After selling Anchor to Spotify, co-founders reunite to build AI educational startup Oboe


The co-founders who sold their last startup to Spotify are working on a new project: an AI-powered educational startup called Oboe backed by a $4 million

That is, Oboe intends to produce a user-friendly interface that helps people accomplish the task at hand — in this case, expanding their knowledge via a combination of AI technology, audio, and video. In part, Oboe will rely on third-party foundational AI models, but the team is also undertaking a “significant” amount of work in-house to build its data architecture and optimize the curriculum on a per-user basis, Zicherman says. The round also includes investment from Haystack, Factorial Capital, Homebrew, Offline Ventures, Scott Belsky, Kayvon Beykpour, Nikita Bier, Tim Ferriss, and Matt Lieber.
