Cluely Secures $15M to Expand AI Cheating Tools - Cluely, a controversial startup helping users cheat on interviews, exams, and calls, has raised $15 million in Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz. Co-founded by Roy Lee and Neel Shanmugam, the company drew notice with its AI-powered tool, developed after both founders were suspended from Columbia University.
With a post-money valuation of $120 million, Cluely garners attention through CEO Lee's provocative social media and controversial marketing. Despite its notoriety, the startup claims profitability.
