CHRONAXE

The fastest path to the right answer.
Professional Intelligence. Private, Local, Always Current.
The Problem
Getting Answers Takes Too Long.
Staying Informed Is Impossible.
0
hours lost per day searching
0
of every workday wasted
Professionals lose hours searching email, files, and waiting on colleagues. When they find an answer, it goes stale without warning. Decisions made on outdated information. Signals missed. No one told you.
The Solution
Ask + Pulse
One platform. Your data. Your device.
Ask

Get Answers in Minutes

AI searches your data locally. Identifies gaps, who can help, and drafts a structured query for your approval. They respond via Chronaxe or simply reply to an email. AI-powered, human-verified.

Pulse

Stay Informed Automatically

"Watch" any topic and it becomes a persistent sensor. New emails and documents continuously matched and organized into AI briefings. The system learns from your feedback. All on your device, no API cost.

Ask gets you the answer now. Pulse makes sure you never miss what comes next.
Why Now
Three Trends Converging
⚡

Hardware Ready

Every new computer has an AI accelerator. Apple, Qualcomm, Intel/AMD.

✓

SLMs Match Cloud

80%+ of professional tasks handled locally. Fast and private.

🔒

Trust Shift

Professionals want AI without giving up their data.

Market Opportunity
~$35B and Growing
Knowledge Management Software + AI Productivity + AI Assistants + AI Enterprise Search
TAM ~$35B
SAM ~$8-10B
SOM ~$100-250M

Top-down: Knowledge Management Software + AI Productivity + AI Assistants + AI Enterprise Search (adjusted for overlap).
Bottom-up: ~10M beachhead professionals (legal, consulting, IB/PE/VC, enterprise sales) at $39/mo = ~$4.7B addressable.

Both approaches converge on ~$200M ARR by Year 5.

Every network query exposes Chronaxe to a new professional. Each active user generates exposure to 5-15 peers through normal usage. Network query emails are professional queries from trusted colleagues, not marketing. Conversion rates on trusted referrals are 5-10x higher than cold outreach. The product IS the distribution channel.

Massive ROI

Saving 30 min/day at $500-1,500/hr = $5K-15K/mo in value.

Viral Distribution

Every network query is an organic, zero-cost acquisition touchpoint.

Built-In Retention

Pulse drives retention as watched topics compound over time.

Status
Built and Demo-Ready
Ask + Network Queries Pulse: Continuous Intelligence Patent Pending Self-Funded

Built and demo-ready. Solo-built: full platform, local RAG pipeline, provisional patent filed. Technology is de-risked. Entering design partner phase across investment banking, consulting, law, enterprise sales, and independent professionals. This round funds engineering hires and GTM execution.

✓

No Competitor Combines

Continuous intelligence, human-verified answers, and cross-org network queries on-device.

✓

Bottom-Up Adoption

One user, no IT deployment. Glean/Copilot require org-wide rollout.

✓

Architecture Moat

Local-first can't be retrofitted onto cloud products, and it conflicts with their revenue model.

✓

Hardware Tailwind

Better hardware and better SLMs make us better every year, for free.

✓

Patent Pending

Patent pending on core distributed knowledge architecture.
