News of the Day

Cluely, a provocative AI startup that helps users “cheat” on interviews, exams, and sales calls, has raised a $15 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, bringing its total funding to over $20 million and reportedly valuing the company at around $120 million. Co-founded by 21-year-old Roy Lee—who gained notoriety after being suspended from Columbia for creating an undetectable technical interview tool—Cluely has stirred controversy through bold social media stunts and viral videos, including one featuring an AI-assisted lie-filled date and another leading to a 2,000-person party shut down by police. Profitable and unapologetically brash, Cluely exemplifies a new wave of AI startups blending shock tactics with real traction, even as ethical questions loom.

Most car factories, like Ford or Tesla, reportedly build one car per minute. Isn't it time we do that for houses? BOXABL believes they have the potential to disrupt a massive and outdated trillion-dollar building construction market by bringing assembly line automation to the home industry. And they're not just dreaming big; they're delivering: (i) initial prototype order delivered to SpaceX in 2020, (ii) subsequent project order of 156 homes from the Department of Defense completed in 2021, (iii) now, after implementing what was learned from those prior orders, actively delivering to developers and consumers. Like other game-changing companies, you have a chance to invest in BOXABL’s offering at just $0.80/share. All BOXABL crowdfunding will close on June 24th.*
