Background
The MainStreet Fund is a seed-stage venture fund led by a powerful network of professional and collegiate athletes, investing in early-stage startups and involving athlete investors from top leagues and conferences including the NBA, NFL, WNBA, SEC, ACC, and Big Ten.
The Challenge
The MainStreet Fund sought a simple AI solution to accelerate lead conversion on its platform. However, as co-founder Ike Okereke explored the potential of Voxify’s tools, it became clear that a more ambitious and scalable approach was needed.

Enhance deal flow evaluation
Improve internal workflows
Support scalable operations across venture investments
Implementation
Initial discussions focused on lead conversion tools
Post-demo, Voxify began building hyper-functional, enterprise-grade AI systems tailored to venture capital use cases
Ongoing collaboration focuses on integrating AI into The MainStreet Fund’s core investment processes
