The right mentor for each founder
ERABot searches ERA’s roster of 1,000+ mentors, with each one’s background and past work with ERA, to suggest who a founder should meet next.
Case study · Accelerator & venture fund
ERA: building an AI-native fund.
ERA has backed 400+ startups since 2011 and is one of TIME’s America’s Best Accelerators of 2026. We built ERABot, the AI teammate the firm now works with every day.
01 The starting point
Fifteen years of applications, reviews, mentor sessions and investment decisions sat across a CRM, inboxes, meeting notes and shared drives. The answers were all in there somewhere. Finding them took someone who remembered where to look, and most days nobody had the time.
02 What we built
One AI teammate that knows the whole record.
Applications
A first read on every application
Each new application gets a summary, a scorecard and research on the company within the hour. The team spends its review time on the strongest companies, and ERABot suggests which ones deserve a first interview.
Mentors
Memory
Answers from the firm’s own history
Ask about any past company, meeting or decision in plain English. ERABot answers from the CRM, meeting notes, email and documents, so nobody has to dig.
Always on
Built into the tools the team already uses
No new app to learn. ERABot works inside ERA’s own accounts and the tools the team already uses, and runs around the clock.
03 The result
Part of how the firm works.
ERA’s managing partner introduced ERABot on stage at the firm’s Summer 2026 Demo Day as “our AI teammate.”
“We are already seeing amazing results, cutting down our workflow times substantially.”
