IntroHub

IntroHub is an AI Agent that brokers introductions to your target contacts through other members' contacts. Here's how it works:

• Users sign-up with a Google Apps account, granting IntroHub access to email metadata and send permissions.

• Users identify their target prospects from available filters, such as job titles, industries, regions, etc. 

• IntroHub automatically identifies and requests intros on your behalf to relevant contacts via another member. 

• As a member, you don't need to review or approve introduction requests. Instead, IntroHub's AI Agent emails the target contact, seeking their consent when someone wants an introduction. This ensures all connections are mutually agreed upon without overloading you with requests.

• IntroHub keeps your network spam-free. Approval requests are limited to once every 7 days per contact, and you can customize this setting to better suit your preferences.

BrandWeaver.ai

BrandWeaver is a GenAI-powered platform that helps publishers unlock new ad revenue by weaving personalized product placements directly into their editorial content. Here's how it works:

• BrandWeaver analyzes a publisher’s existing content and generates brand-aligned ad copy that matches the article’s tone, topic, and audience. 

• Using a lightweight JavaScript tag, BrandWeaver dynamically inserts the AI-generated content blocks into the page—creating seamless, non-intrusive ad placements.

• Each placement is contextually relevant and personalized, increasing reader engagement while preserving the editorial experience.

• Publishers maintain full control: BrandWeaver offers content review tools, styling options, and A/B testing capabilities to fine-tune performance.

• All campaigns are tracked with impression logs, engagement data, and revenue reports. Our prompt evaluation system ensures outputs improve over time based on performance data and publisher feedback.

BrandWeaver turns GenAI into a monetization engine, helping publishers scale inventory without interrupting their readers.

Pre-professional Software/Hardware Engineer

R&D lab for publishers experimenting with generative AI

Authentic and enthusiastic product leader with a proven track record of taking products from idea stage to millions in sales.

Currently in discovery mode, looking for my next adventure in ML/AI. Feeling blessed to be an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at my hometown university, where I can give back to the local startup community.

Previously co-founded a B2B SaaS company, where I envisioned and built a marketing technology product from mock-up to its first million in revenue in less than 12 months. I grew that startup until it was acquired by a strategic buyer, where I led product development for its ABM division.

My success stems from these principles:
* Persistently focus on ambitious goals. 
* Be a doer and inspire others into action by leading from the front. 
* Deplore and trim inefficiency in all things. 
* Communicate persuasively. 
* Prepare for interactions, never "wing it."
* Be calm in turbulent environments.

Creditors and Debt Settlement Companies in the same room? It finally happened.

This week I was a fly on the wall at a historic roundtable with lenders, creditors, and debt settlement companies -- groups that rarely, if ever, sit down together.

I was there as an AI technologist, listening to decades-old perceptions, operational bottlenecks, and hard truths exchanged openly across the table.

Two friction points kept surfacing:

1. Strategic default:  the concern that consumers might stop paying just to qualify for settlement.

2. Transparency: creditors not knowing when, or if, they’ll see payment.

From the DSC Side, they shared the brutal unit economics: manual sales, hand-crafted negotiations, and phone support put servicing at roughly $800-$1000 per customer per year, which is why most firms won’t touch <$20k debt and why fees hover around ~25% of enrolled balances.

Sometimes the biggest step forward starts with just being in the same room...

How would you bring both sides together in service of the consumer?
