In 2022, I made a decision that would reshape everything. 

I traded routine for the road, comfort zones for curiosity. Since then, that little red bag has followed me through more than 30 countries across 6 continents (Antarctica, I see you) and each passport stamp has been a chapter in this wildly beautiful story.

And Africa? She’s calling louder than ever. I’m just getting started.

The nomadic life isn’t just about movement.  It’s about meaning, connection, and discovering new versions of yourself in every city, coast, and conversation.

If you're reading this and feeling that quiet tug to explore, to shift, to leap... consider this your sign.

Out of curiosity, I asked AI to generate my ideal boyfriend… hahaha😂

Did AI nail it?

I used to think my BOREDOM  was a bug. I finally realized it’s my superpower. 

Throughout my career, across real estate, building, and process engineering, I noticed a pattern: 

I’d join an industry, master the skill set, hit cruise control, and then… I’d get bored.

I’d hit a ceiling where the work stopped itching the scratch.

I thought I was just restless. 

Then I found AI and Blockchain.

For the last 5 years in Blockchain and 3 years in AI, I haven't been able to keep up. 

And that is exactly why I love it.

I’m constantly exposed to founders building the "impossible" across gaming, privacy, cloud infrastructure, and agentic economies. Every conversation is a masterclass. 

Every day is a Day 1.

People talk about AI being everywhere, but the data tells a different story:

- 84% of the world hasn't even touched AI yet.

- Of the 16% who have, 95% are just using it as a basic chatbot.

- Only 5% are using it to do actual, productive work.

I’m in that 5%. I’ve moved past the chat and into the code, running complex AI agents directly in VS Code.

This is my calling: Taking that Super-Learner energy and helping small-to-medium businesses build customized AI solutions.

Most businesses don't need a chatbot to write a poem; they need an agentic system that solves their specific, messy, real-world problems. 

They need someone who can bridge the gap between I've heard of AI, and AI is running my operations.

If you’re a founder building in the trenches, I’m not just here to consult; I’m here to learn your vertical and build the engine that scales it.

The world is still 84% offline when it comes to AI. Let's change that. 🚀

One thing about me: I love research and structured thinking. 
During my engineering degree, I spent four consecutive years on the Dean’s List, consistently top of my class and leading major projects. 

That experience trained me to separate signal from noise and act on what actually works.

Lately, I’ve been deep in research mode.

Figuring out the best AI tools, software, and programming approaches to learn, and just as importantly, what not to learn.

I’ve been experimenting heavily with tools like Claude Code and n8n.

Claude Code has been a game-changer. For the first time, I can design and build process-driven systems with code without needing to manually write every line. 

As long as you understand what the system is doing, you can build powerful workflows.

Alongside that, n8n feels like having a small automated workforce, connecting tools, automating processes, and creating intelligent workflows.

So for the past few months, I’ve been privately experimenting with:

- File structures and project setup

- Workflow automation

- Containerization and environments

- Building clean interfaces for AI-powered tools

It’s a massive puzzle but an incredibly exciting one.

Now I’m moving from learning → application.

If you're a founder or business owner interested in integrating AI into your workflows, I’d love to connect and explore ideas.

We’re still early in this wave, and the possibilities are mind-blowing. 🚀

I'm Keira, curious kiwi, and for the last five years I've been working inside venture capital and blockchain, sitting across the table from founders building at the absolute cutting edge of technology.

I've seen what's coming before most people even know to look for it.

Miss AI is how I share that.

Through honest, human conversations about AI, the most life-changing technology of our time, I want to make this world feel accessible, inspiring, and normal for everyone. 

Not just the builders and investors, Everyone.

Because the future isn't something that happens to us. It's something we can all be part of if someone just takes the time to explain it without the jargon, the hype, or the fear.

That's what I'm here to do.

My name is MISS AI, and this is my MISSION STATEMENT

To make the future feel less scary and more possible.

Tell me about you

Last year, I spent a month with Founders in Fuel's Retreat in Costa Rica.

One of the most prominent questions that I got asked was "What makes a Founder Fundable"?  

Steal my  6-step checklist that got 3 Founders funded and how I'd score you today. (Copy This)


🔶 Massive unfair advantage (their #1 bet)  

I guess you have heard this several times from me: VCs don't fund ideas, they fund you.  

Show 3+ years grinding this problem + a moat they can't replicate.  

Deck line: I've sold $2M solving this since 2021.
 
Case: Founder A went from polite NO to $2.2M after leading with no-code AI expertise.


🔶  Real revenue, not almost ($10K+ MRR min)
  
No traction = no term sheet. Show 3 months, 20%+ MoM growth.
  
Screenshot your Stripe. Hit $17K MRR from X threads. Scaling 10x.
 
Truth: 80% of Series A founders had revenue pre-pitch.


🔶 100 obsessed fans (not followers)

Discord of 100 people who've pre-paid? Instant credibility.  


🔶 10x better on ONE metric

Speed, cost, retention. Pick your lane, own it.  

7x cheaper than [competitor] for the same outcome.

Case: Founder B crushed with 90% retention vs industry 40%. Table it.


