BirdyChat provides a messaging app purpose-built for external professional communication, using professional email addresses as usernames so users need not share personal phone numbers. Founded in 2025 and based in Riga, the company has an eight-person team and a 50,000-person waitlist in Europe. Its approach leverages the EU’s Digital Markets Act to integrate with major platforms such as WhatsApp, enabling messaging from a work identity. AI productivity features are central to the product roadmap, and the new funding will be used to build a web app and add those AI capabilities. The founders say they aim to address diversity in hiring as the company scales. Founder Rolands Mesters previously built Nordigen, which was acquired by GoCardless in 2022, and he raised the current round without a pitch deck.
