What will we build together?
awaken
co-intelligence
Your business holds more intelligence than it can currently use. We build the systems that awaken it. AI that knows your data, thinks with your team, and guides your users.
Your data stays yours.
I asked a career platform if they used AI to guide their users. They said no — just forms. But their data already held every answer. It just couldn't speak yet.
The intelligence is already inside your business. We awaken it.

Your data is too valuable
for ChatGPT.
Your proprietary knowledge, your team's expertise, your years of pattern recognition. None of it is available to generic AI. And it shouldn't be. That data is your moat.
The problem isn't that AI can't access your data. The problem is that YOUR USERS can't access it either. They land on your platform, scroll static pages, and leave. The intelligence that would guide them to exactly what they need is locked behind forms and filters.
ChatGPT gives generic answers to everyone. Your AI, built on your data, gives the right answer to the person standing in front of you.
That's the difference between
artificial intelligence and co-intelligence.
Three narratives about AI.
Only one is ours.
“AI replaces your team.”
We reject this. Nobody’s job disappears. The human IS the intelligence.
“Here are AI tools.”
Tools without your context are noise. ChatGPT doesn’t know your data.
“Your intelligence already exists. Let’s awaken it.”
This is what we do. We don’t import intelligence from the outside. We activate what’s already inside.
We call this co-intelligence. Human knowledge plus AI capability, working on shared proprietary data, producing something neither can do alone. The human stays central. Not because AI isn't good enough, but because the human IS the source.
Your data stays yours.
Your best intelligence is invisible
Years of proprietary knowledge, pricing, outcomes, expert judgment. None of it is in the experience your users have. They can’t access what makes you valuable.
Users expect guidance. You give them search.
The gap between how people need help and how your platform delivers it is where you lose them. Filters and forms don’t capture intent. Conversation does.
Leads arrive interested and leave confused
Between landing on your site and getting the guidance they need, your user has already gone to a competitor. Or worse, to ChatGPT, which gives them a generic answer that doesn’t know what you know.
Your team qualifies by hand
Two-thirds can’t afford your product. The ones who can are in a consideration phase, not sure what they need yet. AI handles triage so your team talks to people who are ready.
Two services. One core capability.
We build systems that awaken the intelligence your business already has. Here's what that looks like.
Service A
AI Advisor on Your Data
Users describe what they need. Your AI advisor, trained on your data, guides them to the right match. Captures intent, budget, timeline, fit. Not a chatbot. A product.
For directory and database businesses
Service B
AI Pipeline: From Lead to Close
AI qualifies every lead before a human touches it. Budget, fit, readiness, all captured in conversation. Your team calls with full context. Not cold.
For companies losing deals between marketing and sales
Diagnose
We map your data and workflows. Find where AI creates the most value.
Consolidate
Unify your proprietary data into an AI intelligence layer. Structured and enriched.
Build
Qualification engines, conversational advisors, automated handoffs. Systems that think with your business.

Fedor Sokolov
Founder
In 90 days, working solo with AI, I built four products from scratch: an intelligence engine that processes 544 NYC events per week from 7 automated scrapers, a media publication with 671K+ organic views, a consumer app with 189 phone-verified founding members, and an artist-led experience business with 8 packages ready to sell.
That same approach powers Relevant Venture Studio. Find where AI creates the most value, build a working system, prove it with real users. Most recent build: Career Karma connects career changers with tech bootcamps. Took their platform and rebuilt the core product into a conversational AI advisor. 6 school partners committed, school partners paying for AI-qualified leads. One partner invited me to speak at their graduation.
Before this: 50+ startups across 15+ countries through the studio. Guest lecturer at MIT Sloan on venture studio models and conversion funnels. Led new market entry programs generating ~$781K in revenue for Korean startups entering the US market.
