Curieous

Curieous is a Singapore-based technology company that has developed an AI-powered mobile application designed to help startup founders create engaging content for social media, particularly LinkedIn. Founded in 2023, the platform is tailored to assist founders in attracting customers, investors, and talent by transforming their authentic stories into viral-ready posts. The company is led by CEO and second-time founder Ruby Nguyễn, who has a background in education technology and media, including roles as COO at Vietcetera and Country General Manager for Elsa Vietnam.

The application functions by having founders speak about their startup for a few minutes. Curieous's proprietary AI, which has been fine-tuned on viral posts from iconic founders, then utilizes proven templates to generate content. This process is designed to save founders time on content creation and design, featuring one-click tools for brainstorming, design, and posting directly to LinkedIn. The AI employs engineered prompt chains for creative direction, storytelling, and editing, with outputs that adapt to specific goals like fundraising, sales, hiring, or influencing.

The business model is centered on its mobile application, which is available on the App Store. While the app is free to download, it's positioned as a tool for founders from prominent accelerators and firms like Y Combinator, TechStars, and Sequoia. The company was backed by Google's AI Accelerator. Curieous aims to help its users achieve significant online visibility, close business-to-business deals, hire top talent, and attract investors.
