ATLAS & ODE

AI agent for near-retirement professionals.

A life-work agent for experienced professionals — turning the post-retirement stage into the best 20 years of their life.

If lifespan is increasing, why shouldn’t joy- and work-span?

The opportunity

The world sees a liability. We see the largest asset.

Never before has a cohort this large reached the end of a career with this much capability, capital and time still ahead of it.

“They meet a void the day a career ends — and nothing is built for what’s next.”

The problem

They finally have time and money. What’s next beyond Vanguard, golf and Netflix?

The end of a career is felt as a loss — of identity, structure and purpose. Three needs arrive at once, and nothing serves them.

“I have a lot to give — but not 50 hours a week.”

Advisory and board routes are gatekept by who you know.

“I played jazz, trained as an architect — then life took over.”

No path from a vague longing to a real practice and community.

“Not another five-star resort — something that feels alive.”

Generic luxury is everywhere; curated, interest-led experience is not.

The solution

An agent built for this stage. Like a PA, a coach and a concierge — at scale.

One conversation builds a living member profile. Each journey the agent runs feeds it back — so every journey makes the profile richer, and the next match sharper.

Contribute Grow Explore Living member profile

Contribute & Earn

Paid, part-time work — found, negotiated and agreed by the agent.

Grow

The craft they never had time for — a real teacher and community.

Explore

Interest-led travel the agent finds, negotiates and books.

Every journey enriches the profile — and sharpens the next.

How it works

Understand the person. Build the market of one.

The same AI that interviews the member builds the market around them — creating supply, then reaching demand at scale, without onboarding a single partner first.

01

Deep AI interview

A conversation, not a form.

02

Whole-person profile

Evolving; powers every match.

03

Outreach & research

Cents, not consultants.

04

Match & keep learning

Improves with every action.

Product in action

From “fully retired” to fractional in weeks.

Jorge, 64

Former Group CFO · Iberia

He doesn’t want the old job back — he wants to matter two days a week, and keep growing his network.

  1. Interviews Jorge — two days a week, early-stage, won’t relocate.
  2. Sources Series-A/B companies selling to CFOs; reaches out for him.
  3. Presents & matches a shortlist with fit reasoning; Atlas earns a take-rate.
  4. Follows up & maintains the relationship — checks in, adjusts, surfaces what’s next.
…and it never forgets. The profile already knows he wants to sail the Adriatic and mentor students — Grow & Explore, one tap away.

Got it. I have 2 startups building AI tools for the CFO office, looking for local advisors — shall I schedule intros? And since you love sailing, I can approach a PE firm that owns a sailing club about fractional CFO support. OK?
Yes — go ahead.
Done. 3 intro calls scheduled next week. Briefs for each are here. Open briefs ›

Under the hood

One voice. A team of agents behind it.

A hub-and-spoke system: an orchestrator dispatches bounded jobs, a guardrail checks every outbound action, all reading and writing to one shared memory.

Curator — one voice
Orchestrator — plans & dispatches jobs
  Guardian — checks every outbound action (PII, mandate, tone)
UNDERSTAND
Interviewer · Profile Keeper

Runs the conversation; guards the schema with provenance.

FIND
Contribute · Grow · Explore Scouts

Build a thesis per member; search inventory, then the open web.

REACH
Outreach · Broker

First contact, then negotiates terms inside the member’s limits.

SUPPLY
Supply Keeper · Notifier

Grows the inventory; the right message on the right channel.

Member Profile + ledger — private, provenance on every fact
Opportunity Inventory — shared: a “no” for one is a warm lead for the next
Why data is the moat

Win the member once. Compound for years.

Three layers compound with every member. Incumbents can copy a feature — not the understanding, the shared supply, or the fit logic underneath.

1 · Whole-person profile

A CV expires; a living profile with provenance compounds.

2 · Shared opportunity inventory

A “no” for one member is a warm lead for the next.

3 · Thesis-and-fit matching

Finds latent roles never posted anywhere.

Market · UK / Europe / US

One relationship, huge market.

The curator is free to the member, so we size the annual net take Atlas & Ode earns on transactions — not underlying spend.

TAM$140bn
Every tertiary-educated professional 40–79 in the UK, US & Europe, at a ~$1K blended ARPU.
SAM$75bn
Digitally active, in the 50–72 “next chapter” window — ~42m people.
SOM$1.5bn
Year-3 target: ~2% early-adopter capture — ~1.5m members.

We don’t just replace the middlemen — expert networks (GLG, AlphaSights), fractional-exec agencies (Catalant, Chief) and bespoke travel agents. Like Uber did to taxis, we open the market to a far broader audience — matching cheaper, faster, and to a far better fit.

Longer, healthier lives

Decades of active time to design for.

Financially secure

Holding ~$100tn in wealth.
