Meet Rigel. Your AI-powered growth engine. We make your company unstoppable.
Rigel finds what’s holding your company back and fixes it. More customers, stronger traction and connections to the right people.
Step 1 of 2
“Rigel showed me my pricing was 2x too high, my competitive moat was weak, and I needed a technical co-founder. Then it connected me with the people who helped me fix all three. 62 to 85 in 6 weeks.”
— Bernardo de la Vega, Founder of Ora
62 → 85
in 6 weeks
Score. Fix. Connect.
Validate Your Idea
Enter your company website. Rigel's AI analyzes it across 8 critical dimensions: Market Size, Problem-Solution Fit, Competitive Advantage, Founder Fit, Go-to-Market Strategy, Business Model, Traction, and Risk.
But here's what matters: We tell you exactly WHY it's 62.
Get Your Action Plan
Most tools stop at the score. Rigel starts there. Every weak dimension gets a targeted fix:
Issue: “AI features aren't defensible — incumbents are adding the same capabilities”
Fix: You need a moat. Let me connect you with someone who's built defensible AI products.
Issue: Adjacent experience (spirits/entertainment) but not core event-tech background
Fix: You need a co-founder with event platform experience, or domain advisors who've scaled ticketing companies.
Issue: 10% take rate is 2x higher than the industry standard of 6%
Fix: Validate pricing with real event organizers. I can connect you with 5 who run 20+ events/year.
We Make the Intros
Rigel scans a curated network of founders, investors, advisors, and operators — then delivers strategic introductions matched to your specific gaps.
Hi Bernardo,
I think you and Alex Rodriguez should meet. Alex built the AI recommendation engine at Airbnb Experiences (10M+ events) and now advises event-tech startups on defensibility.
Your Ora platform's competitive advantage scored 38/100 because “AI features alone aren't defensible.” Alex has seen this exact problem at scale — how do you build moats when incumbents can copy features?
He recently helped a ticketing startup pivot from “AI-powered pricing” to “network effects via audience data” — and their valuation jumped 3x. I think he could help you find Ora's true differentiation.
Interested? Just reply yes/no.
Not cold outreach. Warm introductions matched to your exact needs.
