Genade Inc.

Genade was a nice learning experience :)

We built digital products to help insurance agents, brokers, wholesalers to automate customer acquisition, lead qualification tasks, and the quoting process. Some examples were interactive web apps that run prospects' fact-finding, qualify leads, pre-populate ACORD forms, and organize information in a super simple CRM. Insurance agents and brokers who used our tools saw a significant increase in time savings and could manage twice as many customers.

We were honored to win the support of:
• 2018 - 19 NYU 300K Entrepreneurs Challenge (Semi-finalist)
• 2019 NYU Summer Launchpad
• 2019 NYU Summer Sprint
• Ignite Fellowship Beta

Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic introduced team and sales dynamics that made our quest difficult to drive forward.

Genade's story ended in December 2020. Many challenges in the world of insurance agents' productivity, lead management, and customer acquisition remain unsolved, and we failed to create a sustainable platform for running an insurance agency on autopilot.

AI can be both technically brilliant and used to build a deeply human future.

I've built AI systems from the ground up, written "The Ethics of AI," and advised hundreds of leaders navigating this transformation. I've learned most teams get lost chasing shiny tech while forgetting the humans who actually use it.

I see everywhere this pattern:

- AI projects that sound impressive but fail in practice
- Teams paralyzed by ethical concerns
- Leaders afraid they're falling behind
- Products that work on paper but frustrate real users

My focus is simple: helping you build or use AI that actually serves people. That works for you, and not against you.

Not AI for AI's sake. Not algorithms that impress other engineers. AI that solves real problems and creates genuine value.

I work with founders and leaders who want to:

☑ Build products users actually love
☑ Navigate ethical challenges with confidence
☑ Create sustainable competitive advantages
☑ Sleep well knowing their AI makes the world better

If you're tired of AI hype and want practical guidance on building technology that matters, let's connect.

Most people hyping the latest AI tool haven't built anything beyond a 30-minute demo.

Josh did the opposite. Product-focused CTO with 25 years of coding experience:

He went all-in, spending 3 months using AI to write every line of code for a new product (attention! Not a toy project.) as a real test of what happens when you actually commit.

The product shipped. It worked. He felt productive.

Then he needed to make a simple change and couldn't confidently modify his own code.

"Who owns that product, Josh? You or Claude Code?" Bob Galen asked him.

The answer: Claude Code owned it. Josh had become a passenger in his own product development.

This is the intellectual honesty the AI conversation needs. Not another breathless demo. Not another "look what I built in 10 minutes" post. An actual engineer doing the hard work of understanding what happens when delegation replaces comprehension.

His November deep-dive article shares what he learned the hard way, five principles that aren't sexy or revolutionary, but are real, sustainable, and work beyond the honeymoon phase:

1️⃣ Own the architecture
2️⃣ Make the hard decisions
3️⃣ Maintain the context
4️⃣ Understand the why
5️⃣ Take responsibility when it breaks

That's how you actually integrate this technology without eroding the skills that make you valuable.

Josh's story matters because he had the courage to admit what happened when he delegated too much. And more importantly, he documented exactly how to avoid making the same mistake.

Ben Botes

General Partner | Caban Global Reach • Building Operating Systems that Deliver Repeatable DPI in Fintech & Healthcare

I don’t believe in chasing deals.
I believe in designing outcomes.

With 31 years of experience across venture building, exits, and private equity, I’ve built and exited four businesses, scaled SaaS, fintech, and impact ventures across frontier markets, and now deploy capital as General Partner at Caban Global Reach and MD at Caban Group.

What differentiates my work is simple:
Deployment discipline → transforming capital into repeatable DPI, not one-off wins.
Operating systems → governance, cadence, and working-capital control that scale beyond founders.
Exit readiness → building liquidity pathways from day one, not as an afterthought.

What I do today:
• For founders: engineer clarity, commercial edge, and institutional discipline so they scale sustainably.
• For investors: originate proprietary deal flow, strengthen founder teams, and build governance that compounds trust and returns.

Philosophy:
The biggest risk isn’t failure.
It’s randomness.
That’s why the work isn’t speed — it’s discipline.
