Founderland PAM

Build an inclusive virtual mentor powered by AI.

I was responsible for setting the priorities, defining the creative vision, managing the designer’s day-to-day activities and supporting implementation.

The Problem

Less than 0.5% of funding lands in the hands of women of colour founders. We need to change the ratio.

The Need

To present a confident story, our audience needs a risk-free way to prepare for the pitch room.

The Solution

An AI powered web experience that simulates the experience of a VC pitch room — the people, the pressure and the questions. Extending the training we offer a small community of in-person trainees every year to the whole Founderland community.

PAM gives founders a safe-space online to practice their pitch and receive instant, personalized feedback all within an Al-powered environment.

At the heart of PAM is a custom Al model that can analyze any 5 minute pitch. Within the experience is a simulated live pitch mode, virtual investors and an option for more supportive, or more challenging questioning.
