Why Delphi?

At Delphi, we are redefining how knowledge is shared by creating a new medium for human communication: interactive digital minds that people can talk to, learn from, and be guided by.

The internet gave us static profiles and endless feeds. Delphi is something different: a living, interactive layer of identity. It carries your voice, perspective, and judgment into every conversation—so people don’t just read about you, they experience how you think.

Our mission is bold:

  • Make human wisdom abundant, personalized, and discoverable.

  • Preserve legacies, unlock opportunities, and scale brilliance across generations.

  • Delphi becomes everyone's living profile to show what you know.

We are trusted and loved by thousands of the world’s most brilliant minds from Simon Sinek to Arnold Schwarzenegger (interact with all of them here). We have tripled revenue, users, and Delphi interactions in the past 6 months - all organically through word of mouth. We plan to accelerate even further from here.

Delphi’s investors include Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund, Abstract Ventures, Michael Ovitz, Gokul Rajaram, Olivia Wilde, and dozens of founders from Lyft, Zoom, Doordash, and many more. Our team includes founders with successful exits and builders from Apple, Spotify, Substack and more.
