From Quant Genius to Million Dollar Founder: Andrew Teaches Nosible AI’s Founder How to Scale
In this episode of Funded, Now What?!, Andrew Lee Miller sits down with Stuart Reid, the high-IQ, ultra-technical Founder & CEO of Nosible AI — a revolutionary new search engine built specifically for AI agents.
Stuart’s background is pure quant brilliance — think hedge funds, deep infrastructure, and cutting-edge AI innovation. But like many technical founders building next-gen tools, Stuart faces a critical question:
“Now that I’ve built it…and it got funded, now what?!?”
That’s where Andrew steps in.
This episode is a masterclass in translating complex tech into customer traction. Andrew helps Stuart step outside of his engineering mindset and into a growth-first approach — teaching him how to:
✅ Build irresistible case studies that open doors
✅ Speak differently to quant funds vs. AI devs vs. media companies
✅ Use scrappy PR and outreach tactics to spark early adoption
✅ Rethink the website as a conversion engine, not just a brochure
✅ Treat marketing like product: test, learn, refine
Plus, Stuart shares how he raised capital for Nosible, what makes their AI-native search so different from Google, and how he’s navigating the startup world from his home base in South Africa.
"If your genius is stuck in your head or your pitch deck, it’s not going to scale. Let’s fix that." – Andrew
If you're a highly technical founder who needs a reality check on growth — or a marketer trying to help one — this is your episode.
