It started with one question: why should I have to choose.

2025. You work 10 hours a day. On weekends you should rest — instead you scroll through 30 newsletter emails, try to keep up with 5 podcasts, read 3 Substack newsletters. Tired, plus FOMO that you missed something.

We thought: why should you have to choose between staying current and having a life? No reason — AI algorithms today can listen to 200 podcasts a day and pull out 7 quotes matched to your goals. It only requires one thing: understanding who you are.

BizMaven is a private audio analyst. Listens for you. Remembers you. Learns from you. Twice a week sends a brief — with named quotes, no generic "top 10 trends".

Team is small (3 people), distributed (Warsaw, Berlin, Lisbon). Backend Python + FastAPI, AI through konspo-ai-proxy (Anthropic + Voyage), transcription AssemblyAI. Hosted on Hetzner Frankfurt. Goal: 1,000 paying customers by end of 2026.

We're not a VC-track startup. No seed round. Building the product we'd want to use ourselves. If that resonates — welcome.
