AUTOMOAT — A LEFT LANE TECHNOLOGIES VENTURE
THE TIGER TEAM

The team that sells the work runs the work.

Automoat is a Tiger Team — an operator unit, not a consulting firm. Same people across Sweep, Install, and Retainer. No deck-and-handoff. No junior team running the work after the sale.

§ I — THE PRINCIPAL

Dapo Polaniyan.

PORTRAIT
TO COME

FILED · DRAFT

Operator. Founder of Left Lane Technologies — the family of "moat" ventures behind Promoat (advisory for solopreneurs) and Automoat (AI-native operating systems for established SMBs).

Spent the last decade building, operating, and advising businesses through the exact lifecycle Automoat now sells to: bootstrap, scale, productize the operation, make the business owner-optional. Promoat clients hit this lifecycle naturally; Automoat picks up where Promoat ends.

Started Automoat because the AI era produced an enormous category of vendors selling licenses at the model layer, and almost no one willing to rebuild the operating system around it — for your operation, on your data, with your standards.

§ II — HOW WE HIRE

Operators only. No exceptions.

CRITERION 01

Shipped, not strategized.

We hire people who have rebuilt workflows in operating companies. Not strategists. Not consultants. Operators.

CRITERION 02

P&L-fluent.

Speaks the language of margin, throughput, capacity, payback. Reads the operating metrics, not the headlines.

CRITERION 03

Same team end-to-end.

No bait-and-switch. The Tiger Team that sells the work runs the work — same people, end to end.

§ III — ADVISORS

Coming soon.

We're assembling a small advisory bench of operators across the verticals we serve. Names land here as they sign on.

§ IV — JOIN

We hire as we grow.

No open roles right now. If you're an operator with Tiger Team-grade experience — CPA firms, law firms, HVAC, dental, multi-site operations — and you want on the record when we hire, send a note.
