TL;DR: The first scheduling agent that handles the messy reality of coordination - negotiating times, coordinating interviews, prioritizing VIPs, and managing your calendar exactly like a human EA wherever you communicate (email, messages, phone calls, etc).
They are brothers who have been building together for years. Their last startup SWIFTmfi impacted millions across 77 countries! Together they combine experience from AWS ML & Supercompute, Perplexity, BCG AI, E&Y, Wharton (Huntsman), CMU, Georgia Tech, & UChicago - Booth.
🧩 The Problem
Most scheduling tools assume the world is perfect. They expect rigid time slots and instant replies. But that is not how real business happens. Real business is "Let's do early next week." Real business is a VIP client needing a slot over an internal catch-up. Real business is someone ghosting you for a week. Currently, we have three bad options:
The Manual Way: Personal but a massive time-sink that distracts from deep work.
The "Calendly" Way: Efficient but impersonal. It signals "my time is more important than yours" and breaks the moment you have complex constraints.
The Human EA: Great, but costs $80k/year and isn't available 24/7.
💡 The Solution
How it works:
The "Just CC" Workflow: Write your message naturally: "Looping in Vela to find a time for us next week."Vela parses the conversation, checks your calendar, and reaches out to the other person directly to negotiate a slot.
It Knows What’s Important To You: Vela understands social hierarchy. It knows to prioritize a client over a coffee chat without you setting specific rules.
It Handles Ambiguity: You don't need to give it rigid parameters. Tell Vela "Friday evenings are free," and it understands exactly what that means.
🔧 Traction & Story
They built Vela because they saw high-performing teams drowning in admin work. Today, Vela is already used by the most demanding schedulers in the world - from Enterprise Recruiters scheduling thousands of multi-party interviews a week to Startup CEOs who need white-glove coordination at scale.
If you are or know any high-volume schedulers with complicated needs (recruiting/staffing firms, sales teams, law firms, founders etc.), we’d love to hear from you and for you to try Vela. Email the founders here.
