Kleos is an AI-powered self-regulating network helping businesses grow. Customers earn coins for reviews; Olive Resolve recovers ratings once fixed. One platform: acquisition, retention, resolution.
Current Status
Pre-revenue and self-funded to date, with zero paid acquisition spend. Core product is live, not roadmap: reviews, Kleos Coins, referral rewards, Olive Resolve's AI-driven rating recovery, and KleosIQ's demand-matching engine are all operating today. Early signups span tutoring, childcare, and personal-services verticals, with employee-level reviews rolling up into business ratings. Full sales scripts, an investor-ready business plan, and a franchise dashboard prototype are complete. Currently raising a $750K pre-seed to fund a franchise pilot and paid acquisition.
Problem or Opportunity
No matter how much a local business spends on ads, customers habitually check reviews before buying — and if reviews are thin or unresolved, that ad spend doesn't convert. Today, customer acquisition, retention, and complaint resolution live in three disconnected tools, and once a bad review posts, it's permanent: no platform recovers a rating after the issue is actually fixed. Kleos unifies all three in one AI-powered, person-level review network.
Solution (product or service)
Kleos is an AI-powered, person-level review network that rewards customers with Kleos Coins — spendable currency, not just status badges — for honest reviews and referrals, turning the same loop loyalty platforms use for retention into a customer acquisition engine. Olive Resolve detects dissatisfaction early and recovers the star rating once an issue is resolved, something no existing platform does. KleosIQ keeps the network balanced, automatically matching customer demand to business capacity.
Business model
Kleos runs on three compounding revenue lines: tiered SaaS subscriptions for review and reputation management, consumable Kleos Coin purchases that businesses buy to fund customer rewards, and a transaction fee on every coin redemption. Go-to-market is a franchise wedge — landing one franchise corporate unlocks hundreds of paying locations at once, modeled at $1.9M ARR across 1,500 locations in a single vertical. As redemption activity grows, transaction-fee revenue scales automatically with network usage, not just subscriber count.
