PromoGoat

PromoGoat is an AI-native marketing agency delivered as software. It both plans and produces digital ad campaigns for small businesses.

Industry: MarTech

Funding Stage: Pre-Seed

Product Stage: Early Customer

Revenue: €3,500 MRR

Amount Raised: €0

Startup ID: #102

Number of Founders: 3

Other Founders: Valerie Badilla, Michael Glaros

Team Size: 8

PoC Founder: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreasan/

Technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning

Business Model: B2B, SaaS (Subscription), Usage-based / Pay-as-you-go, Commission-based

Biggest Achievement:
We’ve launched a working end-to-end product that takes a small business from strategy to finished ads in one flow — and the ultimate validation is in our customers’ results: early users are running PromoGoat-built campaigns and seeing real outcomes, with several converting to paid subscriptions on near-zero marketing spend. We’ve also signed an MoU with a distribution partner in the Philippines, opening a channel to reach SMBs at scale in a high-growth market.

Problem:
Small businesses are the most underserved customers in digital advertising. Agencies are too expensive and won’t take small budgets; self-serve ad platforms like Meta and Google are built for marketers and assume the owner already knows their audience, budget split, and creative strategy. The result: only a small fraction of SMBs run effective paid campaigns; most waste money guessing, and many don’t advertise at all.

Solution:
PromoGoat owns the full pipeline from strategy to finished ad, purpose-built for small businesses. It builds a complete media strategy and generates the creative to run it — giving SMBs agency-grade marketing without agency cost or complexity.

Unique Value:
Unlike self-serve tools that hand you a blank dashboard, or creative generators that only make assets, PromoGoat owns the full pipeline from strategy to finished ad and is purpose-built for small businesses, not an enterprise tool scaled down. Three things make it defensible: an agency-grade experience delivered through abstraction rather than complexity; a proprietary, deterministic planning engine built from real agency data; and a data flywheel — campaign results feed back into the engine, making plans sharper over time.

Revenue Model:
Three complementary streams: a SaaS subscription for ongoing planning and campaign management; usage-based credits for generating ad creative; and a percentage on managed ad spend. Primary acquisition is direct/self-serve, with banking and fintech partnerships, plus a Philippines distribution partner.

Traction:
150 users signed up, 20 paid subscriptions and several running campaigns.

Other Founders: Irakli Phkhovelishvili Felipe Infante De Castro

Team Size: 3

PoC Founder: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tornike-phkhovelishvili/

Technologies: Artificial Intelligence (Al) / Machine, Learning

Business Model: B2C B2B2C Saas (Subscription) Freemium

Biggest Achievement:
In ~12 months from launch, we grew to 30,000+ active users and 1,200+ paying subscribers on under $3,000 total marketing spend, with ~80% month-over-month revenue growth sustained for four consecutive months. Students have answered ~1 million real exam questions, a goal we set for 2027, hit 18 months early. Along the way, we won Best Newcomer 2025 at the GT Startup Awards and secured an $80,000 grant. We took part in the Google for Startups AI First accelerator and are currently part of Plug and Play.

Problem:
The most popular exams (SAT, GMAT, TOEFL) have excellent prep tools. The vast majority of high-stakes national exams and professional certifications worldwide have nothing, students rely on expensive tutors, outdated websites, or generic AI that doesn’t understand the exam’s structure, scoring rubrics, or language. Capable students underperform for no reason other than where they were born. National university entrance exams alone are taken by 20M+ students annually, yet the vast majority remain underserved.

Solution:
FoxPrep works like a world-class athletic coach for exams. It assesses exactly where a student stands, drills them with practice that mirrors the real exam question-by-question, same structure, difficulty, and scoring, and grades even essays and open math against the official rubrics, in the local language. Every session feeds a score forecast, so students see their predicted exam result move with each week of work. The engine is exam-agnostic: we launch a new national exam in weeks, which is why no one else serves these markets, and we can.

Unique Value:
A single day can change a student’s life, yet no one teaches them how to peak on that day. FoxPrep does. We bring the science of peak performance – assess, drill, measure, predict – to the exams the world ignores. Generic AI doesn’t understand these exams, global EdTech won’t build for them, and tutors can’t scale. FoxPrep delivers exam-mirror training, official-rubric AI grading, and score forecasts at a price every student can afford, in markets everyone else has skipped.

Revenue Model:
Freemium B2C subscription is the primary driver today. We’re layering on B2B2C — schools and teachers buying bulk classroom plans — which is already live in pilots (Buckswood, one of Georgia’s elite schools, plus 10 private tutors) and creates a sticky, low-CAC channel.

Traction:
30,000+ active users; 1,200+ paying subscribers; ~80% month-over-month revenue growth sustained four consecutive months; ~50% first-try renewal rate; CAC ≈ $3 with LTV/CAC > 5x; ~3M organic TikTok views (unpaid, student-generated); ~1M real exam questions answered on the platform; nationwide co-marketing partnership with Liberty Bank; B2B pilots live with schools and private tutors; Dark launch in Brazil.

PoC Founder: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christos-charalambous-368bb9324/

Technologies: Artificial Intelligence (Al) / Machine, Data Analytics / Big Data, Computer Vision, Robotics

Business Model: B2B

Biggest Achievement:
Within less than 6 months, LIVIA secured acceptance into the IDEA Accelerator by Bank of Cyprus, won JA StartUp 2026, and obtained more than 10 Letters of Intent from stakeholders across Cyprus. We have also received support from key ecosystem partners and validated strong market interest from agricultural producers and organizations. These milestones demonstrate both the commercial demand and practical relevance of our solution as we move from prototype development toward pilot deployments.

Problem:
Farmers often lack timely, high-resolution information about the health and condition of their crops. Existing monitoring methods are either labor-intensive, infrequent, or fragmented across multiple platforms, making it difficult to detect issues early and optimize resource use. This results in reduced yields, higher costs, and less sustainable farming practices.

Solution:

Existing monitoring methods are either labor-intensive, infrequent, or fragmented across multiple platforms, making it difficult to detect issues early and optimize resource use. This results in reduced yields, higher costs, and less sustainable farming practices.

Unique Value:
Unlike traditional solutions that focus on either drone imagery, satellite data, or analytics alone, LIVIA delivers a fully integrated end-to-end platform. By combining autonomous data collection, space-based observations, and AI decision support into a single solution, we provide continuous, scalable, and cost-effective monitoring for high-value crops.

Revenue Model:
LIVIA operates on a subscription-based Data-as-a-Service model. Customers pay an annual fee based on the number of hectares monitored, with additional revenue generated through deployment fees, advanced analytics packages, custom reporting, and specialized decision-support services.

