AI startup Sol raises $4M from General Catalyst, Kunal Shah and others

Artificial intelligence (AI) startup Sol, founded by former executives of Cred, has raised $4 million in funding from General Catalyst, Nexus Venture Partners, DeVC, Peercheque and Kunal Shah. Sol will primarily use this funding for R&D and go to market initiatives. Founded in August 2025 by Anish Karan, Prateek Srivastava and Ranjith Nair, Sol primarily automates the whole process of e-mail management where the work can include researching, creating documents, building slides, scheduling time and drafting replies. The startup further claimed that its tech platform is not limited to drafting replies as once it identifies a commitment and its context, it can create the supporting work the commitment calls for: documents, presentations, research and meeting coordination. The product is designed for the difference between an unanswered email and a finished outcome, it noted. Though, it added that the user retains the final approval. “People whose work runs through email often have to repeat themselves: first in email, then again when they ask an AI tool to act. There’s no good reason for that. AI should learn how to use the right tools and skills behind the scenes, so people can focus on the work they’re uniquely good at while Sol does the heavy lifting and gives them a simple way to approve or edit the work,” said Sol CEO Anish Karan. Sol said its tech platform is designed for people whose work runs through high volumes of email, including founders, executives and professionals in sales, marketing, consulting, recruiting, and agencies. The company says it operates in its own computer environment where the user can use a browser and draws on a growing library of more than 100 specialist skills. This is initially available through selective access and a waitlist with plans to extend general access soon.
