Our story
Built by someone who sat on both sides of the table
I moved to London chasing possibility, and stayed to build it.
Over the past decade, I have sat on both sides of the table. As an investor, trying to make sense of fragmented data and instinct dressed up as conviction. And as a founder, trying to build something real inside systems full of bias and noise.
That dual lens made the gaps impossible to ignore.
I stopped waiting for someone else to build the fix.
askRIA is the infrastructure I needed and could not find. For the founder with a real story but no polished network. For the investor who wants signal over noise. For the operator tired of duct-taping spreadsheets at midnight.
This is not just a product. It is a system for better decisions, and a bet that the next generation of great companies should not get lost in the noise.
How we build
Principles, not platitudes
Data over gut feel
Every score, flag, and recommendation in askRIA is traceable to a source document. No black boxes. No "trust me" outputs. If Ria says it, she can show you where it came from.
Access over network
Your raise or your deal flow should not depend on who you know. askRIA matches founders and investors on thesis fit, traction, and stage, not warm intros and pattern matching.
Transparency over noise
Every action on the platform is logged. Every data point is cited. Every decision has an audit trail. We build for people who want to see the work, not just the output.
Where we are headed
From data rooms to decision intelligence
We are building towards a world where private market data is structured, searchable, and less vulnerable to pattern-matching bias.
The next version of askRIA goes further. We are building investor intelligence: a profile of how each investor evaluates a deal, including their thesis, red flags, and decision rules. Over time, RIA learns to triage opportunities the way they would, so attention goes only where it matters.
Every investor who joins early helps shape what that intelligence becomes.
We are also building for founders worldwide, from a first $100K raise all the way to pre-IPO.
Because brilliance should not get lost in the noise.