Traction:
Yes we have secured over 10 Letters of Intent from agricultural stakeholders in Cyprus, demonstrating strong early market interest. The startup was selected for the IDEA Accelerator by Bank of Cyprus and was named the JA StartUp 2026 Winner. We are currently working with industry partners and potential pilot customers to validate the platform and prepare for initial field deployments.

Miracle

Miracle is a Decision Intelligence Companion – a tactile device paired with an AI app that helps people pause before impulse, see the possible consequences of a decision, and choose consciously. After each choice, Miracle records it, links it to the user’s goals, and builds a personal map of decisions, consequences, and patterns, with a weekly report showing what’s moving them closer to or further from what they want. We sit at the intersection of Consumer AI and Decision Intelligence, creating a new product category: not another app that gives advice, but a companion that intervenes inside the moment of impulse and learns from every decision.

Team Size: 5

PoC Founder: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lily-siakidou/

Technologies: Artificial Intelligence (Al) / Machine, Cloud Computing, APIs / Integrations, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Mobile Technologies, loT / Edge Computing

Business Model: B2C, Saas (Subscription), Transaction-based, Direct-to-Consumer (DTC)

Biggest Achievement:
Working physical prototype finalized. Validated through a 14-person, 3-week pilot in Cyprus, where the pause-and-preview mechanism reduced reactive behaviour and supported more conscious decisions. Secured 7 signed Letters of Intent from Cypriot SMEs for B2B pilots, participated in the Unicorn Pitch (June 2026) via Cyprus Business Club, and applied to a16z Speedrun in San Francisco. Built a complete pitch deck, financial model, and patent strategy for the device’s tactile interaction sequence. Led by two husband-and-wife co-founders with 10 years of international business experience and an Olympics-level operational background.

Problem:
People know what they want, but in the moment of impulse they choose what feels good right now. They want to be healthy but eat the junk food. They want to save but buy what they can’t afford. They want to protect a relationship but send the message they’ll regret. The impulse is felt instantly; the consequences arrive later, and by then it’s too late.

Every existing tool addresses this gap in the wrong place. Mindfulness apps like Calm and Headspace work before impulse arises. Wearables like Oura and Whoop measure consequences after the fact. AI assistants and coaches give advice, but in the real moment of impulse no one asks for advice. They just act.

No product today intervenes inside the moment of impulse, where the actual decision happens. That’s the gap.

Solution:
Miracle is a small tactile device combined with an AI companion app that helps people pause before they act, see what each choice could lead to, and decide consciously instead of reactively. Here’s how it works:

Impulse – the user feels the urge to act. Pause – they pick up the Miracle device and complete a short tactile sequence. This physical pause breaks the automatic reaction and brings them into a more conscious state. Choice – they make a first conscious choice, Yes or No, before any AI influence. Consequences – MIRA, the AI companion, shows two possible futures side by side: what happens if Yes, what happens if No. Decide – they make their final, fully conscious decision: confirm, change their mind, or start the cycle again.

But Miracle doesn’t stop there. Every decision is recorded, linked to the user’s goals, and added to a personal map that grows over time, showing which choices move them closer to what they want, which pull them away, and which patterns keep repeating. A weekly report brings it together: which impulses they paused, which decisions they made consciously, what consequences are starting to show, and how their choices shape their progress.

The promise: 15 seconds of pause. A lifetime of consequence.

Unique Value:
Miracle is the first consumer product that intervenes inside the moment of impulse, combining a tactile device, an AI consequence preview, and a personal decision map that learns from every choice over time. We’re building a new category at the intersection of consumer AI and decision-making. Four things make us defensible:

Hardware + AI + subscription. A tri-model business with one-time device revenue, recurring subscription revenue, and an AI moat that improves with every user decision. Patentable interaction sequence. The specific tactile interaction with the device is a novel mechanism we’re filing for patent protection soon. Personal consequence map. Every decision is logged, linked to the user’s goals, and turned into a long-term learning loop with weekly insights, so the product becomes more valuable to each user over time, driving retention. Universal application. The same physical pause works for any impulse, from a watch you can’t afford, to money lost on a bad investment, to an angry email that loses a client, to words in a fight that undo years of building.

Every other tool works before or after the moment. We work inside it, and then keep learning from it.

Revenue Model:
Hybrid hardware plus subscription model with recurring revenue from day one.

Device: €199 one-time purchase, premium positioning in line with Oura and Whoop, 56% gross margin (COGS €72). The customer pays for hardware upfront, so there’s no inventory cost-recovery risk. Subscription: €12.99 per month after a free trial, powering the AI consequence preview, personal decision map, and weekly insights, at 85% gross margin.

Unit economics, base case: blended CAC €45.66, subscription-enabled LTV/CAC 4.16× (above the 3× benchmark), subscription payback ~7 months.

Growth path: closed Cyprus pilot July-August 2026, pre-orders September 2026, EU rollout from 2027. The 24-month plan reaches 4,052 device sales and 2,836 active subscribers, with monthly net cash flow positive from Month 19 and Series A readiness after Month 24.

Traction:
Working physical prototype, final production version ready June 2026. MVP app and AI engine in active development with our technical mentor Yurii Lozinskyi (Chief Product and Technology at Verysell AI, ex-Deloitte). A 14-person closed pilot confirmed the pause-and-preview mechanism reduced reactive behaviour and supported more conscious decisions. 7 Letters of Intent signed from Cypriot SMEs interested in B2B pilots. Participated in Unicorn Pitch June 2026 via Cyprus Business Club; a16z Speedrun (San Francisco) application submitted. Patentable tactile interaction sequence we’re filing soon (EU and US).

Backed by senior mentors: Nikita Chepenko (Head of EU Office, Verysell Group and SmartDev), Yurii Lozinskyi (Chief Product and Technology, Verysell AI, ex-Deloitte), and the Cyprus Business Club accelerator.

Founders: Liliia Shiakidi (CEO), 5 years on the President’s personal team, Olympic-scale operations, 2 Presidential medals; Anthimos Shiakidis (COO), Cyprus Special Forces Lieutenant, engineering background, 10+ years operational leadership.Working physical prototype finalized.

PoC Founder: https://www.linkedin.com/in/panos-stylianou/

Technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning, Data Analytics / Big Data, Cloud Computing, APIs / Integrations, Computer Vision, Mobile Technologies, IoT / Edge Computing

Business Model: B2B, SaaS (Subscription), Freemium, Revenue Share

Biggest Achievement:
BetterMap is live in two of Cyprus’s largest shopping malls — MyMall Limassol and Kings Avenue Mall in Paphos — with active discussions underway to roll out across the rest of the island’s malls, as well as airports, large retail venues, events and expos. On the product side, a complete venue operating system was built in a single platform: interactive multi-floor maps with sub-2-metre indoor positioning, a geomarketing and offers engine, visitor and tenant communications, a remote screen-management ecosystem, delegated tenant self-service, and analytics.

