AuraChat.AI Welcomes Min Yi Shih to Its Advisory Board

At AuraChat.AI, technological innovation moves at the pace of strategic leadership. Today, we are proud to announce the appointment of Min Yi Shih to our Advisory Board — a respected leader in startup acceleration and a key figure in UCLA Anderson’s innovation community. His arrival represents more than just a partnership; it’s a strategic endorsement that propels the company into its next stage of growth.

Why This Appointment Matters

In a market crowded with early-stage AI startups, investors are asking the hard questions:

• Who is already generating real revenue?

• Can this team scale — or are they just building hype?

• Where is the true differentiation in AI-powered sales platforms?

• Who is backing this project — and why?

Min Yi Shih’s decision to join AuraChat.AI as an advisor is a direct answer to those questions. His endorsement signals deep confidence in the founding team — Enrique Partida, Edith Contla, and David Jafri — and serves as a powerful vote of confidence to the investment community.

Why Advisory Backing Is Key for Raising Capital

According to recent data, 72% of venture capital firms cite the strength of the founding team as their number-one investment criterion at the seed stage. Strategic advisors like Min Yi bring more than validation — they offer pattern recognition, access to high-level networks, and hands-on operational mentorship. Their presence reduces perceived risk and reinforces business viability.

For Min Yi, it was the team’s coachability, focus, and energy that won her over. “They don’t just listen — they execute,”  he emphasized.

AuraChat.AI: More Than a Pitch — A Team That Executes

While many AI startups are still building MVPs, AuraChat.AI is already operating with active clients across North America. Our award-winning data platform for competitive intelligence and sales automation, paired with our omnichannel AI sales agents, delivers human-quality conversational experiences across phone calls, messaging, and social platforms in over 50 languages. The solution has already been validated across industries like automotive, real estate, and retail — proving that when advanced data intelligence meets AI-powered engagement, businesses don’t just automate… they close.

Unlike companies with shiny demos but no traction, AuraChat.AI demonstrates:

• Real integration with CRMs and commercial tools

• Scalable traction in key verticals

• Growth with operational efficiency and a clear vision

A Post-Revenue Startup Ready to Scale

AuraChat.AI’s founding team brings together deep experience in digital marketing, applied AI, strategic operations, and growth hacking. Their connection with UCLA’s Price Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation strengthens both their credibility and global access to capital and innovation networks.

Min Yi joins to support fundraising strategy, international expansion, and operational structuring. His role is essential in this next chapter — not to experiment, but to scale what’s already working.

The Future of Human-AI Interaction Is Already Here

AuraChat.AI’s vision is clear: to build the future of brand-customer interaction through conversational AI that understands, connects, and sells — and that future is already in motion.

Welcome, Min Yi Shih. Your arrival reinforces what we’ve always believed: success is built by teams who execute — not just those with good ideas.
