Profile bio
About Ansel Duff
Hi, I'm Ansel 👋 I work in PE at Wafra and run Fordi, a software platform that collects, analyzes, and delivers business feedback in real time and without a survey.I started Fordi to avoid expensive problems that I saw and experienced on prior teams. The reality is that many human capital businesses grossly mishandle feedback. Since no leader can run a business on a data point they receive once / year, I founded Fordi with 2 ambitious goals:1.) Graduate from HR feedback for performance reviews -> any kind of input related to your job. This is a fundamental step change from "take my survey now for your reviews" to "help me help you (do your job more easily)", and 2.) Move from a clunky Q&A-based survey (initiated by an HR department) to survey-less feedback that's initiated by an employee and happens in the communication apps that they already use. No survey to fill out, no new app to download, no password to remember, etc.Based in NYC 🍎 . I love to cook and read about cars I can't afford. If you have a great recipe, hit that DM 😁.

Founder
Fordi helps organizations process feedback 100x faster than surveys. Instead of waiting for an annual HR survey, our AI Feedback Bot processes all kinds of operating input in seconds, right from the communication apps that you already use. During my time as an investor in human capital businesses, I saw countless examples of expensive problems that could have been avoided with early information. I started Fordi to fix this problem by creating a self-service business feedback system that's initiated by an employee and works in real time.Fordi is a survey-less feedback platform that collects business input in a single message in the apps you already use (like a Slack, email, or text message). Our AI automations then content moderate, route to the appropriate manager, open up a ticket, and run analytics, all in under 5 seconds.Fordi is made for doing your job every day, not conducting a performance review. 100x faster and 5x less expensive than surveys.👋 fordi.io | hello@fordi.io
