/EIN News/ -- MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BDev Ventures, a venture capital firm specializing in revenue acceleration for B2B software startups, announced a strategic investment in Personal AI, a New York-based firm that develops an AI persona training platform for enterprise. The investment includes access to BDev Ventures' proprietary lead generation platform, WinDifferent, which was key in transforming BairesDev into the world’s largest and fastest-growing bootstrapped IT services company. So far, the platform has driven double-digit revenue growth for Personal AI during the trial phase.

Personal AI is redefining the modern workforce by enabling organizations across many industries to build networks of AI Personas that work alongside human counterparts.

"At Personal AI, we're committed to changing how companies and their employees think about collaborating with AI in a professional environment," said Suman Kanuganti, CEO and Co-founder of Personal AI.
