What is Parley
Parley is an AI agent intake layer for private capital that connects founders and investors without traditional introductions. It replaces cold outreach with structured dealflow powered by investor-owned AI agents. Founders submit their startup to investor-specific agents that evaluate fit, ask follow-up questions, and surface real interest. Investors get pre-qualified meetings and zero unqualified inbound.

- Select & send – Browse investors by thesis, stage, and sector. Send your blurb.

- Conversation – Engage in async, multi-turn qualification with real questions and answers.
- Book a call – On a match, pick a slot from the investor's calendar.
