-agency engineer interested in transforming high finance - reach out.

Thank you to our investors and supporters, this is just the beginning.

@paulg E-commerce as an industry will be affected mostly

e.g. Companies such as amazon, temu, tiktok shop, ...

They might not collapse, but things like drop shipping will die

2nd order effects might include plastics, chemicals and so forth with reduced production

@rauchg @vercel @tobiaslins That's actually crazy. I wonder if companies will start trying to proxy out these bots

Data is a commodity

[Umer @umerhaidr]

@GavinSBaker Businesses have been doing this for all sorts of laws

You can see this for specific fee's certain jursidictions have

For example, in NYC / SF food delivery companies disclose the Bottle Fees and Cup Fees associated with ordering things like Startbuck on their checkout page

@koomen This is exactly the thesis behind Rplyr:

- Gemini’s generic system prompts don’t work for email
- Prompts should not be black boxes. Users should be able to customize prompts for their needs

@rauchg @vercel Goes to show good documentation / SEO becomes all the more important for crawlers.

@paulg There is a case study here. High adrenaline activities for idea generation.

@DavidSacks Do you think we should be escalating with China? What is the game theory here?

[Umer @umerhaidr]

@benln How many are succeeding? How many are grabbing on the AI gold rush?

[Umer @umerhaidr]

@AntonioGracias A great company, which started with a powerful cause. Hope they succeed!

[Umer @umerhaidr]

@unusual_whales It begs the question if we should be winning through opposition or cooperation.

I prefer the latter.
