START pod: Gohar Tamrazyan, CEO & Co-Founder, Pavoot - "AI Event Manager for Customer Events"

Relationships drive revenue.That's why more companies are investing in dinners, customer events, founder meetups, and community gatherings.But here's what happens after the event:You sourced the attendeesYou sent the invitesYou hosted the eventThen everyone goes homeNow you're digging through Slack messages, WhatsApp chats, notes apps, spreadsheets, and email threads trying to remember:Who showed up.Who you talked to.What was discussed.Who deserves a follow-up.Most of that context never makes it back into the business.The event created value.The workflow lost it.Pavoot is an AI event manager built for companies that run customer eventsIt helps teams find the right attendees and draft personalized invitationsIt shows who's in the room and why they're relevantIt lets teammates capture notes around each attendee and share context with each other in real timeAnd afterward, those conversations can flow back into the CRM instead of disappearing into someone's phone.The event was never the hard part.Keeping what it created is.Because relationships don't create value when they're madeThey create value when they're remembered🎙️ Gohar Tamrazyan, CEO & Co-Founder Pavoot (YC P26) on Fondo START00:22 Ana's journey from Brazil to AI research at ETH Zürich01:06 Gohar's chess background and Swiss national team experience01:40 Building a media management tool and discovering a larger problem02:45 Why companies are investing more heavily in in-person events03:14 The real goal behind customer events: relationships and outcomes04:05 Using AI to source attendees and build the right room04:21 Event recommendations based on attendee interests04:38 The challenge of remembering conversations after events05:00 Why teams still rely on Slack, WhatsApp, notes, and voice recordings05:30 Capturing attendee context and team notes in one place06:17 Launching Pavoot's Luma integration08:22 Which companies benefit most from AI-powered event managementlearn more at pavoot.com
