Building an advanced neuro-symbolic AI. Not easy. A challenging 2.5 years of domain-specific R&D. But Forbes noticed. The article explains what it is, and why it will play such an important role in our professional lives. Sooner than we think! Article: https://t.co/KbnifHzks5

I was invited to the Ukrainian ball to meet business leaders and build support for my team at @PebblesAi 🇺🇦 🇬🇧

Engage customers. Meet investors. Forge partnerships.

I initially wanted to plan a dinner at Sacher Hotels. Eat the famous chocolate cake. Then go to the ball.

Except @SacherHotels refused us.
“Fully booked.”
Why?
“It’s complicated.”

I assumed it was reserved for celebrities and official Ukrainian-Austrian delegations. I knew the Ukrainian Eurovision delegation was in Vienna, so I assumed they were there.

We pivoted. Dinner at Palmenhaus instead.

On the way to the restaurant, we drove past Sacher. Crowds. Cameras. Police. I felt left out.

After dinner I told my wife, “I need to meet investors and customers. I have an idea. Roll with me. Tonight, we’re not just guests.”

With a bit of Dutch courage, we walked to Sacher. It looked like a James Bond film set. Over 100 people at the door.

“Excuse me, apologies, coming through, I said.”

At the front door, I yawned. The kind of yawn that signals bored belonging.

Security let us in.

Inside, politicians. Diplomats. Business elites. Everyone was there

From tuxedos, gowns to generational jewellery.

I started networking. Worked the room.

Soon we were accepted in the main circle. Free champagne was flowing.

At one point I started pitching Pebbles Ai to a group of business men, and explaining how AI will reshape commerce.

I collected everyone's contact details who was interested straight after.

Then someone said, “Come with us.” Me: "does the ball not start at 20:30?"

At this point I was too tipsy to suspect anything.

We moved toward the exit. It was raining. I asked reception, “Umbrella please” They handed me the pink Sacher umbrella.

I knew that umbrella would come in handy. It became our passport. We skipped the red carpet and took the quiet VVIP entrance.

Then we went through real security. Form police, dogs and machine rifles.

No one stopped us.

Three barricades later, a hidden door. Our tickets scanned.

Biep. Biep. Biep. Hm... something is wrong.

“Not to worry, Sir. Please visit our tech desk.”

Behind glass, a geeky IT specialist studied our tickets.

Looked at us.

Looked at my wife.

Then back at me.

“You’re in the wrong ball.”

<crickets>

We were at the Vienna Opera Ball. Not the Ukrainian ball next door.

Wrong palace. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Suddenly everything made sense. Austrian ministers. The aristocratic tone. Sharon Stone. I remember thinking earlier, I did not know she supported Ukraine so strongly.

We took a taxi to the actual Ukrainian ball.

It was spectacular. Ukrainian courage and culture celebrated beautifully. And I met remarkable people, several now turning into real partnerships.

What happened at Sacher was not luck. It was persuasion and communication sciences in action.

Imagine giving go to market teams that same leverage, embedded in an AI solution.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share an important milestone. After 2.5 years of R&D, our GTM AI platform, Pebbles Ai, is finally performing as we hoped.

We’re now putting it in the hands of real B2B teams. We’ve raised additional funds to offer $250 in credits and 1 month of access to the communities I’m part of.

In return, we simply ask for feedback, whether it’s positive, negative, or feature requests.

If this sounds like you:
☑️ Interested in trying new AI technology
☑️ Your company operates in B2B
☑️ Your GTM-related team has 3+ members

Please direct message (DM) me with:
• Full name

• Whether you’d like a demo

My EA will then arrange your 1-month access and $250 credits.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

P.S. Pebbles Ai is the world’s first AI workspace for B2B teams — built to boost revenue, reduce CAC, and accelerate sales velocity. It’s powered by an advanced GTM-trained neurosymbolic agentic system. 🤖🦾

@MartinGTobias Mental fitness hacks. I’d love to be an episode and share my methodologies that helped me and my team build our company even during ballistic rocket attacks and Shahed drones.

When I was 8 years old, I lived in one of the worst ghettos in the Netherlands. This was long before my parents climbed the social ladder. Long before they gave me the kind of education that changed everything for me.

