I rave with robots 😍 Best hackathon idea ever.

I'm thrilled to announce that @Stackfix - the software comparison platform - has raised a $3M Seed Round led by @chalfs, joined by @seedcamp and @helloworld, alongside some brilliant angel investors such as @paulforster, @matthewclifford and @Alicebentinck.

When my co-founder @caminmc and I were building our previous companies, we saw firsthand just how time-consuming it is to find the right tools for your business - navigating endless options, confusing pricing, and overly pushy sales tactics.

The existing 'solutions' are totally broken, as they rely on user-generated reviews, which are often out-of-date, incomplete, or paid-for by vendors.

This problem is getting much worse. Advances in AI have dramatically lowered the barriers to building and updating software, leading to an explosion in the number of available tools. Traditional review-based approaches cannot keep up.

Enter Stackfix. We enable businesses to compare software in seconds and be guided to the right product. Under the hood, we're building AI agents to automatically test software, which gives us live, comprehensive, and accurate information on thousands of tools.

THREAD FOR LPs/GPs in VC:
1) I've been talking to VC fund managers (GPs)& the limited partners ("LPs") who invest in them (I'm an LP in numerous VC funds) about expectation for early DPI from seed&pre-seed funds. (DP ="Distributed to Paid In Capital" - i.e., cash $ back to LPs)
