01 · The problem

Networks are stuck in 2010.

LinkedIn pretends to be a network. It's a CV exchange with a feed bolted on. Founders, hiring managers and biz-dev leads still send the same cold messages at 2.4% reply rates.

The real network — the one that produces deals — lives in people's heads. They know who to introduce to whom and why. That graph is invisible. Until you ask it the right question.

I built TagRamp because every fractional engagement I've taken in 8 years started with someone saying "you should talk to Fauzul."

02 · The build

From hackathon to live in 7 weekends.

Bolt.new World Hackathon, May 2025. I had a thesis: "introductions are a search problem if you have the right embeddings." Forty-eight hours later I had a working prototype that scored intros by goal alignment, not industry tags.

Then I shipped every Saturday for two months.

Week 0 · 27 May
Hackathon submission
Founder track winner. Three judges asked to invest. None matched the bio I wanted in a co-founder, so I kept it solo.
Week 2 · Mid-June
First 3 design partners
A Berlin VC, a London marketing agency, and a Dhaka recruiting firm. Each gave me their CRM. I shipped 4 features a week.
Week 5 · Mid-July
First paid deal
TagRamp introduced a Norwegian designer to a Munich CTO. Contract signed three weeks later. Both attribute the intro to us.
Week 11 · September
Closed-beta opens
9 orgs, 600 contacts, 38 intros sent. Reply rate 47% vs LinkedIn's industry-wide 2.4%.
03 · Results

What it does today.

Six months after the hackathon, TagRamp has 9 design partners, 5 of them paying, and a waitlist of 142 organizations.

The bigger lesson: I shipped this solo while running ELO and a bistro. A founder's leverage is in deciding what NOT to do.

Interactive Walkthrough

How TagRamp works, from intent to deal.

TagRamp eliminates cold outreach by converting your high-level business initiatives into AI-mediated warm introductions through four structured stages.

Step 1 · Ingestion

Import & Organize Your Network

Transform scattered contacts from LinkedIn, Gmail, or Salesforce into an enriched, unified graph. The AI automatically processes, categorizes, and maps relationships based on business context.

Step 3 · Matchmaking

04 · For you

If we worked together.

I bring the solo-founder muscle: ship weekly, talk to users daily, kill features that don't move retention.

I lead small teams the same way — a tight loop between code and the customer. Most product orgs over-meeting and under-ship; I'm the antidote.
