Comment: While this is borderline notable, I do not see it passing a deletion discussion, especially with the high standards set by WP:NCORP. Many of these references will be seen as routine announcements or passing mentions. I did a quick search on the founder and he is "potentially" notable based on a book reference and a few others I found. CNMall41 (talk) 19:51, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

People.ai is a privately held American business intelligence software company headquartered in San Francisco, CA.[1][2][3][4]
Company history edit
The company was founded in 2016 by the Ukraine-born entrepreneur Oleg Rogynskyy and incubated at Y Combinator.[5] In 2019, the Forbes' list of Most Promising Artificial Intelligence (AI) Companies in the US profiled People.ai at #18:[4] and described its software which integrates into Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems like Salesforce and automatically inputs relevant data from email, calendars, chats etc, after which it guides salespeople using AI. People.ai reached a $1.1B valuation in 2021[6]. In 2023, the CRN magazine profiled People.ai as #10 on the list of "hottest AI startups of 2023,"[7] writing that People.ai's "enterprise revenue intelligence platform ensures organizations can speed up complex sales cycles by engaging the right people in the right accounts." The company employs over 250 people in offices in Kyiv, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, Atlanta and New York.[8]
Reaction to Russian invasion of Ukraine edit
The company's significant ties to Ukraine made it vulnerable to risks associated with the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. British and American media described several corporate risk management strategies developed by People.ai in the months before the invasion, such as encouraging Ukrainian employees to temporarily relocate abroad.[9][10] During the invasion, some employees of People.ai that remained in or returned to Ukraine helped testing defense technologies for the Ukrainian military.
