Zego alumni just cracked the software selection problem.

Dragonfly raised £2.6M pre-seed and launched their AI-powered software selection tool. Founded December 2024 by Sean King and Sven Sabas.

Key metrics:
• 250,000+ software products catalogued
• Conversational AI answers in seconds vs months of research
• 12-person team, mostly ex-Zego talent
• Led by Episode 1

How they did it:
• Built world's largest software catalogue first
• Developed conversational AI layer on top
• Assembled experienced team before launch
• Secured funding pre-launch

Takeaway: Software selection paralysis is real. Build the data moat first, then the AI layer.
