On‑prem AI platform for IP-heavy SMEs + regulated teams.
What it is
Sovereign AI Platform is a privacy-first AI platform designed to run fully on customer-controlled infrastructure (including air‑gapped environments) for teams that cannot send sensitive data (IP, finance/legal/medical) to cloud AI APIs. We start from an Ollama + OpenWebUI baseline and are building the “product layer” required for real adoption: stable local APIs, model lifecycle/versioning, RBAC + audit logs, and offline update/diagnostics workflows.
Problem
AI demand is high, but cloud AI APIs are not acceptable for many organizations due to data exposure and compliance risk. This blocks adoption or forces brittle “shadow AI” workarounds.
Alpha 1 (demo) — 1–2 months
- Single-node install (Docker Compose) that runs locally.
- Workflows: doc summarization/extraction, internal ops/support chatbot, text→image “infographic”.
- X: ≥ 80% pass rate on domain eval suite (healthcare, finance, IP-heavy SMEs).
- Y: N=3 concurrent users, p95 ≤ 30s (text summary) and ≤ 120s (text→image).
- OpenAI used only as benchmark baseline for text/domain evals:
gpt-4o-mini.
Why we win
- True on‑prem / air‑gapped operation (no hidden cloud dependency).
- Measurable performance claims anchored in a transparent eval harness.
- Operability: offline updates/diagnostics and controls IT/Security can approve.
Business model
- Software subscription (by node/GPU and feature modules).
- Services: deployment/support/onboarding and operational hardening.
- Optional hardware margins via partner bundles/resale.
Fundraise (pre-seed)
- Instrument: equity (terms TBD).
- Ask: $250k–$300k (lean pre-seed).
- Runway framing: ~12 months to hit milestones.
