AUTOMOAT · THE AI PARTNER FOR ESTABLISHED SMBS
THE TIGER TEAM

The team that sells the work runs the work.

Automoat is a Tiger Team — an operator unit, not a consulting firm. Same people across Sweep, Install, and Retainer. No deck-and-handoff. No junior team running the work after the sale.

THE PRINCIPAL

Dapo Polaniyan.

PORTRAIT

Operator. Founder of Promoat Group — the family of “moat” ventures behind Promoat (advisory for solopreneurs) and Automoat (the AI partner for established SMBs).

Spent the last decade building, operating, and advising businesses through the exact lifecycle Automoat now sells to: bootstrap, scale, productize the operation, make the business run without the owner in the room. Promoat clients hit this lifecycle naturally; Automoat picks up where Promoat ends.

Started Automoat because the AI era produced an enormous category of vendors selling licenses at the model layer, and almost no one willing to rebuild the operating system around it — for your operation, on your data, with your standards.

HOW WE HIRE

Operators only. No exceptions.

CRITERION 01

Shipped, not strategized.

We hire people who have rebuilt workflows in operating companies. Not strategists. Not consultants. Operators.

CRITERION 02

P&L-fluent.

Speaks the language of margin, throughput, capacity, payback. Reads the operating metrics, not the headlines.

CRITERION 03

Same team end-to-end.

No bait-and-switch. The Tiger Team that sells the work runs the work — same people, end to end.

ADVISORS
