SYDNEY - THEY CALLED THE OPERA HOUSE IMPOSSIBLE
Fourteen years, ten times over budget - now the symbol of a nation. Ship anyway.
One founder with AI leverage can now build what took a 20-person team. innovation.net finds those founders, funds them with $100k for 10%, runs them through hard milestones - and puts them in front of VCs who've already seen the execution data. Fully online. Always on. No batch geography.
Decades-old incumbents run on seat-based pricing, consultant-heavy implementations and interfaces users hate. AI-native replacements do the work, not just the workflow. That's the entire investment mandate - nothing else gets funded.
Practice management, agency tooling, field services - replace the seat licence with an agent that does the job.
Procurement, AP/AR, inventory, HR admin - module by module, AI-native and 10x cheaper to run.
Lodgements, audits, claims, KYC - deterministic outputs with agentic speed. High moats, sticky revenue.
Legal, accounting, migration, insurance broking - the tools professionals tolerate, rebuilt around AI.
Integration platforms, reporting layers, internal tools - agents that connect systems without the consulting bill.
