Coming out of stealth mode, Ando, founded by Sara Du, has raised $20 million in funding for its new messaging platform where AI agents and humans can collaborate naturally.

Next-Generation Communication Platform

While helping companies build model context servers, Sara Du noticed users wondering how to use AI agents within Slack.

Active Participation of Agents

Realizing that existing communication tools treat agents merely as applications, the entrepreneur designed a system where agents have their own identities.

Investment and Supporters

Ando secured a total of $20 million in funding in its pre-seed and seed financing rounds from prominent investors such as Accel, Index Ventures, and Emergence.

Global Growth Plans

Operating in fifteen different countries with customers in the software, real estate, and finance sectors, the startup will use the new capital to expand its team and scale its operations.
