OpenAI has just created an entirely new global function that's being led from London.
It will be headed up by @LauraModiano and will be focused on helping startups build, grow and scale on OpenAI from Day 1, through their start-up journey.
It will be a global function led from London and will span founder programs, technical activation, ecosystem partnerships, investor relationships and startup community engagement.
It is amazing to see @OpenAI continue to develop its presence here and double down on London.
Laura has become one of the most vocal and positive voices in European Tech and is overall such a powerful force for good in the ecosystem.
This is great news for her and the ecosystem, so a huge CONGRATULATIONS to her.
Founders, we all love working 100-hour weeks building something real.
But please take care of yourselves too.
Just spoke to a friend who ended up in hospital with a suspected stroke
“I thought of https://t.co/ZC10dxCfaW when I read it!”
A lot of friends and investors have been sending me @ycombinator’s latest Request for Startups this week. https://t.co/GQmAy6WUnX
I get why. The themes they highlight:
- AI Operating System
- Company Brain
- SaaS Challengers - map closely to what we’ve been building for a while.
YC’s premise is clear: the next generation of software won’t be a chatbot bolted onto legacy UI. It will be AI-native from the ground up.
At Jinna, we think this starts with solopreneurs. For 30M+ solopreneurs, the problem isn’t a lack of software. It’s the friction of managing all of it. The goal is a general intelligence that actually helps run the entire business with the help of AI agents.
But the system is only as good as its context. To move from a tool to an AI-native Business OS, every business need to build a Brain: your services, pricing, clients & history, proposals, payments, and transactions, follow-up patterns + more context
That’s what we’re building at @jinna_ai.
Still early. Plenty to prove.
But freaking fantastically exciting!
Thanks for all your support! 🚀
Great first day at Brighteye Ventures Founder Studio.
Sharp founders, strong energy, honest conversations, and a room full of people seriously building things that matter.
Glad to meet all of you guys and looking forward to the next weeks together.

What started as a big vision in December is now a completely rebuilt @jinna_ai
Not just another tool for small businesses, Not another dashboard full of tabs and forms. But an AI assistant that actually helps solopreneurs run their entire business with the help of AI agents - all-in-one workspace.
Today, I’m really proud to say: we’ve released a completely rebuilt Jinna.
Over the past few months, we rethought the product from the ground up to make it faster, clearer, and far more useful for real day-to-day work.
Now Jinna can:
- Listen and talk — with a much brighter, smarter, more human personality.
Answer questions about your business data, like:
• How much did I receive in inbound transactions last month?
• How many proposals were approved?
• Which invoices are overdue?
• How much is still unpaid?
• How much did I spend last month?
• Which clients paid me the most?
- Work the way you want:
• use the classic old-school interface
• or ask Jinna directly
• generate a document in seconds from one prompt
• change document status
• edit any proposal, estimate, or invoice section with AI (yes, this is about Zero prompt AI)
- Manage your clients and services.
- Create beautiful estimates, proposals, and invoices.
- Write emails to share your documents, and also share them through protected links.
- Track stats — views and engagement.
- Turn proposals or estimates into invoices in one click.
- Add payment links.
- Send smart follow-ups and payment reminders.
- Track expenses and categorize transactions.
- Give you a clearer view of what’s paid, overdue, and coming in.
+ More coming
To celebrate the launch, I’m sharing a promo code for 1 extra month free on any paid plan. That means: 30-day free trial + 1 extra free month = 2 months free in total.

🚀 @jinna_ai just crossed 1,000 users - it took us 7 weeks
It’s just a first milestone, but for me it means a lot. Building something and seeing real people show up this quickly… it hits differently
In our dashboard we call them “happy users”
And honestly, that’s the only metric that matters right now
For me, this milestone isn’t about the number - it’s about who these people are. They’re solopreneurs who work nights and weekends, juggle clients, invoices, and cash-flow, and lose hours every week to boring admin and finance routines, and still choose to trust a very young product to help them
That’s a big responsibility
And the clearest signal yet that the problem is real and the timing is right
We’re still early. We’re watching what people do, fixing what’s broken, and shipping with ❤️ (Thanks Team!). The product changes every week. But 1,000 people using Jinna in the wild feels like the right kind of progress - and a reminder of why our mission matters:
Live your freedom → Build a better world
Next goal 10k happy users
Onwards
