Tanka, an AI-powered platform designed to serve as an AI cofounder for startups, today announced its approach to fundraising and team management. Built on EverMemOS, an AI-native and memory-native operating system, Tanka AI Cofounder provides end-to-end support for startup operations through context-aware execution and persistent organizational memory.
Startup founders manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously—securing funding, building products, and managing teams. Traditional tools lack persistent memory—investor feedback gets buried in emails, team decisions disappear in chat threads, and context is lost when employees leave. This fragmentation creates inefficiencies that slow down operations and hinder growth. As Tanka CEO Kisson Lin, a serial entrepreneur who previously held strategic roles at Meta and TikTok, explains, "Startups bleed speed when they lose context. Tanka is your memory, your action engine, and your AI-native co-founder rolled into one."
Unlike generic AI assistants, the Tanka AI Cofounder is vertically focused on founders and startup teams. The platform integrates with Slack, WhatsApp, Gmail, Outlook, Notion, Telegram, and other business tools, converting fragmented messages, documents, and decisions into structured, persistent memory through what the company calls a MemoryGraph. This long-term memory architecture enables the platform to store and retrieve every chat, email, document, and decision as searchable knowledge that compounds over time. By centralizing business knowledge and communications in one place, the Tanka AI Cofounder reduces context switching and app fatigue that typically plague startup teams.
The Tanka AI Cofounder's Fundraising Agent provides end-to-end fundraising support, including pitch deck generation, analysis, optimization, and execution. When founders create investor presentations, the agent references prior memos, chat history, and internal discussions to generate decks, allowing rapid iteration while maintaining narrative consistency. The system eliminates the tedious process of reconstructing context from scattered sources, enabling founders to focus on refining their messaging rather than searching for information.
The Tanka AI Cofounder's fundraising capabilities include direct access to capital networks. Backed by Shanda Group, which operates family office GRAB Venture and has invested in approximately one hundred venture capital firms, the platform connects founders with investors through warm introductions. The network includes over ninety venture capital firms, providing founders with pathways that improve conversion rates compared to cold outreach. The Fundraising Agent tracks every investor conversation, captures feedback, and suggests optimal follow-up timing, ensuring no relationship falls dormant due to oversight or scheduling conflicts.
Team management features address one of the most persistent startup challenges: preserving institutional knowledge as organizations scale. The Tanka AI Cofounder's Memory Transfer feature enables companies to transfer role-specific knowledge between teammates during transitions, easing onboarding processes. Based on a new hire's role and the memory of their predecessor, the platform automatically generates personalized onboarding materials that compress weeks of learning into days. This living, transferable memory ensures that insights survive personnel changes rather than evaporating with employee turnover.
The Smart AI Assistant leverages complete company history to deliver context-aware responses across all communication channels. Through AI Smart Replies, users can instantly draft personalized messages for emails, Slack, WhatsApp, and Telegram that reflect accumulated organizational knowledge. Search with Memory enables comprehensive queries across all integrated platforms, surfacing specific information and summaries that would otherwise remain buried in disconnected systems. The assistant continuously learns from team patterns, proactively suggesting actions without constant manual direction.
The Tanka AI Cofounder's technical performance includes a Locomo score of 92.3 percent, the highest reported to date on this emerging benchmark for long-context memory systems. This performance stems from EverMemOS's Dynamic and Static Memory Architecture, inspired by neuroscience, which mirrors human memory by balancing instant recall with deep, structured long-term knowledge. As Bessemer Venture Partners noted in their State of AI report, memory and context have become the new moats for AI applications.
For security, the Tanka AI Cofounder maintains SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, implements end-to-end encryption, and enforces strict access controls for business information protection.
For startup founders facing the challenges of securing capital and building high-performing teams, the Tanka AI Cofounder offers a solution where every interaction compounds organizational intelligence over time. Learn more at https://www.tanka.ai/.