🔶 Day 1 vs Day 1000 vision 
 
What ships in 90 days + 3-year endgame. Both or bust.  

Slide 4: 90 days: $50K MRR. Year 3: $50M ARR, 20% market.


🔶 Strategic angels already in ($150K+)
 
Checks from exited founders = VC green light.  

Raised $180K from 3 eight-figure exits. Intros ready.
  
Result: Diligence 4x faster.


🔶 Pitch like you're already at $100M
 
No begging. Pure confidence. Practice 50x, kill filler words.  

Opener: "Building an AI layer for Web3 creators. $17K MRR. Who's in?"


Your Scorecard (Be Honest)
- [ ] $10K+ MRR  
- [ ] 100+ raving fans  
- [ ] 3+ years unfair edge  
- [ ] 10x metric edge  
- [ ] Angels committed  

3+ = Fundable. Under 3? Fix THIS week.

What's your #1 gap? Drop it below👇

Just hit my 5K turnaround on a 10K run‍.

And wow… You can definitely feel it when you haven’t run for a week. 

Late nights, too much fun, disrupted routines,  it all shows up on the road.

Today was tough.

I felt tired. Lethargic. Slower than usual.

But there’s something powerful about showing up anyway.

Not every run will feel great.

Not every day will be your best performance.

But consistency, especially on the days you don’t feel like it, is what builds momentum.

Whether it’s running, building a company, or learning a new skill…

Progress comes from showing up even when it’s uncomfortable.**

And honestly?

It still feels really good to get out there and do it. 💪

An evening bike ride with my stepdad.

Boardwalk. 
Lighthouse in the distance. 
Warm summer air.

As the season slowly changes, I’m reminded how easy it is to overlook these small moments, the quiet conversations, the shared silence, the simple joy of being present.

We spend so much time chasing :

▶️ The next goal

▶️ The next milestone

▶️ The next big thing.

But sometimes, the real wealth is a half-hour ride at sunset with family.

🔶 Grateful for the warmth.

🔶 Grateful for family.

🔶 Grateful for simple evenings.

🔶 Grateful for balance.

🔶 Grateful for time.

🔶 Grateful for moments that don’t need to be big to mean everything.

Three weeks in Japan. 🇯🇵

Tokyo lights. 
City energy. 
Ski trips. 
Parks. 
7-Eleven runs.

Peace signs in front of Mount Fuji (with my hair doing its own thing).

But by the final days, I noticed something: I was tired of the city.

So I took a train a couple of hours out of Tokyo, chasing quiet. Chasing nature. 
Hoping to see Mount Fuji without buildings or traffic in the frame.
I never quite got the perfect photo.

But I got the reset I needed.

Walking through bamboo forests. Visiting temples. Standing in Nara with the deer. Slowing down.

One moment that stayed with me?

A tiny coffee shop run by an elderly man who had been making coffee the same meticulous way for over 60 years.

Japan reminded me that excellence doesn’t have to be loud.
Precision can be quiet.

And sometimes, after chasing bright lights, what you really crave is stillness.

Cities inspire me.

But nature restores me.

What kind of environment brings you back to yourself?

Happy new month, Frens - This is MARCH

In 2026, everyone is talking about AI. 

But very few are sitting down to architect Multi-Agentic Systems ecosystems where AI agents don't just "talk to you, but work with each other to solve complex, multi-step business problems

I’ve known about Multi-Agentic systems for over a year. But there is a massive difference between knowing and building,

For the past year, my focus was external. I was traveling, networking, and supporting the MH Ventures portfolio.

I saw the tech coming, I understood the whitepapers, and I watched the trends.

But knowing a revolution is happening is one thing. 

Giving yourself the space, the energy, and the focus to actually master the tools is another.

It took a conscious decision to clear my plate and say: This is where I put my full focus.

The result? I’ve moved from high-level advisory to deep-level development.

I’m no longer just aware of what AI can do for a business; I’m in the code, building the actual infrastructure that makes it happen.

To my fellow founders - The awareness phase of AI is over. 

We are now in the execution phase. 

If you aren't giving yourself the space to truly learn these systems, you're leaving the most powerful leverage in history on the table.

I'm deep in the lab now. And I can't wait to show you what happens when you stop watching the tech and start directing it. 🚀

Taranaki with my dad, 

how do you touch Grass?

Some wins from last week:

🔶 Onboarded my first client

I’m helping them build an automated workflow in the construction industry, which has been exciting to dive into.

 Seeing how AI and automation can streamline real-world operations is incredibly rewarding.

🔶 Recorded three new DealFlow podcast episodes

1️⃣ A guest from one of the largest venture capital firms in the U.S., someone involved in 10+ billion-dollar exits and who has advised 200+ startups.

2️⃣ A brilliant founder building privacy infrastructure for AI agents, a problem that will become increasingly important as AI agents scale.

3️⃣ A top Silicon Valley lawyer from one of the leading law firms in the ecosystem.

Each conversation brought a different perspective on venture, startups, and the future of AI.

These discussions keep me inspired and help me stay close to what’s actually happening across the startup ecosystem.