Problem:
Large venues such as malls, airports, hospitals, hotels and expos are still essentially analogue. Visitors rely on static directories and signage, get lost, and struggle to find shops, services, offers or booths. Operators have no real-time way to communicate with people on-site, no digital surface to drive sales, and little insight into how their space is actually used. Shops and tenants have no direct channel to the visitors walking right past them. Existing tools for wayfinding, signage, promotions and analytics are fragmented across separate vendors, with no single system tying the venue together.

Solution:
BetterMap unifies the entire venue into a single interactive digital system — one dashboard connecting navigation, geomarketing, communications, screen management, tenant self-service and analytics. Visitors scan a QR code and get the full experience on their phone with no app download, while operators manage and update everything independently with no vendor calls.

Unique Value:
Most products do one piece: a static map, a signage tool, or a promotions app. BetterMap is the only platform that turns an entire venue into a single interactive digital system. It is fully customisable and DIY — a venue can build, brand and publish a production-ready interactive map in hours. The built-in geomarketing engine targets offers and ads by location and timing, lifting conversion of promotions served to visitors. The AI pipeline that reads photos, PDFs and CAD files is self-improving, so every map makes the next one faster and closer to production-ready, compounding the speed advantage over time. The platform is open with no lock-in and full data export.

Revenue Model:
B2B SaaS priced on the venue’s floor area — a single price per square metre including unlimited screens and full mobile support, so a venue scales its deployment without scaling cost per device. On top of the subscription, the geomarketing engine adds a revenue-share layer: shops, tenants and sponsors pay to run location-based offers and ads inside the venue’s map, and BetterMap takes a share of that spend. Each live venue becomes a recurring revenue stream alongside its subscription.

Traction:
Live in production at two of Cyprus’s largest malls — MyMall Limassol and Kings Avenue Mall in Paphos. Active discussions to expand across remaining Cyprus shopping malls, airports, hospitals, large retail venues, events and expos. BetterMap is also the official interactive map partner for StartupCon 2026, where attendees can use it live to find booths and navigate the venue.

Biggest Achievement:
Developed and validated a wardrobe-building methodology through real-world use. Successfully rebuilt wardrobes for 5–10 users across different body types, budgets, professions, and occasions, including founder styling, wedding outfits, and remote wardrobe planning. The methodology is now being transformed into a scalable AI-powered platform.

Problem:
We help people build a wardrobe they actually wear. We help people stop wasting time and money on clothes they never wear. Most people want to look great but don’t know how to build a wardrobe that actually works. We help them organize what they already own, find their style, and buy only the things that truly fit their wardrobe.

We help them organize what they already own, find their style, and buy only the things that truly fit their wardrobe.

Unique Value:
Most fashion apps help users buy more clothes. We help users build a wardrobe that actually works. Our AI starts with the user’s existing wardrobe, understands garment fit, proportions, colors, and style compatibility, and recommends only the pieces that improve the system rather than add more clutter.

Revenue Model:
Freemium subscription model. Core wardrobe management is free, while advanced AI styling, outfit generation, wardrobe analysis, shopping recommendations, and shared wardrobes are available through premium subscriptions. Additional revenue comes from affiliate partnerships with fashion retailers and brands.

Traction:
The wardrobe methodology has already been tested manually with 5–10 users across different age groups, body types, and styling goals. Users successfully rebuilt wardrobes, planned outfits, and optimized clothing purchases using the framework that is now being productized into an AI-powered solution.

Business Model: B2B, B2C, B2B2C, Licensing, White-label, Commission-based

Biggest Achievement:
The successful launch of RELOC8 Agent© on December 19, 2025 — the world’s first autonomous, voice-powered AI tax relocation agent. Developed entirely in-house, this technology compresses a complex 3-week corporate structuring and onboarding process into under 72 hours while slashing client costs by 65%. This allowed RELOC8 to bootstrap to over €125,000 in revenue in 2025 and win the prestigious Audience Favourite Award at the Startup World Cup Finals.

Problem:
The global tax relocation and corporate structuring industry is prohibitively expensive, overwhelmingly complex, and agonizingly slow. High-mobility entrepreneurs, investors, and remote workers face extreme “compliance anxiety” and information asymmetry when navigating cross-border tax laws. They are forced to rely on legacy law firms that charge exorbitant consultation fees — often exceeding €30,000 — and take months to process paperwork. This makes legal migration and tax optimization a highly stressful, drawn-out privilege rather than an accessible, digital-first experience.

Solution:
RELOC8 Online bridges verified legal intelligence with agentic AI execution. Its autonomous RELOC8 Agent© compresses months-long bureaucratic procedures into under 72 hours, reducing traditional consulting costs by 65% and transforming €30,000+ legal fees into a seamless, accessible digital transaction for modern remote workers and entrepreneurs.

Unique Value:
RELOC8 Agent© is the only platform offering a fully automated, self-service digital ecosystem for global tax relocation. Unlike legacy consultancies (e.g., Henley & Partners, Nomad Capitalist) that rely on manual, billable-hour models catering exclusively to ultra-high-net-worth clients, RELOC8 provides autonomous face-to-face AI tax consultation, pairs it with the open-access World Tax Index© to eliminate industry information asymmetry, and executes end-to-end relocation — slashing costs by 65% and compressing months of back-and-forth into under 72 hours.

Revenue Model:
Hybrid B2B/B2C tiered pricing: Premier Package €5,000 (standard end-to-end relocation); Elite Package €15,000 (complex HNW structuring); Consultation Calls €150/hour. Recurring revenue of €1,000–€3,000/year for ongoing compliance and renewals. Acquisition via product-led inbound (free Destination Selector and World Tax Index as SEO lead magnets), strategic B2B partnerships with real estate developers, law firms, and accounting agencies, and paid digital/referral campaigns.

Traction:
Post-revenue with 51% profit margin. ~€9,000/month average revenue in year one. 130+ qualified inquiries, 25+ high-value consultation calls, and 18 high-ticket package conversions totalling €90,000 in a single tracking cycle. Clients actively relocated to 30+ jurisdictions globally. Won Audience Favourite Award at the Startup World Cup Finals (Cyprus) 2025 and winning title at the EIT Innovation Festival at CYENS Nicosia.

Business Model: B2C, Saas (Subscription), Freemium, Direct-to-Consumer (DTC), Commission-based

Biggest Achievement:
We built a working product and already have our first paying users. We also ran 2 group career programs that earned €1,220 and helped people get real job offers, with dozens of testimonials. Our AI tools, like resume and cover letter writing and job collecting from 15+ sources, are tested on real paying users. On top of that, we built a partner network: an HR community with 400+ companies and an international recruiting agency.

