Our Startups & AI Products
Every venture we build and operate, with its real status — from systems running in production today to R&D we are still shaping. AI-native infrastructure that replaces manual workflows, increases conversion, and opens new product categories.
We're building a portfolio of AI ventures — not selling hours
Each product below started as an internal system, proved itself on real operations, and then became a company or a standalone venture. If you invest in applied AI, partner with founders, or want to build the next one together — let's talk.
The ventures we are building
Companies solving problems unglamorous enough to have been left alone and large enough to be worth taking. Each one has its own page with the problem, the product, and the model.
Neuron Expert
Home-service businesses live and die by the phone, and the person best placed to answer it is on a roof or under a sink. Neuron answers instead — and charges only when a job is completed.
- →A business number answered by an AI receptionist around the clock
- →The call ends as a booked job, not a message to call back
- →A CRM for jobs, technicians, and routes behind it
- →Local service pages that bring in the next call
- Pricing
- Per completed job — first ones free
- Setup
- Live in an afternoon
- Languages
- English · Spanish · Russian
Friends.energy
The Russian-speaking diaspora in the US organises itself in scattered chats. Friends.energy turns that into a city-by-city platform where jobs, housing, services, and events are searchable — and businesses can be found.
- →Listings by city: jobs, housing, services, cars
- →Local events and news, per city rather than per country
- →A business directory that is moderated, not open-post
- →City Telegram channels as the distribution layer
- Coverage
- Miami · New York · LA · SF · Chicago
- Audience
- Russian-speaking communities in the US
- Distribution
- Web plus per-city Telegram channels
FindSupport.ai
People who need a therapist do not fail at searching — they fail at the first message. FindSupport takes a description of the situation instead of a filter query, and carries the conversation to the specialist itself.
- →Describe the situation in plain words, not filters
- →Matching to specialists who fit that situation
- →The first message is sent through the platform
- →Free peer support from people who have been there
- Directory
- 2,748 therapist profiles · 147 US cities
- Revenue moment
- Access to contact, not to the listing
- Peer support
- Free for the person seeking help

AI-Powered B2B Lead Generation Engine
SaaS Growth Agency · 4 weeks

Metals Market Intelligence System
