I started Tudovu to supercharge AI adoption in banks and credit unions.
We integrate with existing systems, automate AI model training & deployment, and deploy AI Agents. With a total view of their systems.
This technology enables Credit Unions & Banks to acquire new members, deepen existing relationships, and retain them
One piece of advice we got during YC was to explain our company using verbs instead of nouns.
Early on, I walked into a meeting and did the opposite:
“We’re building a cloud platform for AI”
No one knew that that meant, their eyes glazed over. Then I started saying this instead:
“We containerize your code and run it on GPUs in the cloud so you don’t have to manage the infra yourself”
That clicked way more. Our brains understand verbs because they’re more concrete. If you describe your company using nouns, you risk people not understanding you.
And no one buys or invests in things they don’t understand.
parents: "move out"
girlfriend: “quit being such a loser”
boss: "work harder"
claude: "uber for dogs (the dogs are the drivers) is a great idea, you should absolutely pursue it"
@fileneresearch's 2026 priorities dropped and 5 of them are why I started Tudovu.
Scale, differentiation, modern data, deepening relationships, AI. None of them work without a live view of which members, deposits, and loans are at risk.
That's the layer we're building.
5 of @fileneresearch's 10 priorities for 2026: scale, differentiation, modern data, deepening relationships, AI, all share a dependency nobody named.
A bottom-up AI architecture that knows which members, deposits, and loans are at risk in real time.

I’m at that weird age where every younger person I meet makes me realize how much l've aged, and every older person I meet makes me realize I'm still a baby.