Problem:
Finding a job today is hard and slow. In 2025 there were 246,000 tech layoffs, and there are 35% fewer developer jobs than in 2020. People now apply to 7 times more jobs than before. The average search takes about 6 months, and 1 in 5 people look for over a year. Most people send hundreds of applications by hand and rewrite their resume for each one. 72% say job hunting hurts their mental health.

Unique Value:
We are the only tool that covers the whole job search in one place: building your profile, finding jobs, applying for you, helping with interviews, and even freelance work. Most other tools do just one piece. One only scans your resume, another is just a job board, another only auto-applies, another is just a coach. We put it all together in one simple flow built around your real profile. And we built it after helping 70+ real people land jobs as career mentors, so we know what actually works.

Revenue Model:
We make money in two ways: subscriptions and paid group programs. Start: $29 to $49 a month. AI profile, job collecting, and up to 100 auto-applications a month. Group: $390 to $990 per program. Mentors, live help, and unlimited auto-applications. Pro: $1,000 to $1,500 plus 3% of your first-year salary. We run the whole search for you until you get an offer. On average each user pays about $120 to $150 a month. To reach $1M a year we need about 700 paying users. For every $1 we spend to get a user, we earn back $6-8.

Psithyron

Psithyron is an AI-native studio that helps startups and small businesses build, launch, and grow. We combine two things most providers keep separate: we build custom AI tools and digital products, and we run the full go-to-market around them — branding, marketing, lead generation, and distribution. In short, we take a founder’s idea and turn it into a product people can find, use, and buy.

Business Model: B2B, Saas (Subscription), White-label, Revenue Share, Other

Biggest Achievement:
We proved the model on ourselves. Starting from a 30-year family auto-body business, we designed and shipped a full AI product suite in-house — an AI damage estimator (computer-vision detection and segmentation with an automated pricing engine) at pinelaki.com/estimate — plus the branding and marketing around them. It’s working evidence that we don’t just advise on AI; we build production AI tools and the go-to-market to launch them. That same end-to-end capability is what we now bring to other founders and small businesses across Cyprus.

Problem:
Small businesses and early-stage startups are stuck between two expensive, disconnected worlds: developers who build tools but don’t understand customers or marketing, and agencies that market but can’t build anything. Founders end up juggling multiple vendors, paying enterprise prices, and still not getting a product that’s both built well and actually reaches its market. AI now makes it possible to do both far faster and cheaper — but most local businesses have no idea how to harness it.

AI now makes it possible to do both far faster and cheaper — but most local businesses have no idea how to harness it.

Unique Value:
We’re the rare studio that both builds and sells. Most agencies can market but can’t build AI; most dev shops can build but can’t market. We do both, AI-natively — and we’ve proven it by building and launching our own AI product suite from scratch. For a small business or startup, that means one partner instead of five, turning an idea into a working, well-branded product that actually reaches customers.

Revenue Model:
Three streams: (1) productized service packages and monthly retainers for branding, marketing, and growth; (2) build fees and subscriptions for the custom AI tools and products we develop for clients; (3) performance and revenue-share arrangements tied to the leads and growth we generate. Our automotive AI tools (cypruscarrepair) also act as a productized vertical offering and a live showcase that drives inbound interest.

Traction:
Live AI products built and running in-house (the AI estimator at pinelaki.com/estimate). Active client work including ongoing digital and email marketing for a US retail client (Santa Clarita Autosound). GK Psithyron Ltd incorporated in Cyprus, with an early pipeline of local prospects.

Business Model: B2B, B2B2C, Freemium, Usage-based / Pay-as-you-go

Biggest Achievement:
Domenica Group — luxury real estate developer, Cyprus, 65 years in business, 480 employees, 400+ units for sale — came to us with a lead backlog that had been dormant for 2–3 years. Nobody had bandwidth to follow up manually. We deployed a voice and WhatsApp AI system. Within 30 days: 50 qualified appointments booked. Not leads — appointments, in a market where one closed deal is worth €500K+. That result is now our template. One high-impact problem, a focused system, a measurable output.

Problem:
Real estate developers are bleeding revenue from slow and inconsistent lead follow-up. Industry average response time is 15 hours after an inquiry. 51% of leads are never contacted at all. On a €300K+ property that’s €9,000+ in lost commission per missed lead — multiplied across hundreds of dormant contacts sitting in every developer’s CRM. The tools that exist today either require an engineering team to operate (Retell, Vapi, n8n) or cost enterprise budgets most developers will never have (Parloa, Sierra). Nobody built the layer in between: a system a sales manager can actually run.

Nobody built the layer in between: a system a sales manager can actually run.

Unique Value:
We’re the only AI sales platform built specifically for real estate developers in Southern and Mediterranean Europe. Retell and Vapi require engineers. Parloa serves companies with €150K budgets. Fonio handles one agent, one script. Nobody combined voice + WhatsApp + email orchestration into a single system a non-technical operator can run — and stand up in minutes — with real estate logic built in from day one. We don’t sell thinking. We sell a working system with a measurable output — and we’ve already proven it.

Revenue Model:
Setup fee per deployment (€2,500–€12,500) plus monthly SaaS subscription per active agent seat (€499–€4,500+/month). Domenica Group pays €1,500/quarter after a €2,500 setup. At 70 active clients in month 12: €350K in setup fees + €35K MRR. That’s the conservative case. We’re also in early conversations with operators in healthcare and financial services — verticals where the same lead-response problem exists but the contract sizes are larger.

Traction:
3 paying customers. €500 MRR recurring. Additional consulting revenue (~€390/month). Domenica Group is the anchor — 50 qualified appointments in 30 days from a dead lead backlog. Platform built 100% in-house, zero external contractors. NVIDIA Inception Program member. Applied to YCombinator Summer 2026. Stack live in production across voice (Retell/ElevenLabs), WhatsApp (Meta Cloud API), and email. After Domenica, nobody on their team asks whether AI works. They ask what we’re building next.

Business Model: B2B

Biggest Achievement:
EcoHubMap has built a large curated database of sustainability-related organizations and green locations, including thousands of NGOs, eco-media, businesses, government agencies, hotspots, and green spots. The platform has also been referenced in academic and research-related sources, showing its value as a sustainability discovery and information resource.

Problem:
Sustainability information is fragmented, unstructured, and difficult to verify. People, researchers, businesses, and institutions often need to search across many websites to find relevant eco-focused organizations, compare them, or understand their sustainability activity.

