Investors
AI Advisory Board is raising a 9-month pre-seed in two $250k tranches tied to 90-day milestones. Markets: Ukraine today and the United States as the first international market. The service is already cash-flow positive; the round buys acceleration, not survival.

Business
Moving a company to AI with its own employees: an org-structure and value-flow diagnostic → training → a shelf of standard deterministic automation packages by department with acceptance criteria and before/after measurement → a maintenance subscription.
Like 1C: the center holds the standard (methodology, package shelf, certification, maintenance platform); certified partners deliver in their region and industry. The partner earns on implementation, the center on the standard and the subscription.
A fixed fee per implemented package; a monthly “keep it working” subscription that keeps automations alive as models, APIs and processes change; partner certification and membership.
Not the templates — those get copied. A continuously updated package library, cross-vertical benchmarks, a certification standard and a maintenance platform for live automations — what a copy cannot reproduce.
The round
The plan is deliberately heavy on sales and partners and light on code: code written for today's models depreciates fast; clients, cases, partners and distribution do not.
