Executive Summary

Every organization deserves enterprise-grade infrastructure.

Connect consolidates member management, finances, governance, events, real-time communications, document collaboration, marketplace, and an AI co-pilot into a single secure cloud-native platform — replacing 8–12 disconnected SaaS tools.

01

The Problem

Organizations juggle 8–12 fragmented tools (Slack, QuickBooks, Eventbrite, Mailchimp, Drive…), losing thousands annually and burying institutional knowledge in silos.

02

The Solution

One purpose-built OS for organizations. Modular by design, cloud-native on AWS, with an AI assistant (Odilia) that turns the entire workspace into a queryable knowledge base.

03

The Ask

$25K AWS credits to bootstrap our EKS production cutover, multi-AZ Aurora, Bedrock-powered Odilia AI, and SOC 2-ready security perimeter through our first 1,500 paying organizations.

03 · The Problem
The Problem

Organizations are drowning
in tool sprawl.

A typical non-profit, association, school, or community group runs on 8–12 disconnected SaaS subscriptions — each with its own login, billing, data silo, and admin burden.
$3,800
Avg. annual SaaS spend per small org — most of it duplicated functionality

End-to-end platforms purpose-built for the full member-to-money lifecycle
The result
Leaders spend more time herding tools than serving members. Smaller and underserved organizations — the long tail AWS reaches best — are systematically priced out of professional infrastructure.

04 · The Solution
Introducing Connect

One platform.
Every workflow an organization needs.

Connect replaces the patchwork. From the day a member is invited to the moment they donate, vote, attend, post, message, or receive a 1099 — every interaction lives on one secure, cloud-native platform.
  • Unified identity & roles — RBAC across web, mobile, admin, with OAuth, MFA, JWT sessions.
  • Real-time fabric — Socket.IO chat, Pusher events, RabbitMQ async backbone.
  • Money in & out — Stripe, PayPal, Paystack, Flutterwave. Reconciliation built-in.
  • Knowledge engine — Odilia AI (RAG over pgvector) makes the org self-queryable.
  • Marketplace built-in — Members monetize services, training, mentorship inside the platform.
The 10× insight: the same data backbone that powers operations becomes the AI's knowledge graph — every other org-tech vendor is bolting AI onto a CRM. We're shipping AI on top of the entire organizational substrate.

Wedge Strategy

Africa & diaspora as our beachhead.

280M+ association members across Africa and its global diaspora are systematically underserved by US-built SaaS. We've designed Connect with multi-currency payments, low-bandwidth UX, and culturally-specific governance models (rotating dues, hometown unions, alumni rings) — defensible product-market fit that incumbents can't retrofit.

280M+
Global association members reachable
60M+
Underserved cultural & non-profit communities
Beachhead → US/EU expansion is the inverse of how Mighty Networks, Wild Apricot, and incumbents grew. We arrive at the US market having already proven defensibility in a harder one.

Why AWS & Not the Competition

  • Service depth — EKS + Aurora + Bedrock under one umbrella means fewer integration surfaces than GCP or Azure.
  • Geographic reach — AWS regions in Africa (Cape Town), EU, and US enable our wedge-then-scale GTM with data-residency compliance.
  • Compliance maturity — SOC2, ISO, HIPAA, FedRAMP attestations carry forward to our customer commitments.
  • Marketplace co-sell — AWS Marketplace listing unlocks public-sector and nonprofit procurement channels we can't reach otherwise.

16 · Team & Vision
Founding Team · Vision

Six cloud engineers building the next default OS for organizations.

Why this team can win

Six Cloud DevOps Engineers with collective experience spanning private enterprise, public sector, government, and NGO deployments. Every team member brings 5+ years on cloud-native systems — several with 10+ years on production-critical infrastructure.

★ Cloud-native architecture ★ Kubernetes / EKS at scale ★ DevSecOps + compliance ★ Terraform + GitOps ★ Microservices in Node + TS ★ Payment systems integration ★ Public-sector / NGO delivery ★ Mobile (iOS + Android)
Differentiator: Unlike most SaaS founding teams (one engineer + one PM + one growth), Connect is being built by a team that has shipped and operated cloud-native production systems before. AWS spend, security, and reliability are not learning curves — they're table stakes.
