Kevin Davis is the co-founder and CEO of Persona Studios, an AI startup that uses personas to automate long conversations and first calls. If a person does the same call over and over for 20-60 minutes for any reason, we automate it! 👋🏼 How would you explain your job to someone outside tech? I lead an AI startup to help automate repeat calls. 🧐 What's something about you or your job that would surprise us? I’m a 3x founder and sold my previous company after scaling nationwide in the US, gave up everything in the US to move to Southeast Asia, and also served the entire Kardashian family ice cream for my second startup. 🏆 What has been the biggest highlight of your career so far? Sold my first company for 8 digits. 💼 What advice would you give someone starting out in your industry? Solve a real problem with AI and battle test it. Once the magic has worn off, is your AI solution truly better than what’s out there? What KPIs are you tracking that your solution directly impacts using AI? 🎥 What's your favorite movie/TV show? Arcane, the Boys, and Last of Us 🍨 What's your go-to ice cream flavor? Cookies and cream – FYI. We've edited this interview for length and clarity.

🥺 Want to Do A Mock Interview With Iterative? We’ve been working with Persona Studios (Iterative W24) to make that possible. They ingested our videos, posts and internal documents to create a persona that acts and sounds like me. You can access it whenever and as many times as you want. How it Works 1. Go to This Link https://lnkd.in/g7UpFv94 2. Start Interview When you’re ready to start the interview, say “I’d like to apply for Iterative.” It will instantly run a mock interview with you, asking the type of questions (problem, market, solution, etc.) we would ask in an actual interview. The conversation will start in text, just follow the instructions. When it prompts you to switch to voice so we can get longer answers and hear your passion when describing your startup. 3. End of Interview When you’re finished, we'll reach out to you to see if you’re actually interested in applying to Iterative. We can use your answers as the basis for an application or not if you’d prefer to send a deck. Use Cases It’s open to anyone but I highly recommend it if.. 1. You’re interested in applying to Iterative and want to practice for our interview process. 2. You’re going to start talking to investors (even if it’s not Iterative) soon and want to practice. 3. You’re just curious about the kinds of questions investors ask startups. To be clear, if you’re applying to Iterative, doing a mock interview absolutely does not hurt your chances of being accepted. If anything, we think it’s a positive sign. You can do it as often and as many times as you’d like. Don’t worry. You should try it.

Every month, we receive nearly 500 applications for our residency in Singapore. We used to spend over 100 hours on initial screenings with a handful of them before moving them to the next stage. Now? ZERO. How? Our portfolio company, Persona Studios, has completely transformed and optimised our screening process with their platform that automates long conversations, with a specific agenda in mind, to arrive at recommendations that enrich the applications we receive. Using their Scalable Agenda Infrastructure (SAI), they customize structured conversations to gather data, debate, and challenge candidates who apply to us. As a result, we get an AI-generated screening report with sortable values (e.g., previous ventures, domain expertise, co-founder aspirations, visa requirements) for each applicant. The best part? It provides a more dynamic, low-stress environment for our applicants and we can now aim to have an initial call with every single applicant without needing to screen from a pile of static, text-based applications. The founders—Kevin Davis and Andrew McCrow—are making sure that Persona Studios isn't just for VCs. They have built similar personas for property management companies, recruiters, and will be launching in many other verticals—almost like Canva for Conversational AI. If your business is bogged down by high inbound volumes, I strongly recommend you let them handle it for you! Psst… they’re currently raising $3M 💰 Check out Persona Studios to raise your quality bar and save yourself time.
