Bujo

Executive Summary

Bujo is a YC Spring 2026 (X26) seed-stage startup building AI voice and chat agents for Fortune 500 customer support — a real, large, and fast-growing market. The founder, Nalin Gupta, is a credentialed 2x YC operator with a prior exit (Auro Robotics, acquired by Ridecell), and his claim of "multiple 6-figures in revenue, profitable" is plausible but entirely self-reported with no named customers or third-party corroboration. The single biggest risk is not the market or the founder — it's the competitive landscape: Bujo is going head-to-head with Sierra AI ($635M raised, $10B valuation, same exact positioning), Intercom Fin (tracking to $100M ARR), Salesforce Agentforce, and Cognigy, all of which are 100x to 500x better capitalized and already entrenched in the same F500 verticals Bujo is targeting. At $500K raised with a sub-10-person team, Bujo needs a defensible technical wedge and a clear beachhead niche before its capital runs out.