Solution:
EcoHubMap centralizes sustainability-related organizations and locations in one searchable platform. We organize profiles by category, location, and sustainability focus, and we are developing AI tools, starting with a sustainability policy generator, to help users create, understand, and evaluate sustainability-related information more easily.

Unique Value:
Unlike general business directories, EcoHubMap focuses exclusively on sustainability-related organizations and content. We combine curated listings, sustainability-focused categorization, editorial review, and emerging AI tools to help users discover credible organizations, initiatives, and solutions in one place. Our growing dataset spans businesses, NGOs, media, government agencies, and sustainability hotspots worldwide.

Revenue Model:
Our revenue model includes premium organization listings, featured placements, sponsored content, advertising, sustainability-related services, and subscription-based tools. We recently launched a Sustainability Policy Generator that helps organizations create sustainability policies more efficiently.

Biggest Achievement:
We started a business with 0 capital. The original idea was to create a platform, but we decided to test the hypothesis with the agency model. Two months later we generated our first leads. Half a year after starting the business, we onboarded our first clients who are still with us. By the projection we expect to close the current year with over 200,000 EUR in revenue.

Problem:
Lack of data on licenses and companies listed for sale, a lot of communication channels (calls, emails, messengers), lack of transparency when it comes to fair pricing – no clear picture of legal operations and requirements.

We use a mix of subscription revenue, service revenue, and commission revenue from partners.

Traction:
Yes, we have a client base and recurring leads.

HydroH2

HydroH2 develops green hydrogen production projects in Poland, focused on supplying low-carbon hydrogen to industrial offtakers. The company is advancing electrolyzer-based hydrogen facilities using renewable electricity, with an initial project pipeline targeting 8 MW, 20 MW, and 50 MW capacities. HydroH2’s goal is to help decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors by providing reliable, cost-competitive green hydrogen.

Technologies: Artificial Intelligence (Al) / Machine, Data Analytics / Big Data, Automation / RPA, loT / Edge Computing

Biggest Achievement:
HydroH2’s biggest achievement to date is the development of its Green2Hydrogen project in Poland, including secured land rights, reserved grid capacity, and strong commercial traction from industrial offtakers. The project has achieved 88% output allocation through a pre-agreement and letters of intent, demonstrating clear market demand. HydroH2 has also progressed supplier engagement for 8 MW, 20 MW, and 50 MW electrolyzer configurations with leading international electrolyzer manufacturers.

Problem:
Heavy industry needs to reduce carbon emissions but often lacks access to reliable, local, and commercially viable green hydrogen supply. Existing hydrogen production is still largely fossil-based, while many industrial companies face increasing pressure from regulation, customers, and investors to decarbonize. HydroH2 addresses the gap between rising industrial demand for clean hydrogen and the limited availability of bankable green hydrogen projects in Central Europe.

Existing hydrogen production is still largely fossil-based, while many industrial companies face increasing pressure from regulation, customers, and investors to decarbonize. HydroH2 addresses the gap between rising industrial demand for clean hydrogen and the limited availability of bankable green hydrogen projects in Central Europe.

Unique Value:
HydroH2 combines project development, secured infrastructure access, industrial offtake demand, and a clear commercial model in one of Europe’s most attractive hydrogen markets. Its Poland-based projects benefit from proximity to industrial customers, reserved grid capacity, secured land rights, and strong early offtake interest. This positions HydroH2 to deliver green hydrogen faster and with lower execution risk than many earlier-stage hydrogen concepts.

Revenue Model:
HydroH2 will generate revenue through the sale of gaseous green hydrogen to industrial customers under long-term offtake agreements. Pricing will be based on contracted hydrogen supply volumes, with revenue driven by production capacity, utilization rates, and agreed hydrogen sale prices. The company may also capture additional value from environmental attributes, strategic partnerships, and future expansion of its project portfolio.

Traction:
HydroH2 has secured land rights and reserved grid capacity for its Poland project. The company has 100% of projected hydrogen output allocated through a pre-agreement and letters of intent with industrial offtakers. HydroH2 is also actively engaging leading electrolyzer suppliers, including NEL, ITM Power, Cummins, Siemens, Plug Power, and thyssenkrupp nucera, for 8 MW, 20 MW, and 50 MW project configurations.

Biggest Achievement:
Honestly, it’s the startup I’m building right now. I took 35 years of software engineering and CTO experience, isolated the hardest algorithmic problems I’ve faced, and built a company designed specifically to solve them from the outside in. Taking that leap from executive to founder with a highly specialized architecture has been the absolute highlight of my career.

Problem:
1. Zero-Compromise Security & Compliance: Immediate, out-of-the-box alignment with PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, SOX, and SOC 2, ensuring enterprise data is completely isolated and validated before it ever leaves your perimeter. 2. Intelligent Hybrid Routing: A proprietary routing layer that analyzes requests in real time, automatically redirecting them to the most cost-effective model or processing them on our local AI servers to slash traditional API and token costs.

Technologies: Artificial Intelligence (Al) / Machine, Cloud Computing, APIs / Integrations, Computer Vision

Business Model: B2B, Usage-based / Pay-as-you-go

Biggest Achievement:
Our biggest achievement to date is building a working proof-of-concept that delivers real-time AI-generated audio descriptions for video content. We successfully validated the core technology and demonstrated low-latency performance. We also gathered early feedback from users and stakeholders, confirming strong demand for scalable accessibility solutions. This milestone proves both technical feasibility and market need, and positions us to move toward a production-ready MVP and early partnerships.

Problem:
Millions of visually impaired people cannot fully access digital content such as videos, live streams, and online media because most of it lacks audio descriptions. Creating these descriptions manually is expensive, slow, and not scalable, so only a small fraction of content is accessible. At the same time, the volume of digital content is growing rapidly, while platforms struggle to meet accessibility requirements efficiently. This creates a significant gap between the demand for accessible content and the ability to provide it at scale.

Business Model: B2C, Licensing, Other

Biggest Achievement:
Our biggest achievement to date is the development of our early fire detection and immediate suppression system, which can make a significant impact in preventing wildfires. In a short time, we identified the optimal drone systems and firefighting agents / systemem, and we conducted thorough research on the best detection technology. This was a crucial step in proving the technological feasibility. Since then, we have already pitched the idea to potential clients, including municipalities, and we have received support letters from local mayors in Pissouri, where we plan to start our pilot.

Problem:
wildfires destroying our beautiful island

Solution:
wildfires destroying our beautiful island

Unique Value:
We aim to provide the fastest and most reliable early fire detection, combined with an automated drone suppression solution. This not only drastically reduces risks, but also ensures efficient, flexible, and scalable fire protection, wherever and whenever you need it.

