Welcome to my curated dealbook of pre-Seed to Seed stage AI startups, led by deeply technical founding teams across AI infra, agents, and applied B2B software.

I’m Dylan Miao, co-founder of Relia (revenue reliability platform for B2B sales teams), UIUC alum, and a member of the a16z Talent Network and South Park Commons.

Through my work as both an operator and GTM-focused founder, I’ve built long-term relationships with technical founders emerging from top CS/AI pipelines (Princeton, Stanford, UIUC, YC).

This dealbook reflects teams I know well—not cold inbound—and where I have high conviction on founder quality and long-term potential.

💡 If You’re a VC

If any of these teams are relevant to your focus:

• I’m happy to make direct introductions.
• Decks, product demos, and traction details are available upon request.
• I work closely with founders early, so context is usually richer than what’s in the deck.

I don’t charge founders or investors for intros. I care about backing exceptional technical founders early and building long-term trust on both sides.
