Shipping got cheap.Selling didn’t.

AI takes you from concept to product in days. The climb to paying customers is the part you can’t build, install, or prompt.

Who we back

Your context window took ten years to fill.

You’ve seen an inflection point, and developed an insight. You’ve lived the pain, and built something that couldn’t exist before the model.

What we back What gets mistaken for it

Ten years in the trade, and you came back to dismantle the factory floor.

Not a newcomer trying to out-code the incumbents.

You’ve earned a buyer’s trust the slow way before.

Not betting that tokens can buy it.

Pull the AI out and the company stops existing.

Not a feature bolted onto something that already worked.

The work you’re replacing was being done by people.

Not a cheaper version of software they already own.

Customer 1,000 makes the product better for customer 1.

Not a moat you’ll work out by Series A.

A small team doing the work of a much bigger one.

Not a Claude subscription and some outsourced devs.

How we help

You can’t one-shot your one shot.

Go-to-market is the distance between a working product and a business, and it’s the part you can’t build or prompt your way into. Here’s what we help with.

Build a unicorn. Make no mistakes. Don’t hallucinate.|

Positioning & pricing

So you’re not just another “AI for X”

Sharpened until the market can tell what you are and why you cost what you cost.

Your first ten customers

Who they are, and how you reach them

The part of go-to-market there’s no automation for. We’ve done it before.

A repeatable sales motion

One you can run next week

Not fifty AI agents DMing strangers “loved your recent post” and calling it sales.

Doors opened

Straight to the rooms that matter

Your buyers, your partners, your next-round investors.

Channels & relationships

Years of them, ready on day one

The kind that take years to build alone. You get them the week the money lands.

Next-round readiness

Raising again on your own terms

Set up so the next cheque is a choice, not a scramble.

The cheque is the easy part

They’ve surrounded us with a powerful group of supporters — people invested both emotionally and financially in the business, doing whatever they can to help us achieve what we set out to.

A few weeks after they invested, Maxine got on a plane to San Francisco with us and started opening her contact book to investors and AI providers — warm intros, straight away. You can tell a lot about a fund by how fast the people show up.

They’ve been side by side with us the whole way — in the weeds on how to turn our enterprise traction into a repeatable flywheel, and ready to write the next cheque the moment we needed it.

Everyone’s betting on the chip. We back the one on your shoulder.

First cheque up to A$500k, then the support for when it stops going to plan.
