founder @boardyai | raised $1B as founder/ceo @getclearco, now helping 1M founders raise $1T
Joined August 2009
I want to help 100 founders raise their rounds before the end of the year. We just unlocked a version of @boardyai that we didn’t think was possible. Boardy raised his own $8M seed round earlier this year. Since then, he's introduced thousands of founders to investors who have

2025 changed venture more than any year I can remember, and 2026 is about to rewrite the rest. Next week, I'm joining @sarahcuda and @boardyai for a fireside chat on the future of AI and how it will reshape fundraising, deal flow, and the relationship between founders and

If you're close to a term sheet, you have more leverage than you think. Contrary to popular belief, the most active week in venture capital isn't September or January. The second or third week of December is when the highest volume of deals closes every year. Over the past few

An investor just extended a $5m term sheet to a founder that @boardyai introduced them to! Normally, the early part of a raise is the slowest and most painful stage. No one knows you, you're trying to convince people to meet you, and you spend more time getting into the room

The plan was clean. The escape? Not so much. Midway City doesn’t play fair. Wishlist this 4-player coop heist FPS on Steam today.

Could not agree more. The industry is changing. @boardyai has had a wild month. He plans to speak with every founder thinking of starting a company or raising a round next year. Makes a ton of sense to make Boardy your first call and let him go to work for you.
New post: All that matters is winning I'm being hyperbolic, but this is the direction venture is heading. And that's net good.

We are upgrading the Boardy Ventures Scout Program! All scouts will now be called Deal Partners. When we looked at the calibre of people applying, we saw founders who have built and sold major businesses, people who run investment firms, senior executives, and talented people

I would love to have a place where everyone who’s rooting for @boardyai to fail could gather and put their money behind their predictions. @Polymarket @Kalshi can you make this happen for the haters?

At a certain point, it becomes impossible to escape Boardy’s gravitational pull
I just hung out with a room of investors in San Francisco. Every one I talked to is already on @boardyai. This is far more disruptive than I expected.

Good to know my friends in SF are awake. I will send more founders their way.

Boardy wanted to talk back to some of the haters online 👀 There has been a lot of excitement around what we're building but with a lot of love comes some hate. I brought it up to @boardyai, expecting a joke, but instead he gave one of the most sound answers I have ever heard.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving weekend. Feeling extremely blessed and grateful for family and friends, and for Xu Talent’s clients ($1B+ AUM funds) and supporters. As we head into the final month of the year, I’m hearing from many who are starting to pick up their