Revenue Model:
X-Wing, we want to provide a complete fire detection and suppression service using advanced drones. Our model is flexible: we rent out the detection and firefighting service on a daily or weekly basis to municipalities and private clients with large properties, we expect a complete system, including detection and prevention, to require an investment of about 70,000 to 80,000 euros per unit. We then secure a minimum five-year contract with local authorities, which allows us to finance the initial investment through a bank. This keeps our capital costs low while enabling us to build a strong ROI model, giving us a clear payback and an attractive return on investment. In Cyprus alone, we’ve identified a market of about 50 to 100 drone systems. At 500 euros per day, that amounts to 182,500 euros per drone per year. Thus, for 50 to 100 systems, the market potential ranges from about 9.1 to 18.25 million euros annually per drone system. This approach gives us a solid payback and a strong ROI, making it a very attractive investment model.

PoC Founder: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ceopalanit

Business Model: Marketplace

Biggest Achievement:
With a small team (the PALANIT brand), we took the product from concept to a fully functional, revenue-ready platform and launched it. The website and mobile app are available in four languages, with real payments integrated via Stripe (a Cypriot legal entity); moderation, security, and backup systems have been implemented, and the Android app is already in closed beta testing on Google Play. This isn’t just a concept on paper, but a live product with monetization enabled—created without any external investment.

Problem:
Buying and selling locally in Cyprus is inconvenient: listings are scattered across Facebook groups, messaging apps, and outdated websites. There is no single, modern platform that caters to locals, expats, and tourists (Greek/English/Russian/Ukrainian), is easy to use on a phone, and inspires trust (moderation, protection against scammers). It also lacks enhanced features for car renters, which is a very popular category in our region.

It also lacks enhanced features for car renters, which is a very popular category in our region.

Unique Value:
Unlike international and general-purpose platforms, Kyma.cy is tailored for Cyprus: four languages with one-click translation, a mobile-first approach and a native app, trust built through moderation and security tools, and a modern UX. And most importantly—no transaction fees: free listings attract the most offers, and we generate revenue through promotion and advertising (just like the world’s largest classifieds sites). What’s more, we’ve developed a Trust Center with detailed reports on the platform updates and security measures we implement.

Revenue Model:
Three revenue streams: (1) paid ad promotion—“Boost” for €2, “7-Day Boost” for €6, “TOP” for €5, “VIP” for €12 (already live via Stripe); (2) banner ads for local businesses (self-service placement); (3) In the future—premium subscriptions and business accounts. Acquisition channels: SEO (we’re already indexed), app stores, local and social media marketing, partnerships (car rentals, car dealerships, agencies). No transaction fees—low barrier to entry and maximum volume.

Traction:
Yes—in terms of the product’s readiness and early indicators: the platform is already up and running (kyma.cy), live payments are enabled (Stripe), the Android app is in closed beta testing on Google Play, the product is available in four languages, and the website is indexed by search engines. We’re currently preparing for the marketing launch and seeking investment to fuel growth.

Bitloops

Bitloops is an open-source intelligence layer that gives AI coding agents persistent context memory — capturing every prompt, decision, and code change so agents never start from scratch between sessions. Unlike today’s fragile workarounds (manually maintained CLAUDE.md and memory files), Bitloops automatically assembles and injects ranked, token-budgeted context from code structure, semantic history, and past conversations — running fully local with no data leaving the machine. We’re targeting the millions of developers now using AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) who are losing hours every week to the blank-slate problem.

PoC Founder: https://linkedin.com/in/sergiopreira/

Technologies: Artificial Intelligence (Al) / Machine, Cloud Computing, DevOps / Infrastructure

Business Model: B2B, Marketplace

Biggest Achievement:
Bitloops has raised $1M in pre-seed funding and validated its core technology through rigorous benchmarking — demonstrating over 50% reduction in token consumption while delivering measurably better AI coding agent outputs. This means developers get smarter, faster AI assistance at a fraction of the cost. These results confirm that intelligent context injection isn’t just a developer experience improvement — it’s a fundamental efficiency unlock for any team running AI agents at scale.

Problem:
Every AI coding agent starts each session with zero memory. Developers must manually maintain context files (CLAUDE.md, agent.md, memory files) to give their AI any sense of project history — a brittle, time-consuming workaround that still fails. The result: agents repeat mistakes, ignore past decisions, and generate bloated, low-quality code that developers have to fix by hand. As AI agents become the primary way software gets built, this blank-slate problem compounds — wasting tokens, developer time, and eroding trust in AI tooling. There is no persistent, intelligent memory layer built for AI coding agents. Bitloops is that layer.

Solution:
Bitloops is an open-source intelligence layer that gives AI coding agents persistent context memory. It automatically captures every prompt, decision, and code change as structured checkpoints — then, at the start of each new session, assembles and injects a ranked, token-budgeted context bundle built from AST code analysis, semantic search, conversation history, and testing artifacts. Developers stop losing time to manual context maintenance. Agents stop repeating mistakes. And because Bitloops runs fully local, no code or data ever leaves the machine. The result: more than 50% token savings with measurably better outputs — proven in benchmarks.

Unique Value:
Bitloops is the only open-source, fully local memory layer built specifically for AI coding agents. Unlike generic RAG tools or manual context files, Bitloops combines four intelligence sources — AST code analysis, semantic search, conversation history, and testing artifacts — into a single ranked, token-budgeted context bundle injected automatically at session start. Developers get smarter agents without changing their workflow. Teams get reproducibility and auditability of every AI decision. And because it runs entirely on-device, it works for any stack, any agent, with zero privacy risk. The outcome: 50%+ token savings with better code quality, proven in benchmarks.

Revenue Model:
Bitloops is open-source at its core, with a SaaS layer for teams and enterprises. Revenue comes from three streams: a cloud-hosted version with team sync, shared context, and usage analytics; enterprise licensing for on-premise deployments with SSO, audit logs, and compliance controls; and usage-based pricing tied to context processing volume as AI agent usage scales. The open-source flywheel drives adoption — developers discover Bitloops individually, prove value, then advocate for team-wide rollout. Given that every developer using an AI agent is a potential user, the bottom-up motion converts naturally into B2B contracts.

Traction:
Bitloops is live with early adopters actively testing the product and providing ongoing feedback. Developers are using it in real workflows — validating both the core context injection and session tracking capabilities — and their input is directly shaping the roadmap. Alongside this, we have raised $1M in pre-seed funding, confirming investor conviction in the opportunity. Benchmark results showing 50%+ token savings with improved output quality have generated strong interest from developers and engineering teams looking to get more out of their AI coding agents.

