AI-powered email startup Faraday has raised $0.2 million in a pre-seed funding round led by AJVC, marking a significant step in its mission to reinvent the traditional email experience. The investment, made earlier this year, has been channelled into team expansion, office setup, accelerated product development, and go-to-market execution, the company said.
Faraday is building an AI-led, organised, and context-aware email client designed to reduce cognitive overload and transform how users engage with daily communication. The platform currently supports all personal and professional Gmail and Google Workspace accounts, with Outlook integration expected to launch soon.
With explicit user consent, Faraday integrates directly with inboxes to deliver a prompt-free, intelligent email workflow. Its standout features include semantic search, superior thread resolution, enhanced attachment handling, group summarisation, and contextual organisation—tools designed to boost productivity for busy professionals.
The latest funding aligns with AJVC’s growing focus on early-stage technology startups. The investment firm recently backed Iztri, a fashion-tech startup, with a ₹1.5 crore pre-seed round. AJVC has also invested in civic-tech platform Jaagruk Bharat, vehicle servicing marketplace GaadiMech.com, jewellery brand Nuyug, and FMCG company Mithila Foods, which develops Bihar-based food products.
With the rising demand for AI-driven productivity tools, Faraday’s approach to reimagining email management positions it strongly in a competitive yet rapidly evolving category. The company aims to continue scaling its product capabilities and user base as it moves toward broader market adoption.