We lived in a tiny apartment. One bedroom. Four crumbling walls. It was an ugly, decaying building.

And then there was the neighbour downstairs. Always angry. Always bitter.

I was active. Very active. I spent my days chasing my cat, Little Marble, all around the apartment. She was my only friend.

But every time I ran after Little Marble, the neighbour lost his mind. Every stomp I made echoed straight into his inner ear.

One day, my mom and I came home from grocery shopping. We climbed the old staircase. As we passed his door, it suddenly swung open.

There he stood. Revolver in hand. Without a word, he pressed it straight against my forehead. Cold steel. I didn’t understand it fully.

I still had my little plastic ball in my hand. Was more worried about that, frankly.

My mom froze. Shocked. He just stared at us. Then he said it:

“You’re not going upstairs.”

That was it. No explanation. Just that.

My mom grabbed me and we ran. Out of the building. Straight to the police.

They arrested him. He went to jail. I don’t remember much else.

But then after many years I found out the truth.

It wasn’t just about me or the noise.

It was my cat. Little Marble.

You see, his wife loved Little Marble. She adored him.

Whenever her husband was away, she opened the door for my cat and her inside.

And she didn’t just cuddle him. She fed him.

Specifically, she fed him her husband’s expensive smoked sausages. His favourites.

Little Marble literally was running her own operation. Sneaking in. Eating premium sausage.

Walking out like a furry quern.

This unholy relationship went on for months. Until one day, the guy caught her and his wife.

Little Marble, mid-sausage, sitting on his living room rug. Licking her paws.

That was the final straw. The sausages broke the camel’s back.

So when he heard me running upstairs that day, ball in hand, he snapped. He probably thought I was part of “operation sausage”.

That’s when he decided to grab his revolver. Open the door. And nearly became the first man in Dutch history to shoot a child over a smoked sausage.

@AdamErhart my Marketing Manager shared your video with me. Really excited to see another person so passionate about marketing sciences.

We've built these sciences into our agentic systems. I'd love to set up a meeting and explore working together.

Perhaps next week?

[Emin Can Turan @EminCanTuran]

@juulguy_ Perfect timing. I’d love to throw my hat in the ring. After 2.5 years of deep R&amp;D, we’ve built something pretty special.

Would you be open to a quick 30-minute Zoom call so I can show you what we’re working on?

[Emin Can Turan @EminCanTuran]

@jewiss Hi Connor, we’ve been in deep R&amp;D mode for quite some time (2.5 years!), and I’d love to show you what we’ve been up to. We are now going to market.
Would a short call make sense over Zoom to show you?
https://t.co/xFblGCjQRc

[Emin Can Turan @EminCanTuran]

@EarnestSweat Hey Earnest, I know this is a bit unexpected, but we’ve quietly built something pretty exciting over the past 2.5 years of R&amp;D.
Mind if I show you? Quick Zoom?
https://t.co/xFblGCjQRc

[Emin Can Turan @EminCanTuran]

@graceb_art apologies for the rather direct approach, but after 2.5 years building something we’re genuinely proud of, I’d be thrilled to walk you through it.
Would a short Zoom fit your schedule?
https://t.co/xFblGCjQRc

[Emin Can Turan @EminCanTuran]

@christophersaum Hi Chris, sorry to message out of the blue!
We’ve just wrapped 2.5 years of R&amp;D and are finally ready to share with the world.
Would love to get your quick take on Zoom. Interested?
https://t.co/xFblGCjQRc

[Emin Can Turan @EminCanTuran]

@kevinrunsnyc reaching out rather direct. Apologies. But the timing is right: we’re coming off 2.5 years of R&amp;D and have something we’d love to walk you through.
Would 30 mins work sometime soon?
https://t.co/xFblGCjQRc

[Emin Can Turan @EminCanTuran]

@jsfranklin221 Hi Jared, saw your tweet, we’ve just wrapped 2.5 years of R&amp;D and validation.
Would love to share the result with you.
Would a short call make sense?
https://t.co/xFblGCjQRc

[Emin Can Turan @EminCanTuran]

@TbdAngels I know cold messages are not always ideal, but we’ve spent 2,5 years in R&amp;D on this and I think you’d find it pretty interesting.
Could I show you on a quick Zoom?