Linxei

Linxei is an AI-powered legal marketplace built to widen access to justice, making good legal help affordable, transparent and easy to find. Our AI triages each problem and matches people with the right vetted lawyer, inside a model engineered to keep lawyers compliant with their local bar rules, so we can scale across the EU where conventional referral-fee marketplaces cannot. We are live in a closed pilot with Cyprus lawyers and have a warm network of thousands of EU lawyers ready to onboard.

Business Model: B2B, B2C, Saas (Subscription), Marketplace, Transaction-based

Biggest Achievement:
Linxei’s biggest achievement to date is going live: we have moved from concept to a working MVP and launched a closed pilot of our AI-powered legal marketplace, with our first users now actively using the consumer-facing chatbot. Enrolment is ongoing. For an early-stage venture operating in a high-trust, heavily regulated space, where getting an AI legal product in front of real users at all is a genuine hurdle, reaching live deployment is the milestone we are proudest of. It proves the product works in practice and gives us the real-world feedback loop to build on.

Problem:
In a nutshell, the problem of access to justice. Most people and small businesses cannot access affordable, reliable legal help when they need it. It is too expensive, too slow, and too hard to navigate. Legal expertise stays locked behind high hourly fees and a shortage of lawyers, so the majority of everyday legal problems go unresolved. Linxei uses AI to make first-line legal guidance and the right lawyer accessible and affordable, closing the gap between people who need legal help and those who can provide it.

Linxei uses AI to make first-line legal guidance and the right lawyer accessible and affordable, closing the gap between people who need legal help and those who can provide it.

Unique Value:
Unlike marketplaces that depend on referral fees and advertising, which most EU bar codes prohibit, Linxei is engineered to keep lawyers compliant with their local rules on fee-sharing, brokerage, and advertising. Because our model adapts to each jurisdiction’s code of conduct, we can scale across the EU where others are legally blocked, inside a secure environment built around lawyer-client privilege, traceability, defensibility, and predictability.

Revenue Model:
We monetise through bar-compliant channels: usage-based fees for lawyers (billed by units such as data, compliance tier, and call volume), subscriptions for directory listing, and a permitted percentage of legal fees from clients. Because no revenue line depends on fee-sharing or prohibited referrals, our model scales jurisdiction by jurisdiction alongside the platform.

Traction:
Through my existing company I have built a network of thousands of EU lawyers, giving Linxei a warm, ready supply side from day one and removing the hardest problem a legal marketplace faces. We also have a working MVP live in a closed pilot with first users enrolling, and a bar-compliant revenue model built to scale across jurisdictions. The near-term task is converting that network into active lawyers on the platform.

Business Model: B2B, Transaction-based, Advertising-based, Commission-based

Biggest Achievement:
We built a capital-efficient creator-growth platform with $4.9M+ revenue generated to date, $1.46M recognized revenue as of June 15, 2026, and ~$3.2M annualized run-rate. The company has no debt, loans or disputes, and serves clients including Nebius, Glam, Higgsfield, Yesim and Capital.com. We have also processed $2.45M+ in creator payouts globally, proving the transaction infrastructure behind the platform.

Problem:
Creator-led growth is becoming a core marketing channel, but the operating stack is still fragmented. Brands manage discovery, audience checks, campaign planning, contracts, content tracking, cross-border payouts and reporting across disconnected tools, spreadsheets and manual workflows. This makes creator campaigns hard to scale, hard to measure and difficult to repeat across markets.

Solution:

Brands manage discovery, audience checks, campaign planning, contracts, content tracking, cross-border payouts and reporting across disconnected tools, spreadsheets and manual workflows. This makes creator campaigns hard to scale, hard to measure and difficult to repeat across markets.

Unique Value:
YoCreate combines creator intelligence, campaign execution data, payout infrastructure and AI agents. Unlike point solutions that only help with creator search, reporting or payments, YoCreate connects the full workflow from creator discovery to performance measurement and payout reconciliation. Because we already have real campaign, payout and performance data, our AI agents are built on operational context rather than generic creator profiles.

Revenue Model:
YoCreate generates revenue through managed creator campaign fees, platform subscriptions, recurring data-intelligence dashboards, and transaction fees on creator payouts and brand-creator workflows. Today, revenue is driven by proven creator-led growth workflows for enterprise clients. The next step is to scale software and transaction revenue through the YoCreate Platform, recurring analytics products and global payout infrastructure.

Traction:
Yes. YoCreate has generated $4.9M+ in revenue to date, with $1.46M recognized revenue as of June 15, 2026 and approximately $3.2M annualized run-rate. The company has 31 paying clients all-time, 143 media plans, 2,402 placement line items, 2,110 payout records, 4,585 creators in its database, 8,898 bank and crypto transactions ingested, and $2.45M+ creator payouts processed globally.

Standard industry layers introduce heavy software overhead that locks up hardware resources, degrades application performance, and forces businesses to overpay for bloated, misconfigured cloud environments. Companies are stuck choosing between high costs or poor performance.

Unique Value:
We deliver enterprise-grade, native speed and infrastructure efficiency directly to the end-user at a fraction of the market cost. Engineered as a turnkey solution for agencies, our platform features built-in reseller support, native management for all global TLDs, and the market’s most advanced AI support system to automate technical troubleshooting. This eliminates complex third-party integrations and massive support overhead, allowing partners to maximize their margins effortlessly.

Revenue Model:
We operate on a subscription and usage-based SaaS revenue model. Our primary growth channel is a highly scalable B2B reseller and partner strategy. We partner directly with web agencies and IT integrators who manage infrastructure on behalf of their clients. By providing these agencies with a hyper-efficient platform to host all their client projects, we achieve rapid, compounded global distribution without the high costs of direct-to-consumer marketing.

Traction:
While this specific Cyprus-based venture is in its Pre-Seed launch stage, the underlying business model is heavily validated by the founder’s prior success. The previous hosting company was built from scratch into a robust, highly profitable, and debt-free market position with completely self-sustained operations. We are leveraging that deep operational blueprint and industry data not to merely improve upon the past, but to completely leapfrog existing industry standards and raise the benchmark to an entirely new level of extreme performance with our new architecture.

Technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning, Mobile Technologies, AR / VR / XR, Robotics

Business Model: B2B, B2B2C, Usage-based / Pay-as-you-go

Biggest Achievement:
Our greatest achievement has been inventing and building a first-of-its-kind AI and AR-powered photography platform that enables anyone to capture professional-quality property photos using only a smartphone. Many experts told us this was impossible, yet we developed a working product with a unique, intuitive guidance system that delivers the expertise of a professional photographer directly to the user. By creating a completely new UX powered by real-time AR directions, we invented a category that did not previously exist and made professional property photography accessible to everyone.

