STARTING POINT

Dorje.ai, an ambitious AI startup led by ex-FAANG entrepreneurs, had a vision to revolutionize financial ERP. With cutting-edge technology and industry expertise, they were poised to make waves - if they could turn their complex ideas into a marketable reality.

CATALYST FOR CHANGE

The challenge was immense: transform a technical concept into a funded startup with a market-ready product, all while competing in the fast-paced AI-ERP space. With the clock ticking, Dorje.ai needed to go from idea to launch in record time.

VENTURE BUILD PROCESS

We embarked on a comprehensive venture-building journey with Dorje.ai, focusing on three core strategies:

01 Turning technical vision into intuitive MVP

They knew the vision, but not what product to build. We bridged the gap between complex AI concepts and user-friendly solutions:

  • Crafted a clear product concept and strategy

  • Designed an intuitive user experience

  • Developed a functional product demo and prototype that was speed-validated through in conjunction user interview insights and feedback

All within one month, creating a foundation that secured pre-seed funding and initial customers.

02 Establishing a standout narrative across all touchpoints

We created a compelling, benefit-driven story that resonated with both prospects and VCs:

  • Crafted a clear, impactful value proposition

  • Designed and built a conversion-focused website in just one week

  • Developed messaging that emphasized pain points and solutions

The result? A powerful narrative that attracted organic C-suite signups and got VCs excited about Dorje.ai's potential.

03 Building a complete fundraising conversion journey

We developed a data-driven, iterative approach to fundraising:

  • Crafted compelling narrative and eye-catching pitch materials

  • Designed structured outreach and follow-up strategies

  • Continuously refined the pitch based on investor feedback

This created a coherent, scalable fundraising system primed for success.

THE RESULTS

With a market-ready MVP, compelling narrative, and strategic fundraising approach, Dorje's journey accelerated rapidly:

  • Developed core value proposition and product MVP within one month

  • Launched full e2e website and comprehensive fundraising strategy

  • Secured pre-seed funding from established investors and angels in just 2 months

  • Positioned for rapid growth with a market-ready product and investor confidence
