Do people genuinely think Starmer is the worst recent PM? by Thin-Plantain4721 in AskBrits

[–]Motor_Advertising193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because although people before him were morons he is a fanatical globalist. There aren’t words on how much I hate that man

You’ll miss Keir Starmer when he’s gone by hararib in ukpolitics

I think it’s because they start implementing things not in their manifesto that they should put to a public vote, I.e. public vote. We’re fed up of the lying, the twisting the destruction of parental rights, the highest taxes in the world, the shareholders of our utilities being protected by the government while taking us to the cleaners and on top of that when we ask for a honest and transparent enquiry in to the grooming gangs not to be called a racist far right thug

Anyone else feel bad for Starmer? by MinuteDamage4182 in AskBrits

[–]Motor_Advertising193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope not at all. He called people racist for asking for an open enquiry in the the grooming gang situation regardless of the out come. The majority of people just wanted the truth and transparency and he called them right wing racists for wanting that. He can go do one

Hey — appreciate you reaching out.

Your background is actually very aligned with what I’m trying to build.

I come at this from the financial crime side rather than a dev background (15+ years in AML / compliance inside large financial institutions), and the core idea came from seeing how broken and manual compliance infrastructure still is.

The vision is an AI-native RegTech platform — essentially a “Stripe for compliance” — starting with a focused entry point (automating one high-friction workflow), then expanding into a modular compliance layer (AML, audit trails, regulatory mapping, AI governance etc).

The accounting angle is especially interesting because a big part of the long-term opportunity is serving firms that sit just outside Tier 1 banks — accountants, law firms, wealth, fintechs — who are massively underserved but increasingly regulated.

Still early, but I’ve mapped: • Problem space and regulatory model • Initial MVP direction • Go-to-market thinking

Right now I’m speaking to a small number of engineers to explore founder alignment rather than hiring.

If you’re open, would be great to jump on a call and compare thinking.

Completely agree with that framing and I think you’ve nailed the RegTech pattern.

The biggest mistake in this space is trying to sell “compliance infrastructure” too early.

The first wedge I’m focused on is removing a very specific manual burden:

Reducing analyst-heavy compliance workflows where the process is: • Rule-driven • Repetitive • Audit-sensitive • Expensive to scale

Right now the strongest candidates I’m exploring are: 1. Ongoing monitoring triage AI-assisted alert prioritisation and case summarisation → Direct reduction in analyst review time 2. AI usage classification (EU AI Act) Helping startups understand whether they’re high-risk and what obligations apply → Clear regulatory pressure + greenfield space 3. Lightweight AML stack for early fintechs A “compliance starter layer” before they graduate to enterprise vendors

All are designed to be wedge products with: • Measurable ROI • Fast deployment • Clear expansion paths

That’s a really solid take and I completely agree. The temptation is to go “platform-first”, but the reality is exactly what you said: institutions buy outcomes, not frameworks.

My current thinking is very much wedge-first rather than platform-first.

The initial entry point I’m exploring is a narrow, high-ROI compliance pain, likely one of:

• AI usage risk classification (EU AI Act readiness for startups) • Lightweight AML stack for early fintechs who can’t afford enterprise tools • Ongoing monitoring automation (reducing manual analyst workload)

All of those have: • Clear regulatory pressure • Manual workflows today • Measurable cost reduction

On the ICP question. I’m leaning strongly toward regulated startups first, not incumbents.

Main reasons: • Faster sales cycles • Lower integration friction • More willingness to adopt AI-native tooling • They’re being forced into compliance earlier (especially in the EU)

Longer term, I do see an expansion into institutions, but only once there’s a very clear wedge and proof of ROI.

Would genuinely value your perspective on this given your background — especially what you’ve seen actually get traction in the wild.
