Talking point: McGill University classmates Max Brodeur-Urbas and Rahul Behal founded Gumloop, formerly known as AgentHub, in 2023. The company uses AI to automate tasks like processing email invoices, reaching out to potential job candidates on LinkedIn and researching competitors’ advertising strategies without requiring the user to code. The fundraise comes just six months after Gumloop’s US$3.1 million seed round in July. The company aims to grow to a US$1 billion valuation and a team of 10 employees.
