We're SEO Link Monitor, a SaaS platform that helps SEO professionals, agencies, and businesses monitor the status of their backlinks after they've been acquired. In SEO, building backlinks requires significant time, effort, and investment. However, one of the biggest challenges is that backlinks are not permanent. A backlink can be removed, changed from dofollow to nofollow, redirected to a different page, or disappear entirely if the referring page is deleted or deindexed. These changes often happen without the website owner's knowledge, leaving SEO teams with inaccurate backlink reports and campaigns that quietly lose value over time. Today, many agencies and businesses still rely on manual backlink checks or spreadsheets to verify whether backlinks remain active. This process is slow, repetitive, difficult to scale, and prone to human error, especially when managing hundreds or thousands of backlinks across multiple websites and clients. SEO Link Monitor automates this entire workflow. The platform continuously monitors backlinks and detects important changes, including removed links, changes to link attributes, destination URL updates, anchor text modifications, redirects, broken pages, and referring page indexing status. Instead of manually reviewing every backlink, users receive accurate insights through a centralized dashboard, allowing them to identify issues quickly and take action before those changes impact their SEO performance. Our goal is to make backlink monitoring as essential and reliable as backlink acquisition itself. We believe SEO professionals shouldn't have to guess whether the links they've invested in are still delivering value. By providing continuous visibility into backlink health, SEO Link Monitor helps agencies and businesses protect their link-building investment, improve campaign transparency, and make more informed SEO decisions.

PathPilot is building an AI Career Companion to help people navigate and optimize their careers in the age of AI. As AI transforms the workforce—displacing millions of roles while creating entirely new ones—most people are left without a clear path forward. Career tools today are outdated, generic, and not built for a world where skills shift every year and job titles evolve overnight. At PathPilot, we're creating a personalized AI assistant that acts like a coach, strategist, resume writer, and accountability partner—all in one. Powered by LLMs, vector databases, and fine-tuned models, our product gives people real-time support on everything from goal setting and job discovery to interview prep and upskilling. We’ve secured 7-figures in non-dilutive funding, formed key partnerships across workforce innovation and education, and are now building with real users. Our go-to-market is B2B2C, and our mission is simple: help millions of people grow, adapt, and thrive in a rapidly changing world of work. If you’re excited by fast iteration, deep tech, and making a lasting human impact—we’d love to connect.

We are looking to create a complete team to launch the platform in its lightest version first. The work and money are minimal for the enormous scalability we have. Join our team, we'll be great!

Mickai builds MICKAI, a Sovereign Intelligence Operating System (SIOS): AI that regulated organisations own and run inside their own walls, offline, on hardware they control. Where mainstream AI rents you someone else's model, on someone else's cloud, under someone else's rules, we move all three inside your perimeter. We have built it. Instead of one monolithic model, a cooperative substrate of specialist brains that reach consensus before any sensitive action. Every action is written to a tamper-evident, cryptographically signed, post-quantum Open Audit Record you can verify offline for years. Sensitive actions are voice-biometric gated and reversible, keyed to hardware the operator holds. On top of it we have built the everyday tools a business runs on, email, CRM, help desk, collaboration, finance and more, as 87 studios of private, on-device AI. We launch with ten; the rest follow in sequence. The architecture is protected by 104 filed UK patent applications across 2,340 claims, owned outright. We serve defence, finance, government, healthcare and other regulated sectors that cannot send their data to the public cloud. We are a small, fast, deeply technical team, hiring the people who will help us define the category.
