About

Duchemin noted that the company has deaf and hard-of-hearing people in leadership positions across the team that bring real hands-on experience to the topic. Ava at least provides ways forward in all of these situations, and while a lot of this responsibility is put on the person using the tool, its capabilities mean the workplace can adapt to them more seamlessly. And Ava was on set, being used by the cast and crew when interpreters weren’t around and sign language wasn’t an option.

AI made execution free. Knowing first is the whole game now.

Fundz sees it the moment Ava raises, hires an exec or expands, usually minutes after it happens, and tells you who to reach.
