Our mission
Our mission is to help founders succeed with AI SaaS.
Our Story
We are founders.
Founders come to us with the same fear we’ve felt ourselves: limited runway, big ambition, and the risk of building the wrong MVP. You can hire a dev team to ship features—but that doesn’t guarantee customers, revenue, or investor confidence. We’ve lived that pain: spending time and money on products no one wanted, then having to rebuild from the real signal.
Ridio was founded by Selene and Oscar—PhD-trained scientists (Oxford Neuroscience, UCL Physics/AI)—who turned that lesson into a co-founder-style way of building. We’ve grown our own products (including an AI platform in South Korea nearing 11,000 users) and helped startups ship MVPs that supported fundraising outcomes (including $1M secured). Now we partner with founders as a technical co-founder: align on the right MVP, build it fast, and stay beyond launch to earn traction—paying users, revenue, and investment readiness.

Our approach
We are built around outcomes,
where your success contributes to our own.
Founder-vision led
We start with your mission, constraints, and goals — then shape an MVP that proves value, not just features.
Conversion focused
Good MVP looks great, but it also works. Every decision is made with performance and user goals in mind.
Beyond building
We work like co-founders: sharing playbooks, workflows, and strategy to move from MVP → traction → momentum.
Return on investment
Every sprint is tied to outcomes, so your investment in us goes toward measurable achievement.