More reflections from last week in my next post

Happy Chinese New Year 🧧 

Wishing you prosperity and good fortune ❤️

This year we channel Horse Energy -> It's time to move fast, ship louder, and stay free. 

Momentum is the strategy.

#chinesenewyear #yearofthehorse #gongxifacai #ai

This week, I closed my first content creation project with Perplexity 

And I just landed another content role with an AI company, creating short reels to test their product.

Two massive wins.
For a while, I wondered if short-form content was too small to matter.
Turns out… It’s not.
It’s time-consuming.

It takes real effort.

But it’s also where I have the most fun.

Where I get to experiment.

Where creativity actually flows.

And the most surprising part?

People are watching. Consistently.

So this is a reminder to myself:

🔶 Keep creating.
🔶 Keep showing up.
🔶  Keep leaning into what feels natural.

To everyone who watches, likes, comments on, or shares my short videos, thank you.

I’ve been playing with AI..........Now I want to build with AI.

For months, I’ve experimented with everything.
Chatbots.
AI videos.
Images.
Brand voices.

Cool? Yes.
Useful? Sometimes.

But I kept feeling like I was skimming the surface.

Now that I’m back home in Tauranga, something clicked.
So many small and medium businesses know AI exists.

-They’ve heard the buzz.
-They’ve seen ChatGPT.
-But they don’t know:

How to use it.
Where it fits.
Or how to set it up in a way that actually makes them money.

And that’s the gap I want to step into.
Not just “Miss AI” who talks about tools.
But someone who builds customised AI solutions that solve real workflow problems.

So I’m going deeper.

🔶 I’ve been learning Claude Code, running it through VS Studio, and experimenting with building small internal tools. If you can write code, you can build tailored solutions. And that’s powerful.

This week’s goal?
-Build a tool that:
-Takes a meeting transcript
-Analyzes a business’s workflow (real estate, construction, etc.)
-Identifies where AI can create leverage
-Suggests practical, custom solutions

Instead of guessing where AI fits, I want the data to show it.
I’ll be building this in public.

Documenting the confusion.
The overstimulation.
The learning curve.
The small wins.

Because honestly?
It feels like drinking from a firehose.
But it also feels like the right direction.
Less hype.
More depth.
More real-world usefulness.

If you’re a small business owner curious about AI but unsure where to start, I’d love to talk.

Another thing been working on recently is building a personal dashboard to stay accountable

The idea is simple:

Record daily voice notes, store them in one place, and turn those thoughts into ideas, reflections, or content later.

It’s intentionally designed to be:

• Private

• Productive

• ADHD-friendly

• Dyslexia-friendly

For now, it’s just a personal system to help me stay organised, track ideas, and stay locked in. 

But who knows maybe one day it becomes something public.

I also launched my website, and spent time catching up with several MH Ventures portfolio founders.

Those conversations were fascinating because they showed the full spectrum of startup reality:

• Some founders are nearing the end of their runway, urgently searching for new capital.

• Some have pivoted completely from what they were building six months ago.

• Others are doubling down and generating strong revenue.

It’s a powerful reminder that the startup journey is rarely linear.

Lots of learning, lots of conversations, and lots of building.

A lot of the founders who raised before you aren't necessarily building better products.

They’re just a lot louder.

That’s one of the truths about the VC world in 2026 that most founders don't want to accept.

The best tech doesn't always get the cheque.

The most visible founder gets the cheque.

That’s true in Silicon Valley, in San Francisco, on LinkedIn, and basically everywhere.

You think these Celebrity Founders are 10x better at shipping code?

Absolutely not.

They are 10x better at shipping stories.

They’ve turned themselves into a Distribution Channel, and investors are writing cheques to buy into that noise.

January 2026 was a wakeup call: $1.4B was invested in crypto, but the number of deals dropped by 30%.

The money is there, but the "tourist" VCs have left the building. If you’re raising today, you aren't fighting for dollars, you’re fighting for conviction.

The 4 Doors to Capital in 2026:

🔶 Revenue-Based Financing (RBF): This is the year of the "Non-Dilutive Flex." If your MRR is consistent, stop selling equity. Borrow against your future revenue and keep your cap table clean. Repayment scales with your growth.

🔶 Corporate Strategic Partnerships: Massive players (especially in AI and Fintech) are hunting for "Industry-Specific" solutions. They don't just give you a check; they give you their distribution network and their data.

🔶 Community-Led Equity Crowdfunding: In a trust-starved market, your users are your best VCs. Platforms like Republic and SeedInvest are seeing a surge because "customer-owners" have higher retention and zero "institutional dump" risk.

🔶 Milestone-Based VC Rounds: The "Big Check" is dead. Professional investors are now releasing funds in tranches based on performance milestones. They want to see your 5,000-line codebase hold up before they unlock the next million.

Raising money in 2026 feels like a marathon in a storm. It’s exhausting to hear "come back when you have $100k MRR" when you’re just trying to keep your dev team fed.

Build for the customer's pain. When your product is so useful that people must pay for it, the "selective" checks will find you.