Problem:
Professional photos are expensive while quality photos are essential in order to increase revenues. Property owners and real estate agencies need high-quality, trustworthy photos to attract buyers, renters, and guests. But professional real estate photography can cost $150–$1,000+ per shoot, making regular updates too expensive for many landlords and agents. As a result, many listings use poor-quality images that do not aesthetically or accurately reflect the property, leading to lower sales and bookings, more cancellations, and reduced trust in platforms.

Solution:
KAMO HOUSE provides an AI and AR-powered smartphone app that guides any user in real time to capture professional-quality property photos — eliminating the need for expensive photographers while producing authentic, trustworthy images that accurately represent the space.

Unique Value:
1. There is no other solution with an intelligent guidance system that analyzes a room and provides real-time instructions on where the user should stand and how they should position their smartphone to capture the best possible photo. 2. The photos produced with our system are authentic, high-quality images of real spaces. While competing solutions focus on generating or heavily modifying photos using AI, we help users create genuine photos that accurately represent reality. As AI-generated content becomes increasingly common, there is growing demand across the proptech and hospitality industries for trustworthy, authentic property imagery.

Revenue Model:
By selling our product to the STR (short-term rental) market, hosting market, and real estate market. We have already started reaching relevant channels and received high interest.

Traction:
We have established a partnership with a hotel management system (HMS) provider and have attracted interest from a leading global smartphone manufacturer. We have exhibited in London and participated in conventions in Abu Dhabi, Hamburg and Berlin. Photos created with KAMO are already published on Airbnb and several additional accommodation platforms. We are currently in discussions with multiple HMS providers and online platforms, and have also held negotiations with one of the world’s leading digital platforms regarding potential collaboration.

Enterprise network planning is broken. A typical campus refresh or infrastructure deployment involves 6–12 months of fragmented work across manual reconciliation, spreadsheets, email threads, Visio diagrams, vendor calls, RFP documents and procurement systems — with no single source of truth. Design outputs vary by engineer, creating unpredictable customer experience and rework loops. Errors in BoM, TCO or scoping erode gross margin before a single device ships. Network architects spend more time on admin than engineering. Critical decisions — which vendor, design, SLA — are made on inconsistent or incomplete data, resulting in slower decision cycles and higher costs.

Solution:
Trodos.AI is the only platform that takes a network project from a blank page to a signed contract and staged deployment — with AI driving every step and a human approving every decision — without ever leaving a single workspace. It owns the entire decision chain from the first discovery question to the last DocuSign signature, eliminating context switching, data re-entry, and version drift between tools.

Unique Value:
Trodos provides an end-to-end lifecycle, not a point solution. Competing platforms are either vendor-built (Cisco DNA Center, Aruba Central, Juniper Mist) and biased toward their own stack, or aggregators who charge vendors for placement. Trodos has no pay-to-rank model — the vendor evaluation matrix is weighted by the customer’s own criteria, and BoMs are built from vendor-agnostic capability specifications before any vendor name is attached. Most “AI-powered” tools bolt a chatbot onto an existing workflow. Trodos inverts the model: the AI is the architect — it analyses discovery data, generates the design, scores vendors, drafts the RFP, flags compliance gaps, and queues the next action. The human’s job is to approve, adjust or reject, not to produce. Every project generates labelled, structured data that makes the AI progressively better at predicting designs, flagging compliance gaps before they become audit findings, and estimating timelines. Compliance (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, GDPR, NIST CSF, SLA obligations) is woven into every phase rather than treated as a separate audit exercise.

Revenue Model:
SaaS subscription sold to technology partners, with enterprise plans coming in future phases. Core tiers include Plan Studio (unlimited projects, core AI features), with add-on modules for the Discovery Probe (hardware/virtual), Partner Controls (multi-tenant, customer-facing workspace), and an Automation Pack (agentic deployment, Phase 2).

Traction:
Multiple technology partners have expressed interest and are willing to participate as beta users for the first MVP.

PoC Founder: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikita-kruglikov-22715052/

Technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning, Data Analytics / Big Data, APIs / Integrations, Internet of Things (IoT)

Business Model: B2B, SaaS (Subscription), Revenue Share

Biggest Achievement:
Working with some of the world’s largest hospitality operators, including Aimbridge Hospitality (1,500+ hotels under management) and Marriott Europe, saving 14–20% of energy without requiring major upfront infrastructure. This demonstrates the pain is real even for the most sophisticated operators, creating a strong path into the wider hospitality market.

Problem:
Hotels and restaurants waste energy not because they do not care, but because the day-to-day operation is too complex to control manually. HVAC, boilers, kitchens, ventilation, guest comfort, staff behaviour, BMS settings, weather, and occupancy all interact simultaneously. Engineering teams are stuck in reactive mode — fixing urgent issues, responding to complaints, and keeping the building running — with rarely enough time, data, or energy expertise to identify hidden waste or optimise equipment performance. As a result, energy losses stay invisible, costs remain high, and emissions are avoidable.

Solution:
Fewton remotely connects hundreds of data points across a property portfolio, surfaces exactly where energy is being wasted, and delivers clear, easy-to-implement fixes directly to on-site teams — turning reactive engineering into proactive energy management without requiring major infrastructure investment.

Unique Value:
Every other tool shows you data. Fewton tells you what is wrong and gets it fixed. Built specifically for hospitality — so it works in the real world of guests, kitchens, and occupancy that generic energy tools ignore. Insight to action, on every site, from day one.

Revenue Model:
Three pricing models: (1) Shared savings — no upfront cost, Fewton earns a share of verified energy savings, with a paid initial pilot generating revenue from day one; (2) Fixed fee by energy intensity — priced per m²/year, tiered by building efficiency, capped at 5% of annual energy spend, with portfolio discounts of 10–15%; (3) Capex model — single upfront licence for clients who prefer asset ownership. All models run on a 36-month minimum term and include platform access, mobile field tool, dashboards, anomaly alerts, ESG/carbon reporting, and a dedicated customer success contact. Sales via direct enterprise sales to portfolio operators and channel partnerships with BMS providers (Siemens, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Schneider Electric), PMS providers (Oracle Hospitality/Opera, Mews, Apaleo), and FM/engineering service companies.

Traction:
£10k+ first month of revenue with clear ramp-up as deployments convert into rollouts. Achieving 14–23% energy savings across active sites. Successful rollouts with L’ETO and Bear Coffee, converting one site into dozens. Pilots running with Aimbridge Hospitality (deployed across two sites, designed to convert into portfolio-wide rollout). Late-stage discussions with Amanta (Marriott portfolio UK), Marriott Europe, Partouche Group (signed Letter of Intent), Mogotel (Baltics), and Leonardo (Cyprus). Near-term pipeline represents ~£870k in expected annualised revenue from deployments being onboarded or in late-stage pilot.
