// VENTURE — FOUNDER & BUILDER

SellScene AI

An eBay UK product-research platform I designed and built end to end. It scans live marketplace listings and scores every product on real demand, competition, margin and risk — then writes the analyst memo a sourcing team would otherwise spend a week on. The idea is simple: buy stock that actually sells, not dead inventory.

  • One Opportunity Score. Live eBay UK demand, competition and margin distilled into an explainable 0–100 rank.
  • AI you can verify. OpenAI-grounded insights with citations your buyers can check in one click.
  • Decision tools. Profit calculator, opportunity matrix and shareable analyst reports.
  • Built to scale. Next.js · FastAPI · PostgreSQL · OpenAI — backed by competitive University of Lincoln startup funding.
