Agenda Hero, a rising force in productivity technology, has announced a successful $5.6 million funding round led by Upfront Ventures, with participation from Precursor Ventures and early backer K9 Ventures. This significant capital infusion signals strong investor confidence in Agenda Hero’s mission to eliminate the drudgery of manual calendar entry and revolutionize time management for individuals, families, and organizations worldwide.
With this new funding, Agenda Hero is poised to accelerate the development and rollout of its suite of AI-powered solutions. Among these innovations are Magic Chat—a conversational AI tool that instantly converts messy notes, flyers, and PDFs into structured calendar events—and Magic Schedules, which enables the creation and sharing of interactive, dynamically updating schedules that sync seamlessly with all major calendar platforms. The company’s technology addresses a common frustration: the endless cycle of retyping and reorganizing schedules, which wastes countless hours every year.
The funding will enable Agenda Hero to expand its AI product innovation, deepen integrations with popular calendar services such as Google, Apple, and Outlook, and drive adoption among a growing user base. Currently, tens of thousands of early adopters—including parents, educators, small businesses, and national organizations—have already embraced the platform’s ability to automate scheduling and free up valuable time.
Agenda Hero’s commitment to accessibility is reflected in its pricing model, with premium plans beginning at $30 per year and core features of Agenda Hero Magic available for free.
How the funding will be used: As the company scales, this strategic investment will help fuel continued growth, enhance user experience, and make the dream of seamless, intelligent scheduling a reality for people everywhere.
