Eightfold co-founders raise $35M for Viven, an AI digital twin startup for querying unavailable co-workers

Viven, an AI-driven digital twin startup, has raised $35 million in seed funding led by Khosla Ventures and Foundation Capital. The company was co-founded by the team behind Eightfold, a leading talent intelligence platform. Viven's primary focus is to help employees access information and knowledge from their unavailable co-workers by creating digital twins of those individuals. The digital twins are powered by AI and machine learning, allowing users to query them as if they were conversing with the actual person. The company aims to address the challenges faced by remote and hybrid work environments, where access to institutional knowledge and expertise can be limited. By creating digital replicas of employees, Viven hopes to facilitate seamless collaboration and knowledge sharing, even when team members are unavailable. The seed funding will be used to further develop Viven's technology, expand its team, and drive adoption among businesses seeking to enhance their remote and hybrid work capabilities.
