Nyne, founded by a father-son duo, gives AI agents the human context they’re missing

Nyne, a startup founded by Michael and Emad Fanous, raised $5.3 million in seed funding to build an intelligence layer that gives AI agents richer human context. The company deploys millions of agents to analyze public digital footprints across social networks and apps like Instagram, Facebook, SoundCloud, and Strava, then applies machine learning to unify that data into a coherent profile of a person. The goal is to help consumer-facing companies using AI agents better understand existing and potential customers. Investors include Wischoff Ventures and South Park Commons, with angel participation from Gil Elbaz, co-founder of Applied Semantics and a pioneer of Google AdSense.
