About Vela
Summary
Vela builds an AI scheduling assistant for B2B professional services teams that run high-volume, multi-party meeting coordination. It connects to a team's system of record and handles outreach, negotiation, rescheduling, and confirmation across email, SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, Teams, and phone, replacing the manual calling, texting, and emailing that coordinators currently do across spreadsheets. The product is built around human scheduling nuance: who to prioritize, how hard to push, and which relationship dynamics to navigate.

Go-to-market

AI Agents For Complex Scheduling Coordination
We are building Vela, the AI scheduling assistant for the most complex interactions. Everyone assumes scheduling is a calendaring problem. It's not. It's a human nuance problem: knowing who to prioritize, how hard to push, and which dynamics to navigate. Vela understands these nuances, and every interaction deepens that understanding. Instead of manually calling, texting, and emailing hundreds of candidates across spreadsheets, today teams connect their system of record to Vela and it handles outreach, scheduling, and confirmation automatically with the nuances of industries and teams built in. Gobhanu and Saatvik are brothers who scaled a microfinance bank to 77 countries as kids. We previously built at AWS ML + SuperCompute and BCG AI.
