Series is an AI-powered social networking platform tailored for college students, particularly student entrepreneurs. It facilitates warm, double opt-in introductions through AI "Friends" that operate in messaging apps like iMessage. The platform originated from The Founder Series Podcast, which featured interviews with Yale entrepreneurs and gained significant attention. Officially launched in 2025 after securing $3 million in pre-seed funding, Series requires a .edu email for access, fostering a trusted environment for genuine connections.
The core offering is an AI social network that uses personalized AI Friends to make introductions based on users' networks and mutual interests. This approach eliminates vanity metrics, focusing instead on meaningful connections. Users can interact with their AI Friend to share information about themselves and their networks, enhancing the networking experience. Series aims to build a large, warm network starting with college students, having already processed over 32,000 messages through its platform.
