Boardway is an AI-first search and matching platform helping founders, investors, and companies find the right board and advisory talent to accelerate growth. We solve the network-driven and biased process of board recruitment, matching candidates based on skills, experience, and strategic fit — not who they know. Today, most boards are formed through closed networks, limiting diversity and competence. Boardway offers a verified talent pool and a data-driven matching engine that helps companies build stronger, more balanced boards. Through our Smart Dashboard, users can manage searches, assess skills gaps, and track board performance in one place. Born from firsthand experience with the inefficiency of traditional recruitment, Boardway exists because we believe better boards build better companies — and that smart algorithms and transparency are essential to shaping the future of modern governance.

Spuddle is developing a Duolingo-style app for Excel to help young professionals boost their digital confidence and career readiness by turning complex skills into fun, bite-sized learning. Our secret sauce? Gamification, microlearning, and a community-driven approach that makes Excel something you actually want to practice. Across the world, more than a billion people use Excel and yet most have never been taught how to use it properly. For young professionals and recent graduates, this creates a huge barrier: they’re expected to “just know” Excel, but in reality many feel insecure, waste time on manual tasks, or miss out on opportunities because of weak digital skills. This gap affects productivity, confidence, and employability and it’s widespread across industries, especially in early career roles where Excel is a daily tool. We’re building a mobile app that makes learning Excel engaging and accessible, like Duolingo, but for spreadsheets. Instead of long, boring tutorials, users complete short, gamified exercises that fit into their everyday routines. The app adapts to their level, rewards progress, and helps them practice consistently until Excel becomes second nature. Beyond Excel, our vision is to expand into other workplace tools, becoming the go-to microlearning platform for digital skills. Spuddle started as a side project on social media. We shared quick Excel tips on Instagram and TikTok, and within six months had over 200,000 followers. The overwhelming response showed us just how many young professionals struggle with these skills and how much they crave accessible, fun learning. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a mission: to make digital skills education less intimidating and more empowering. We’re building Spuddle because we’ve lived the problem ourselves, and we believe mastering the basics should feel motivating, not overwhelming.
