We’re building Lumo, the first AI-native operating system for TikTok Shop. Our mission is simple: replace the manual chaos of affiliate marketing with a fully autonomous growth engine. Today, brands and agencies waste hundreds of hours each month on fragmented tools, spreadsheets, and DMs,struggling with messy creator outreach, outdated briefs, slow sample fulfilment, and scattered performance data. Even when campaigns work, momentum stalls because there’s no system to recycle what’s winning. Lumo solves this by acting as a performance brain for social commerce. Our OS automates every step of the affiliate lifecycle: Creator Radar finds and qualifies high-GMV creators from a 3M+ profile database, enriched with live TikTok data. AI Outreach Hub sends personalised DMs and emails at scale, automating follow-ups and boosting creator response rates. Smart Brief Generator turns SKU inputs into trend-informed, compliance-checked content briefs aligned to TikTok’s fast-moving formats. Pearformance Tracker centralises GMV, CTR, ROAS, and other data,scoring campaign health in real time. Creator Flywheel recycles top campaigns, creators, and briefs into ongoing growth loops instead of one-off wins. AI Autopilot continuously optimises budgets, commissions etc, making real-time decisions like a strategist would,only faster. We’re building this because TikTok Shop is exploding ($20B+ GMV in 2024, doubling again by 2026), yet native tools are lagging. Competitors like Reacher and Euka prove demand (Reacher hit $2M ARR in year one), but they’re focused on point solutions. Lumo is different: it’s the full-stack OS, fusing automation with intelligence. Our edge comes from being both a TikTok Shop Partner agency (running £500K+ monthly GMV for brands) and a product company. That means our models are trained on ground-truth campaign data, giving us operational resilience and predictive accuracy no outside tool can match.

Warden is an early-stage B2B SaaS startup, but not the boring kind. We're nimble and growing fast in the Shared Living space, where we help coliving & student housing operators to automate and manage their properties. We do this with a two-headed product - an end-to-end admin panel used by property admins to manage hundreds of properties, and a simpler resident app used by thousands of residents. As industry experts and technology partners, we introduce automation to their manual workflows, plug revenue leakages, and remove inefficiencies. When we onboard our clients we make sure our product as a solution is customized to their needs and is implemented properly. ___________ Real Estate is one of the last frontiers of humanity to still be operated manually. The industry is troubled by manual management and poor living experience. In the last few years, the winds of an experience era have started disrupting the industry. Warden is an effort towards the same. We dream of a world where a good living experience paints and automation repairs the real estate industry with digital renovation.

Art of Sports is building the AI operating system for ballet and dance studios across Europe. The foundation is 12 years of operating ballet studios in Germany: a Vaganova-certified methodology, students placed at two of Germany's top ballet academies (John Cranko School Stuttgart, Staatliche Ballettschule Berlin), and firsthand knowledge of what studios, teachers, parents and kids actually need. What we're building, in order: a structured digital curriculum (12 years of methodology turned into machine-readable content, tagged by exercise, level, terminology, errors and corrections), a Voice-AI layer for hands-free retrieval mid-class, large-format LED screens as the central teaching tool, and from year 2 the hard part: real-time AI movement correction for children learning ballet. Why now: pose estimation has become fast and reliable, but everyone is pointing it at home fitness mirrors and rep counting. Nobody has combined it with real pedagogy. Studio software today manages schedules and payments; it doesn't teach. The teaching layer, content, correction, progression, is empty space, and it's where the value sits. The methodology is the product; the technology is the delivery. Our wedge is the kids segment, an underserved niche in Europe, delivered B2B through studios: 7,450+ potential installations across dance, martial arts, kids fitness and school markets. The pilot studio launches in Frankfurt on August 15, 2026. LED manufacturer partnership talks are active, grant applications (EIC Accelerator, Creative Europe) are in progress. Honest stage: pre-funding. The methodology, the pilot and the partner pipeline are the assets. The platform gets built now, and we're looking for the founding CTO to build it.
