“Glazing-as-a-Service. Hire a certified actor to compliment you, loudly, in front of the people whose opinion you actually care about. Your boss, your in-laws, your ex’s new partner. They drop the glaze, then exit before dessert.”
The Problem
You are great at your job. Nobody knows. Glazing yourself is gauche, ChatGPT glaze costs $0.0004and everyone can tell. Meanwhile your coworker Brad has three guys at standup who say “Brad cooked” every time he opens Figma. Brad got promoted in March.
The Solution
Trained Glaze Operatives— actors, mostly — dispatched to your real-world location. They drop one (1) verified glaze within 90 seconds of arrival, witnessed by your target audience, then exfil like they’re double-booked. The praise is the product. The exit is the proof.

The Ask
$6M seed for: a casting director who used to do Bachelor in Paradise, a script room of out-of-work copywriters, and one (1) defamation lawyer to confirm “he cooked” is technically opinion.
Series A pitch:“We’re Cameo, except the celebrity is at your wedding and the audience is your mom.”
