What Investors Get
Proven technology — working product with live demo, not a prototype
Massive market — $900M+ already invested in the category
Regulatory moat — GDPR/DORA pushing enterprises to on-premise
Capital efficient — 85–90% gross margins, low burn rate
Clear path to €1M+ ARR in 3 years
Exit comparables — Cognigy ($955M), Parloa ($3B valuation)
Key Risks & Mitigations
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Long enterprise sales cycles | Founding customer discounts, live demo as conversion tool, target mid-market first |
| Solo founder risk | Product already built; funding enables hiring sales/support |
| Competition from Parloa/Cognigy | They target $100K+ deals; we win on price and speed |
| Customer churn | 12-month minimum contracts; high switching costs (on-premise deployment) |
| Hardware supply (GPU shortages) | Current setup works; 5090 upgrade is optimization, not requirement |
| Technology risk (LLM quality) | Multiple LLM backends supported; cloud APIs as fallback |
Milestones
