Ventures
What I Build
I build and operate across four active ventures — each one a working example of the AI-for-payback thesis. No science projects. No vapourware. Shipped products and live advisory.
Chart Reporter
Chart Reporter automates the manual collection and reporting of trading performance data into actionable insights for the individual Forex trader. Built end-to-end as a solo operator.
Traders using MetaTrader 4 and MT5 Expert Advisors generate enormous amounts of performance data — but extracting, visualising, and acting on that data has always been manual, tedious, and error-prone. Chart Reporter solves this with a live analytics platform that connects directly to trading accounts.
| Stack | Next.js, Supabase/PostgreSQL, Vercel |
| Status | Live product — open beta |
| GTM | Direct-to-consumer subscription |
Sites by Agents
Sites by Agents is a multi-agent AI pipeline that converts client briefs into fully deployed Next.js websites. The entire build — design, copywriting, development, SEO audit, and security review — is executed by a team of 7 specialised AI agents.
The meta-story: the site itself is built by the same AI agent pipeline it sells to clients. Visitors are looking at the product.
The pipeline discovers SMBs with outdated websites, crawls their existing site, and delivers a free preview of what their site could look like — rebuilt, faster, and better optimised. No monthly hosting fees. No CMS subscriptions.
| Stack | Next.js 15+, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Sanity CMS, Vercel |
| Agents | Lois (crawl), Jimmy (design), Cat (copy), Felicity (build), Batman (SEO), Kryptonite (security), Clark (docs) |
| Status | Active — deployed and building customer sites |
Sairgent
Sairgent is the next-evolution agentic OS. A 'Business-in-a-Box' framework that doesn't just do tasks but runs an organisation with the discipline of a real C-suite.
The problem with flat agent swarms (AutoGen, CrewAI) is that they are ungovernable at scale. No hierarchy, no accountability, no persistent memory across sessions. The result is noise, drift, and operational sprawl.
Sairgent answers this with a strict hierarchy — CHAIR, MANAGER, SPECIALIST — persistent context via the 00_Context pattern, and model-agnostic deployment from cloud APIs to on-premise models.
| Governance | Value Math requirement on all proposals. 48-hour ship rule. Persistent memory and audit trail. |
| Status | In development — powering Valid Agenda and Syllogism internal operations |
Syllogism
Syllogism is a joint venture between Valid Agenda (Dave) and Esource (Richard Webbe). We accelerate AI adoption for mid-market businesses by moving from 'Novelty' to 'Payback.'
Richard brings high-stakes sales pedigree (ex-Cisco, ex-Telstra). Dave brings the technical architecture and agentic systems. Together, we deliver AI strategy workshops, governance frameworks, and implementation roadmaps grounded in operational reality.
Our methodology — the AI Blueprint — starts with the Cost of Inaction, not the technology. We help leaders see where AI will actually pay back before they buy a single tool.
We also produce the AI Operators Podcast — a weekly show exploring the tactical edge of AI agents, governance, and the transition from manual work to orchestration.
| Model | 50/50 revenue split, co-owned IP |
