How we’re building Vortex IQ to deliver category‑defining impact — and venture‑scale outcomes.

The VC Math

Venture capital is a game of outliers. Investors back 20–30 companies per fund knowing only a handful will return the fund.

For a startup, that means:

• Growing fast enough to capture a large, defensible market share
• Building a product that can scale without linear increases in cost
• Creating a moat strong enough to keep competitors from catching up

From day one, we’ve built Vortex IQ with these fundamentals in mind.

1. We’re Playing in a Massive Market

The global AI‑driven automation market is projected to exceed $37.7B by 2032 (Coherent Market Insights).
Within that, SME e‑commerce is one of the most underserved but fastest‑growing segments.

Our Trusted AI Agent Builder turns natural language into secure, role‑specific digital workers that automate real workflows across commerce, marketing, operations, and analytics.

• Addressable market: Every business with repeatable digital tasks and an internet connection
• Our wedge: SME e‑commerce (5.3M businesses in the UK alone), then expanding cross‑vertical

2. We’ve Built for Scale from Day One

Our API‑to‑App Builder lets us create integrations with any application, in any sector — without bespoke code each time.

• This means each new integration expands TAM without significant incremental engineering cost
• Digital workers are modular, so we can monetise via verticalised marketplaces (e.g., agents for legal, healthcare, finance)

The result? Non‑linear growth potential — revenue can scale much faster than headcount.

3. We Have Early Proof Points

We’ve already demonstrated:

• 40+ hours/week saved for SME customers using our digital workers
• £200K+ in documented annual savings for a national retail brand
• SEO, DevOps, and image optimisation agents deployed across 1,000+ SKUs with measurable ROI

Wins in competitive arenas: Fetch AI Innovation Lab, Coral Protocol Hackathon, TechCrunch 200, Raise Summit Top 100

4. Our Moat Strengthens Over Time

Every digital worker deployment increases:

• Platform stickiness — Agents are embedded in workflows customers rely on daily
• Data network effects — Aggregated, anonymised execution patterns improve agent performance
• Integration depth — The more APIs we support deeply, the harder it is for competitors to replicate our breadth + trust layer

We’ve also designed trust as a feature — approvals, rollback, audit logs — solving the adoption barrier that keeps many SMEs from touching AI automation.

5. We’re Capital Efficient (Without Slowing Growth)

• Early revenue from pilots and paying customers
• Combined equity and non‑dilutive funding (Innovate UK grants, hackathon prizes)
• Lean senior team capable of delivering enterprise‑grade output without large headcount
• Burn multiple optimised for long runway and investor leverage

This means more of each funding round goes into growth and market capture, not catching up on product debt.

6. The Team Is Built for Venture‑Scale Execution

• Jaiganesh V (CTO, ex‑Yahoo) – 20+ years in enterprise engineering and AI/ML systems architecture
• Sambit Patra (CEO) – 500+ UK projects delivered, deep e‑commerce and automation expertise
• Shubhranshu R (COO, IIT Kharagpur) – 20+ years in operations and scale‑up execution

AI and product specialists from Dell, Dyson, and Canadian AI research programmes

7. Clear Path to a £100M+ Outcome

Our growth roadmap is designed to:

1. Dominate SME e‑commerce automation in the UK within 24 months
2. Expand into adjacent verticals (e.g., retail supply chain, financial services)
3. Monetise the agent marketplace with both proprietary and third‑party digital workers
4. Scale internationally with platform‑led distribution

We’re not building a “feature” — we’re building the agentic automation infrastructure SMEs will run on for the next decade.

Final Word

Vortex IQ is not just a product — it’s a platform with venture‑scale upside:

• Large and expanding TAM
• Scalable unit economics
• High retention and defensibility
• Proven early traction
• Capital‑efficient growth strategy

For the right VC partner, this is the opportunity to back a category‑defining company at the moment the market is shifting towards trusted, role‑specific AI automation.
