Investor overview Pre-seed

The operations radar for fast-moving companies.

Companies run on a dozen tools and nobody sees the whole picture until something breaks. Retenna connects those tools — and the outside world that moves them — and flags what is slipping, stuck or newly at risk while you can still act.

What it is
Retenna connects the tools a company already runs — chat, work trackers, code, docs, CRM, support, billing, calendars — and the outside world that moves them, into one live picture. It watches for drift, shows the evidence behind every flag, names the next step and who should take it, and tracks whether it got fixed.
The problem
Every team has a tool; no single tool holds the whole company. So leadership rebuilds the picture by hand — in meetings, threads and status updates — and usually learns what slipped after it has already slipped.
In practice
A Friday launch quietly going to miss. A key account going silent weeks before renewal. A competitor shipping what three of your deals asked for. The tell-tale signals sit in different tools, so no one tool sees them — Retenna reads them as one story and flags it while you can still act.
Where we start
Land with the Monday operations brief for 15–150-person companies on Slack, Linear or Jira, GitHub and Notion. Expand into a daily risk inbox, then governed agents that act on what they find.
Why now
Models can finally reason over messy, multi-source context. Teams are leaner and carry more. And AI agents are useless without the company context Retenna is built to hold.
Team
Trent Howes — a technical founder who builds the product and runs the sales calls, so each early pilot costs little to win and learn from.

A bottom-up path to scale: thousands of startup, mid-market and enterprise customers, landed through a founder-led ops risk audit and grown as Retenna connects and watches more of the business. Figures are modelled assumptions, set out in full in the deck.
