08 Questions
Short answers.
What does AI-first actually mean for us?
The repetitive work in every function runs through agents your people supervise. Fundraising, investor updates, hiring, content, operations. Your team spends its time on the science, the customers and the decisions.
Which tools do you connect?
The ones you already use. Email, Slack, calendar, Google Drive or Microsoft 365, Notion, your CRM, your cap table, your spreadsheets. We build on Claude and connect it to each app with secure connectors your team controls.
Do we need engineers for this?
No. We set everything up with your team and train them to own it. Your engineers stay on the product.
Is our data safe?
Everything runs inside your accounts and your access controls. Nothing goes out without a human approving it. We sign an NDA before the scan starts.
What does it cost?
One fixed price for the scan and the build, shared on the scan call once we know your size. The room is a monthly membership. Both cost less than one senior hire.
Who gets into the room?
CEOs of venture-backed deeptech companies at Series A or B, by application. Energy, materials, bio, industry, hardware. Twelve seats per room, so everyone in it is worth learning from.
