We’re excited to announce our $3.3M seed round of Syncly - an AI customer feedback analysis platform for the Customer Experience / Support and the Product team. The round is led by SoftBank Ventures with a participation of Y Combinator, 500 Global, Rebel Fund, Fast Ventures, and John S. Kim, Co-Founder & CEO at Sendbird. Today, dealing with the ever-evolving nature of products presents significant challenges in keeping the pulse on customers. Especially for companies that process thousands of pieces of customer feedback and support tickets every month, it becomes impossible to derive customer insight in real time. We built the last AI company, SUALAB, all the way to a successful exit in 2019, which made us develop two strong convictions: 1. AI can change the way people work 2. A great product comes from the voice of customers. Our convictions led to building Syncly to help CX teams transform customer feedback into actionable insight in real-time. We know the next generation of customer feedback insight should be richer and more reliable. We help teams understand the top frictions or requirements from customers quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily, or in real-time. We recognize nuances and bring different colors to customer feedback, presenting it in a uniform format regardless of the data source (i.e., Intercom, Slack, Zendesk, Front, Gong.io, and public sources). Our mission is to help companies become genuinely customer-centric teams, and we’re excited to help companies achieve that mission through Syncly. To learn more about why we decided to raise our Seed, and why we are building Syncly, read the blogpost (link in comments) written by our Co-Founder & CEO Joseph D. Lee.

Congratulations to Syncly (YC W23) for the Seed Round. Why 500 Korea Invested - 1️⃣ Timing. The future of AI and Data Analytics will be more “augmentation” rather than “automation”. Having in-depth visibility into customer insights has never been this crucial. Just imagine, not being able to understand why your service went viral or why suddenly churn rate escalated where everything is more online. 2️⃣ Team. Yes they are 2X founders with a proven track record building and exiting B2B solutions but they are also one of the most coachable and nimble founders we've come across who are customer-centric and curiosity-driven. Team had undergone 20 micro pivots in the course of weeks to find initial PMF. 3️⃣ Product. The team is essentially building a product that is solving Hair-On-Fire problem for startups. Understand revenue impact to customer issues. Track and prioritize issues based on customer segments. __ Syncly (YC W23) is an AI tool that helps CX teams transform customer feedback into actionable insight at scale. Syncly's co-founders are serial enterpreneur in AI world, and build a robust AI customer feedback analysis solution that understands your criteria to auto-categorize all feedback from different sources (i.e. Intercom, Slack, Zendesk, Gong, and public sources) so the customer experience & product team doesn’t have to. Syncly helps your team to get insights from customer feedback that used to take 10 hours to in a minute. Joseph D. Lee, Kwanwoo Yoon, Alex J. Hong 👏👏

AI’s Increasing Impact on the SaaS Ecosystem 🌟 It’s fascinating to see how AI is becoming more and more evident in our everyday work life, significantly impacting our SaaS ecosystem and the operations of our portfolio companies. Last week, for example, Johan Åberg, Chief Product Officer & co-founder at Lynes, delivered an insightful presentation at an event at 2CLOUDS, where he talked about AI, emerging trends, and how lynes uses AI in their app daily. We look forward to witnessing how AI will continue to reshape and enhance opportunities in the SaaS industry in the coming years. Have you observed any new trends?
