Big news for ArgoIQ today:

ArgoIQ has been accepted into the Forum Ventures accelerator.

It comes with an investment, and some awesome people who will be getting in the weeds with us. 

Every person I've met on their team was next level, looking forward to working together to build ArgoIQ into something massive. 

We have some awesome angel investors and Forum and are excited to lead the world of QA for AI driven work. 

We are finishing off our angel round, DM me to talk

If you are a business looking to make AI actually work end to end in your business instead of get halfway, let's talk! 

Time to build Scott Frazier Adam Kerr

Co-Founder @ ArgoIQ - AI for Healthcare Back Office | Previously Co-Founded TRIBE, Helpware & Station Entertainment, Multiple Exits l

What an epic weekend with some amazing humans 

Jackson Hole with 11 entrepreneurs = truly amazing

The conversations, connections, challenges, laughs 

It's what makes TRIBE HQ amazing

If you are an entrepreneur, find your group, be vulnerable, be ready to learn... 

It's what it's all about 

Great times Michelle Penczak Jason Pearl Wayne Hippo Wil D. Albert Steed Michael Calcara Hector Resendez and others

We are finishing off our angel round for ArgoIQ

AI breaks. We solve the last mile. 

We were accepted into an awesome accelerator that comes with investment- announcing soon

We have a wait-list of customers and a lot of hiring to do (seeking automation experts and engineers) 

We have some next level angels already, truly humbled there.

QA for AI outputs is needed for this new age. We are here to solve the AI slop problem to make AI run end to end in businesses. 

If interested, let's chat! Closing the round soon

We are building something that kills AI slop...

Biggest issue right now is adoption of AI mainly for one reason: it breaks. 

Trust erodes and then people lean away. 

What's funny is how many VCs believe that AGI and AI will solve this problem itself over time. 

Our thesis is contrarian in that someone needs to QA the AI outputs.

We believe human in the loop and humans working with AI is the future. 

It's one thing to believe it, it's another to have a wait-list of customers for it. 

If you want to talk shop about what we are building at Argo IQ, let's do it!

TRIBE HQ is hiring for a part time sales role

TRIBE gets too many leads and needs someone to help with them

Ideal for a stay at home parent with an extra 15 hours a week

Know anyone?

Let's keep this momentum going, stoked to announce we are bringing on our Lead Engineer at ArgoIQ: 

Patrick Hennessey

A next level engineer who worked with the New York Times, and the man the myth the legend Adam Kerr himself.

Deep knowledge on AI, integrations, reporting, etc. 

We are building Argo into the trust source that allows AI to run from end to end, with humans in the loop to finish the job. 

Big things coming!

We hired a business consultant that charges $2000 for 3 hours

Spoiler: it was worth it. 

Here is what they consulted on so you don't have to pay the $2000:

1. Accountability at all department heads is a must. Do what you say you'll do.
2. Look at why something didn't work, but find solutions for the future. Dont accept bad results. 
3. Hiring and having a pipeline for hiring is the key to winning 
4. Fire bottom performers, the team needs to see that it isn't okay
5. Reward top performers with crazy perks
6. Being late to a meeting is disrespectful 
7. It's about results, not effort
8. Systems are how you scale. It's not about doing the unscalable.
9. Don't promote ppl who haven't been trained as managers, even if they are top performers
10. Companies with attainable goals had much higher growth rates than those who went for goals that were too ambitious. 

Any of these hit? Any that you don't like?

We had over 400 view requests of our deck for Argo IQ

Multiple VC offers came from it, and a bunch of angels jumped onboard

Credit is due to the man, the myth the legend John Lam

If you want to see the deck, lmk

Good design goes a long way! If you need help, John's the guy
