Seeking Co-founders 🤝 to democratize biz intel

Market: Business Intelligence (BI) adoption is in merely 26% organizations globally, and much lower in small businesses. From $8.8bn in 2020, market is forecasted to reach $43.03bn in 2028. Further, Consulting as we know it is a subjective, politics heavy, internally-focused exercise, with only half of 92% 'successful Consultants' rehired by their client on a new project.

Solution validation: When a news article reported a shutdown of 9667 small firms in India, I championed on LinkedIn for using BI for capability building, got interest from Directors of small manufacturing firms (Laminates, auto parts, textiles, etc.), delivered BI reports + introduced retired domain experts to close the capability gaps. So I have a grip on how to get minimum requirements done smartly and want someone excited to take it to the next level together!

MVP: A 'Virtual Business Analyst & Executive Assistant' for Small & Medium Business Leaders - using financial analysis & domain expertise of retirees - to help them take better decisions. It impacts society by helping retirees develop human capital of their old domains with better technology, and helping SMBs build capabilities sustainably. It helped reach min required UI & database arch. Further possibilities in industry events, drone surveys, business matchmaking, etc. are tremendous.

Traction: 5/5 'Seniorlancers' talked to are interested and assured they will bring SMEs on to the business intelligence web-app from own networks. Also 2/2 SMEs readily agreed to platform membership along with a series of recession-proofing industry talks. Further, by talking about using Business Intelligence for Capability growth, I've grown ~70 LinkedIn followers among retirees & directors in 3 months.

Game-plan: Market is poorly served currently, retirees networks and recession buzz are helpful. Seek Founding Team members to face problems & take decisions with, fuse more soft/ hardware tech (think: senior work-pods, etc.) and be an equal partner in the journey. We'll work well if you are:

  • curious: to comprehend macro-eco, regions, sectors, competition, etc.
  • conscientious: to genuinely help users who maybe worried about recession

What I bring:

  1. I stretch limits and put in hard work. In my professional journey I've molded from architect, to intrapreneur, to entrepreneur. Its helped me imbibe human-centric design, continuous improvements and consultative selling.
  2. I've done business analysis and investment management roles for ~6yrs and branding, sales for 4yrs. I'll take up sales, events, partnerships, business dev, fundraise if any gap there after we connect
  3. Releasing resources, blogs soon and want your inputs on product manifesto.
  4. Built some following in target audience (retirees, directors) in 3mths.
