#169 Mappa: Can Voice AI Find You a Job… or a Date?

Welcome to The Pitch, where startup founders raise millions and listeners can invest. I'm Josh Muccio. And I'm Lisa Muccio. And this is one of my favorite pitches of all time. What? Yeah. We've spoken to hundreds of founders, and there was just something special about the founder on today's episode, Sarah. The company is called MAPPA. They're raising a $1,600,000 seed round. MAPPA analyzes the sound of your voice, the pitch, the tone, the words you use. All of those communicate something about who you are as a human. MAPPA decodes all of that to help companies hire people that are a better culture fit. There's not many pitches where a founder checks every single box you're looking for, but it was such a good deal that we actually wrote the check before inviting her on the show. And we chose not to tell the investors because I wanted their honest reactions not knowing that we've already bet on this company. Mhmm. So I was so nervous going into it because I felt like like, what if there's something about this business that we totally overlooked, and it's actually a horrible company. And they're just gonna tear it apart, and then we're gonna publish it. And we're invested. I was not nervous at all. I think there's a lot of seasons where we have a really powerful female founder that I talk to on a call, and there's, like, an instant yes. Kavita from Nectar is one of them. Madeline from Gemist. As soon as I was on the call with Sarah, it was, like, a clear yes. So see how it plays out in the pitch room. Welcome to the pitch season 14 recorded in Napa. And I may be biased, but this is our best season yet. You say that every season. Well, it is. The pitch for MAPPA is coming up after this. Lisa and I, we're actually gonna be touring different cities, meeting listeners and LPs over the next few months. We'll be in SF in October, Austin and New York City in November because we're raising fun too. You can RSVP to join us at one of those meetups at pitch.show/events. It's true that some things change as we get older. But if you're a woman over 40 and you're dealing with insomnia, brain fog, moodiness, and weight gain, you don't have to accept it as just another part of aging.
