The Problem
Enterprises Are Spending Billions
on AI That Nobody Uses.
78% of companies now use AI in at least one function. 76% of their people say they still don't know how to apply it. That gap is costing them — and it's measurable.
51
51%
of business leaders admit they don't understand how AI works or fits their needs — the tool isn't the
problem, the fit is.

Businesses racing to adopt AI — without the training to back it up
PayPal Newsroom · June 2025
Everyone's Buying AI Tools. Almost No One Is Getting an Edge.
AI seen as competitive necessity — yet adoption friction remains the #1 barrier
$13.5T
AI's projected economic impact lost to adoption failure annually
76%
of workers say they need more AI training to actually use it
64%
cite integration complexity as their #1 implementation barrier
43%
of executive time spent on admin work — not strategy or growth
Consumer AI ≠ enterprise workflow
Copilot, ChatGPT, and generic assistants were designed for individuals, then pushed into enterprise
workflows top-down. Adoption fails not because the technology is bad — but because it requires behavior
change that enterprises won't make.
The adoption gap compounds at scale
The bigger the org, the worse it gets. More teams, more tools, more mandates — and still 95% of
employees say they need training just to use what's already been bought. AI spend without AI adoption is
just overhead.
The Entry Point
Decks are a small slice of the enterprise AI adoption problem.
But they're the most visible, recurring, and measurable slice — one
that happens on a fixed quarterly cadence, touches every executive team, and has a clear before/after. That's
why we start here at seed. It's the wedge that proves the model.

Behavior change required — Steerco fits existing workflow
Solution
Start From What You Already Have.
No blank page. No prompt engineering. No behavior change required. We show up inside the rhythm teams already have.
Built for companies that can't afford mistakes.
The Three C's of Enterprise-Grade AI.
Consistency
Every team. Every deck. Same voice, same brand, same data source. No more 2022 logo in a board
subcommittee report.
Control
Admins define the narrative front to back. What gets shown, emphasized, flagged — all configurable
at the org level.
Security
Your team is already using Claude on their personal plan — with board financials and director notes.
That's a data leak waiting to happen. Steerco is purpose-built for enterprise data handling.
How it works
Connect your data.
Get your deck. Done.
Get your deck. Done.
589+ Integrations
Salesforce, HubSpot, Gong, Gainsight, Snowflake, Amplitude — every source your team uses.
Upload & Go
Drop a messy PPTX, PDF, or raw doc. Get a polished, branded output back in minutes.
SOC 2 Type II Certified
Every output logged, private, defensible. Your data never trains a model.
Brand Enforcement at Org Level
Upload your template once. Every deck from every team matches automatically.

What We're Intentionally Not
A Design Tool A Dashboard A Copilot A Blank Page Generic AI
Gamma / Beautiful.ai
Strong at individual deck creation and design quality. No live data integration, no enterprise compliance, no multi-team merge. Great for drafts — not for boardrooms.
Tome ($75M+ raised)
Well-funded, strong brand in AI presentations. Consumer-first approach. No org-level brand enforcement, no subcommittee merging, no enterprise audit trail. Different buyer.
ChatGPT / Copilot
Massive distribution, powerful general-purpose AI. Blank prompt, no brand enforcement, no deck merging. Powerful individually — no org-level workflow.
CS Platforms (Gainsight category)
Own the data layer and customer health scores. Stop at the dashboard — don't own the output. We start where they end.

Vision — Why Now
The Data Layer Is Solved.
The Intelligence Layer Isn't.
The Inflection Point
Data: solved → Intelligence: open → Steerco
Why Now
Enterprises spent three years buying data infrastructure. That layer is solved.
The intelligence layer — how data becomes decisions and action — is wide open.
AI platform distribution (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini) is a new acquisition channel that didn't exist 18 months ago.
First mover to prove workflow fit at scale wins the category.

3-Year Product Arc
1
Own Executive Communication Automation
Board decks, QBRs, EBRs. Enterprise direct + PLG self-serve. Now.
2
Own the Entire Decision Lifecycle — Not Just the Output
Pre-work briefs before the meeting. Automated capture after it. Every QBR built on top of the last one. While horizontal tools chase the next use case, we go deeper inside the same workflow — until Steerco isn't software you use, it's infrastructure you can't remove.
3
Build the First Dataset of How Enterprises Decide
Thousands of board decks, QBRs, and EBRs create a proprietary dataset of enterprise decision patterns — benchmarks on what gets flagged, what drives action, and what predicts churn. Built passively from every deck Steerco generates.

Transparency
What We Need to Prove.
Every seed-stage company has open questions. Here are ours — and what we're doing about each one.
Customer Concentration
The risk: 7 customers means losing one is meaningful. At $250K ARR, the top account represents outsized revenue share.
What we're doing: Active pipeline of 15+ enterprise prospects. Seed capital accelerates AE hire and diversifies revenue base. Target: 15+ logos within 6 months of close.
Team Size
The risk: 3 co-founders, 1 engineer. Bus factor is real — the multi-agent architecture lives in one person's head.
What we're doing: First seed hire is a second engineer. Architecture is documented and modular. Grant has built systems designed for handoff, not hero mode.
LLM Cost Structure
The risk: 90%+ gross margins today, but LLM inference costs are volatile. A pricing change from Anthropic or OpenAI could compress margins.
What we're doing: Multi-model architecture allows provider switching. Inference costs have dropped 10x in 18 months and trend continues. Pricing absorbs 3x cost increase and stays margin-positive.
