Cluely Raises $15 Million in Series A Funding

Cluely, a controversial startup that offers assistance to users in “cheating” on job interviews, exams, and sales calls, has announced a successful $15 million Series A funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz. The news was shared in a video posted on X, showcasing the company’s growth and potential in the market.

While the exact post-money valuation of Cluely remains undisclosed, industry insiders estimate it to be around $120 million. The company’s CEO, Roy Lee, has yet to comment on these figures, keeping the financial details of the deal under wraps.

This latest funding round follows a $5.3 million seed funding raised by Cluely just two months prior, demonstrating strong investor interest in the startup’s innovative solutions. Co-founded by Roy Lee and Neel Shanmugam, who gained notoriety for developing an AI-powered tool to assist engineers in technical interviews, Cluely has quickly made a name for itself in the industry.

Despite facing controversy and suspension from Columbia University for their prior project, Lee and Shanmugam have steered Cluely towards profitability, as evidenced by Lee’s social media updates and podcast appearances. The startup’s success can be attributed to its disruptive approach and cutting-edge technology.

Lee’s bold social media presence and attention-grabbing videos have helped raise awareness for Cluely, with one video in particular showcasing Lee using AI to deceive a woman during a date. While polarizing, these marketing tactics have effectively captured the market’s attention and solidified Cluely’s brand image.

Recently, Cluely faced a setback when a planned after-party following Y Combinator’s AI Startup School was shut down by the police due to overcrowding. Despite the hiccup, Lee remains optimistic about the company’s future, with plans to host future events and continue expanding Cluely’s reach.
