About Barise
We're on a mission to transform how startups and investors connect, using AI to create meaningful relationships that drive success.
Our Story
Barise was born from a simple realization: the startup ecosystem lacks efficiency in making the right connections. Founders spend countless hours pitching to the wrong investors, while investors struggle to identify startups with real potential.
Our founder, Karthik, a full-stack developer driven by innovation, and co-founder Vishal, an AI and cybersecurity expert, set out to change this. We saw firsthand how fragmented and inefficient the current networking landscape is and asked ourselves: What if AI could intelligently match founders with the right investors before opportunities are missed?
That question led to Barise—a platform designed to leverage AI-driven matchmaking and data intelligence to connect the right people at the right time.
We are currently in the prototype stage and have already seen strong validation for our model. Now, we are looking to expand Barise with the help of strategic investors who share our vision of building the future of startup networking.
