Rebranding the Startup0:41 – 2:07

Ryan ConlanHost

0:41

Last week there was a bit of a rebrand from Fluxium AI to it's A-U-R-E-N-R-N.

Ryan ConlanHost

0:48

I decided to make the change after myself and my previous co-founder are no longer working together.

Ryan ConlanHost

0:54

So at the moment I'm going to be doing it solo.

Ryan ConlanHost

0:57

There was ads on LinkedIn, I think positions up for a co-founder and CTO role and founder associate.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:06

They are on pause.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:06

They have been for the last while, maybe three weeks plus.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:10

Hopefully I'll get back to any successful candidates for the next round as soon as I can.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:15

There's just a number of changes.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:16

Probably won't mention that again on the podcast.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:18

Yeah, it may register again soon.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:20

There was a reinstatement process.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:23

I've held off on that side of the travel a bit.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:25

So it is not, if you look it up, it won't be registered with ASIC.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:30

At this point in time, I mentioned it takes about 30 days previously for Fluxium AI, but decided to hold off and then rebrand instead.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:37

If you're following my reason and logic, just decide for a fresh start.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:42

Sometimes it's good to start anew.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:44

I've been at it for about one year and four months now.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:47

You can go check it out on LinkedIn.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:48

I'll just share the page real quick.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:50

Audio.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:51

And yeah, this is it.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:52

Intelligence for your money.

Ryan ConlanHost

1:55

The Fluxium AI went back to health and now it's in, it says on LinkedIn, software development, which means you can cover multiple verticals, intelligence for your money.

Ryan ConlanHost

2:04

I was thinking about financial services again, but wait and see.
