VC Mike Ghaffary is looking for the job-creating AI startup that doesn’t yet exist


Ghaffary is looking to fund startups using AI to create high-paying jobs, rather than replace them.

AI agents are poised to displace customer service reps, sales associates, executive assistants, IT admins, junior developers, journalists. On Friday, Ghaffary announced exclusively to TechCrunch that he left Canvas to join Burst Capital, a VC firm founded in 2017 by a group of former Yelp execs. He’d like to see an affordable plan that would offer virtual or otherwise AI-enhanced training, “almost like flight simulation” but for the “millions of people” at risk of being left behind.
