Tara AI is a platform designed to help modern software teams manage and deliver across their product development lifecycle.[1][2]

Founded by Iba Masood and Syed Ahmed, Tara AI is based in San Jose, California.[3] It was originally Gradberry, a recruiting platform that connected technical workers to employers, and was part of Y Combinator Winter 2015 class.[4] In 2016, the company evolved into Tara AI, a product management platform that uses machine learning to predict the technical tasks, engineering resources and timelines needed for new software projects.

Tara AI has raised $13 million in investment from a number of notable venture capital firms and angel investors including Aspect Ventures, Y Combinator, Slack Fund, Jaan Tallinn of Skype and Di-Ann Eisnor of Waze.[5]

In October 2017, Tara AI won a $500,000 prize at the fourth annual 43North business plan competition.[6]
