Timing. Relevance. Relationships.

Fundz is the only platform that reads more than a dozen real‑time signals all day, every day, so you know about new funding, new executives and new contracts within minutes of them happening, not days or weeks later like the databases you’re used to. It then combines the signals on each company, scores every company against what you offer, and weaves in your own network, so you discover new accounts first and work existing ones better.

Each morning you get the ones worth your time right now: who to reach, why now, and who you already know there. Now it answers in Claude too: ask for today’s leads, then write the note in the same window.

Description

Zimbabwean founders Michael Moyo and Louis Murerwa raised $2 million in pre-seed funding for Ocular AI, a company producing datasets, evaluations, and benchmarks for advanced AI systems. The round was led by Drive Capital with participation from Y Combinator, Alumni Ventures, 1745 Ventures, Orange Collective, MyAsia VC, and angel investors. Ocular AI operates upstream in the AI value chain, supplying high-quality voice and audiovisual data to frontier AI labs and Fortune 100 companies rather than building applications for end markets. The company addresses the growing demand for high-quality full-duplex speech data needed to train voice-native AI models.

About

Ocular AI is a Zimbabwe-founded company that produces high-quality datasets, evaluations, and benchmarks for training and assessing advanced AI systems, with a focus on voice and audiovisual technology. The company supplies data to frontier AI labs and Fortune 100 companies developing voice-native and audio-native models. It operates an Expert Network of vetted specialists who contribute domain expertise to create datasets capturing natural conversation patterns including pauses, interruptions, and overlapping speech. Founded in 2024, the company already reports seven-figure revenue and addresses the constraint of data quality rather than volume in AI model development.

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