SGL Coach for investors
Human interaction has patterns. They can be learned. SGL Coach makes Jan Petrus Hagberg's method available to individuals, teams and organisations, with personal AI coaching in 26 languages.
From problem to product
- The problem: Poor interaction costs customers, employees and quality. Professional training rarely gives people a shared language for communication and collaboration.
- The method: SGL has been developed and used in Norwegian organisations since 1987. Jan Petrus's texts, model drawings and films are protected by copyright.
- The product: The AI agent supports each person over time through text and voice conversations, exercises, 60 films and the SGL handbook. The platform supports 26 languages.
- The position: SGL Coach holds a unique position in the market as the only method-based AI product for leadership development.
- The difference: A shared language to practise every day. Mapping happens in conversation, and organisations receive anonymous statistics without access to individual conversations.
The business and the plan
- The subscription model: Personal, Team and Organisation, with Leader as an add-on. One platform can support a customer from personal development to collaboration across the organisation.
- People and the app: A limited number of practitioners can support the system so that large organisations can offer effective one-to-one coaching in the method to all employees. Practitioner functions are integrated into the product.
- The market plan: Launching in Norway now. Global rollout will follow as we establish the brand and a verified channel strategy.
- The funding: We are raising a limited amount of capital now through a SLIP agreement, with a larger round in about a year.
