TORONTO – August 17, 2021 – kama.ai is proud to announce the final closing of its seed B3 investment round on July 30th, 2021. Subscriptions were primarily taken up by kama.ai’s existing shareholder group but also included a number of new investors, including 2 First Nations, Chapleau Cree First Nation and Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg (Pic Mobert) First Nation.

“We were very pleased to see the ongoing support of our initial investor group, and we were delighted to have support from two First Nation economic development funds,” said Brian Ritchie, founder and CEO of kama.ai and member of Chapleau Cree First Nation.

“It is important that we diversify our investments and that we branch out of traditional resource-based industries. Our people have and need connections to the past, but we also need pathways to the future,” said Marlene Sabourin, President and Board Chair of Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg First Nation’s economic development corporation White Lake Limited Partnership. “We are pleased to be able to support kama.ai’s sustainable and ethical emotional intelligence platform.”

The funds from this investment round will go toward the expansion of the kama DEI platform to achieve higher emotional intelligence, including personality traits, enhanced inference, and natural language generation.
