Client Overview

The Pitch Portal is an Australian startup ecosystem platform designed to help early-stage ventures find mentors, experts, and investors. By leveraging AI-driven matching algorithms, it facilitates collaborations between startups and professionals to accelerate business success.

Project Overview

The Pitch Portal contacted Neurond to develop an AI-powered sweat equity marketplace that connects early-stage startups with skilled experts. This platform enables cash-strapped entrepreneurs to exchange equity for expertise, fostering business growth.

Challenge

Early-stage startups often face two major barriers to success:

  • Lack of Access to Expertise – Many startups struggle to find skilled professionals willing to work in exchange for equity.
  • Funding Constraints – Limited capital makes it difficult to hire talent for critical business operations.

Solution

Neurond AI designed and built an AI-powered marketplace platform to bridge the gap between startups and industry experts.

1. AI-Powered Talent Matching

  • Implemented Large Language Models (LLMs) and Prompt Engineering for automated skill-expertise matching.
  • Developed an intelligent recommendation engine to suggest ideal partnerships based on startup needs.

2. Secure & Scalable Cloud Infrastructure 

  • Deployed the platform on Azure Cloud, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security.
