Slick sales messages don’t hit, they’ve been on the other side. Lead magnets? Considered bait – no dice.

The true value-add is this: Understanding what it’s like in the trenches. Having the scars and war stories to prove it. The lived experience that that old Silicon Valley trope is true: Execution is everything.

We understand. Ideas (unvalidated ones) by themselves are not the most important—we easily review 50 great business ideas monthly and ‘pass’ on the majority. The founders behind the idea are what matters.

That said – and I’m exposing myself here:

Some ideas, the uncommon amongst the uncommon, excite me beyond reason or rationale. They are those that make too much sense. Stupid sense.

When we discover one such idea I add it to a private note, secretly hoping we get to build it some day.

So in our quest to find stellar founders to partner with, we’re throwing these at the wall hoping one sticks. That one ambitious, driven founder feels a spark of excitement, just like me, in one of these ideas and reaches out. That spark is all we need. The rest will sort itself out.

Because we desperately want to build these businesses, or be proven wrong about them. All it takes is the right founder that can match our excitement and take the plunge with us.

To execute together.

We know… you’re just here for the ideas, not some quasi-romantic founder lovestory. So here it goes:

The Ideas

B1-LeadFlow

Sales teams often miss key engagement opportunities due to manual and scattered outreach and follow-up processes. LeadFlow addresses the friction sales teams face in juggling multiple platforms for lead generation, qualification, and engagement, offering a seamless, automated solution that consolidates all interactions into one streamlined workflow.

B2-FortAI

AI systems are increasingly vulnerable to adversarial attacks and data tampering, jeopardizing the integrity of businesses relying on machine learning. FortAI leverages advanced AI technology to detect and mitigate threats to AI models in data privacy & integrity and model security, in real-time.

B3-RegulAI

AI developers face growing regulatory challenges around data privacy, security, and ethics. RegulAI automates real-time compliance checks, enabling developers to stay compliant and innovate faster without legal risks or delays.

B4-StaffStory

SMEs often underutilise social selling and employee branding as part of their customer and talent acquisition strategy. StaffStory helps them strategise, create, and distribute personalised content through employee channels – at scale.

B5-ScaleOps

Fast-growing companies often face bottlenecks in connecting internal tools due to resource constraints and limited ‘out-of-the-box’ integrations. ScaleOps uses NLP to empower non-technical teams to build and automate custom tools, accelerating key workflows and enabling rapid scaling.

B6-RevSync

Revenue operations teams waste time on repetitive tasks like pipeline updates and forecasting, leading to inefficient processes. RevSync automates these tasks, providing real-time insights to improve forecasting accuracy and initiatives that help teams hit revenue targets.

B7-FlexCDP

Traditional CDPs struggle to handle vast, complex datasets across multiple systems, at scale. FlexCDP offers a composable, AI-powered, self-learning customer data platform that integrates seamlessly with existing customer data sources, providing real-time insights, predictive analytics, and personalised customer experiences.

B8-Workisely

Knowledge workers often face productivity challenges due to lack of integration between tools for content creation and management. Workisely integrates these tools into a unified platform, streamlining workflows and automating routine tasks to improve efficiency.
