Tech founder looking for a non-tech founder. Building AI agents for one vertical. One paying client ($4m, skincare brand) already live.

Quick context on where i am. I build AI agents that take over the repetitive operational work inside a business.

Right now i have one agent live for a ~$4m skincare brand in India. It handles about 90% of their AP 3-way match. It is in production and doing real work daily. Automated the work of 4 humans, each doing 4hr work daily! The team is very happy with the work and we already have 2 workflows in discussion to be automated (started development on one last week).

The plan from here is to go deep on one vertical. Nail a handful of use cases, then build a whole stack of agents for that same vertical and own it properly. That seems to be the only moat right now given the advancement of AI!

I am a tech founder, and am confident that I can build anything. But one thing that i cannot do is sell!! And hence am looking for someone who can do that.

About me:

  • ~2 decades of pure tech, from linux kernel development all the way to building AI agents today
  • built 3 products from scratch that eventually got acquired, and 3 others that did not work out (learned more from those actually)
  • confident building anything on the tech side
  • i will own tech / team / product end to end

Who i am looking for:

  • someone who can own the entire business side, the sales / marketing / and the ops that comes with it
  • someone who knows the ins and outs of his vertical
  • someone with a few high-profile connects, so we can close some early deals

The early-deals part matters a lot, if we can get a few big customers initially, its easy to convince the mid-market/smb.

Open to negotiate on salary/equity.

If this sounds interesting (or if you have any advice for me), please drop a comment or DM me.

Looking for blog writer for Agentic Automation company

Ok, so we build Automation Agents for mid-market/enterprise businesses, mostly the repetitive back-office work like invoice-to-GRN matching, purchase order processing, and the monthly reports that someone in finance currently rebuilds by hand.

We are looking for a writer who can cover this for our blog. The one thing I care about more than anything is that the writing should not read like AI slop. I am sure you know what i mean.

If you have published some work, please send two or three pieces, ideally something in B2B, SaaS. If not and you dont have a portfolio yet, that is completely fine. Write me a short post, maybe 400 to 600 words, on AP three-way match for a consumer brand. (Its the process of matching a purchase order, a goods receipt, and a supplier invoice before anyone gets paid.) Pick an angle, make it readable, and send it over.

Hi, I'm an agentic AI workflow specialist (Claude, n8n, etc) looking to add a few real business case studies to my portfolio. So I'm offering to build one automation completely free for a small business or Shopify store owner who actually needs it.

What I can automate for you:

  • Shopify: Abandoned cart follow-ups, order tagging, inventory alerts, post-purchase review requests
  • Lead & CRM workflows: Auto-qualify leads, route to Notion/Sheets/HubSpot, trigger follow-up emails
  • Customer support: AI-powered first-response bots, ticket triage, FAQ automation
  • Reporting: Auto-pull weekly sales/marketing data into a clean dashboard or Slack digest
  • Anything repetitive: you or your team does manually every week

Tools I work with: Claude AI (Anthropic), n8n, Make.com, Zapier, REST APIs, Webhooks, Notion, Airtable, Google Workspace

What I'm asking in return:

  • A honest testimonial if it actually helps you
  • Permission to use it (anonymised) as a case study
  • That's genuinely it.

Drop a comment or DM me with:

  1. What your business does
  2. One process that eats your time or drives you crazy

I'll tell you honestly if I can automate it and what it would look like.

P.S: Not trying to upsell you into anything. Just genuinely help businesses automate their mundane tasks.
