<aside> <img src="/icons/key-antique_yellow.svg" alt="/icons/key-antique_yellow.svg" width="40px" /> Curated dealflow from top technical founders building next-gen AI products.

Welcome to my curated portfolio of early-stage AI startups.

This dealbook features pre-Seed to Seed stage startups led by highly technical founding teams with differentiated insights.

I’m Dylan Miao, founder of Relia - sales GPT for founders. I joined a16z Talent Network and founded a startup club in UIUC.

Through this network, I help early-stage founders with fundraising strategy and connect them with investors who can help them grow.

The founders here are ex-Meta, xAI, UIUC/Princeton, YC/Speedrun pipeline, and more.

I work closely with each team on GTM, product, and fundraising, ensuring a deep understanding before introducing them to investors.
