The Solution: Psychological Intelligence

We use Jungian archetypes and AI-driven research to determine compatibility BEFORE outreach begins.

The Hunter Pathway

For advisors building from scratch. We use public data signals (job changes, funding rounds) combined with psychological profiling to identify high-compatibility prospects.

The Gatherer Pathway

For established advisors. We analyze client social networks to uncover warm referral opportunities that match the advisor's specific archetype.

Investor FAQ

What are the deal terms?
We're raising $1.8M on a SAFE note with a 25% discount. Minimum investment is $50,000. The round provides 18 months of runway to hit enterprise launch milestones. Full terms and cap table are available in the data room.
What stage is the product?
The MVP is live and operational at rainmakerapp.io. It has been validated through beta testing with advisors across experience levels — from 18-month rookies to 15-year veterans — all reporting measurable improvement. 100% of testers report improvement over their previous methods. The seed round funds the transition from validated MVP to enterprise-scale production platform.
How defensible is the technology?
132 patent claims filed with the USPTO with zero prior art — covering our psychological matching algorithm, archetype inference system, and compatibility scoring methodology. Combined with 40+ years of proprietary domain expertise and a 35M+ personality combinations data moat, the barrier to entry is substantial. No competing product combines AI, psychology, and advisor-specific workflows.
What does pricing look like?
Three tiers: Professional at $197/month ($2,364/year) for solo advisors, Team at $499/month ($5,988/year) for 2-5 advisors, and Enterprise at $99-$1,188/seat for 10+ advisors with dedicated onboarding. Unit economics are strong: 7:1 LTV/CAC improving to 14:1+ at scale, 73-93% gross margins, and <5% annual churn.
What is the path to profitability?
Year 1 is a planned investment phase ($1.1M revenue, -$114K EBITDA). We reach profitability in Year 2 ($4.3M revenue, 41% margin) and scale to $60.6M revenue with 86% EBITDA margin by Year 5. Even at 50% of plan, we deliver $25M EBITDA. The full financial model with assumptions is in the data room.
What is the go-to-market strategy?
Dual approach: (1) Top-down enterprise sales to broker-dealers and RIA aggregators — we're already in discussions with major wirehouses including a structured Morgan Stanley POC. (2) Bottom-up direct-to-advisor acquisition leveraging the founder's 300,000+ advisor email list, 5,000+ LinkedIn connections, and a 40,000-advisor professional network. The founder built $100M+ training programs at the major wirehouses — these are existing relationships, not cold outreach.
