Dragonfly just raised £2.6M and launched an AI that picks your tech stack in seconds.

Zego alumni Sean King and Sven Sabas built a conversational AI that cuts software selection from months to seconds. Instead of endless demos and outdated marketplaces, you ask questions in plain English.

• 250,000+ software tools catalogued
• Handles simple to complex enterprise queries
• Led by Episode 1, angels include QuantumBlack founder Sam Bourton

How it happened:
• Founders experienced tech selection pain at Zego firsthand
• Built world's largest software catalogue from trusted sources
• Launched public tool December 2024 alongside funding
• Planning enterprise offering with "digital fingerprinting" for late 2025

Takeaway: Software selection paralysis is real. AI-powered curation beats endless research.
