It's where we grew up.

It's where we understood affordable housing — not simply as policy on paper.

It's where we'll continue to build.

That’s why this partnership means more than anything else.

Liiv was selected into the Buildings Tech Lab — a joint program between the NYC Department of Buildings and the Partnership Fund for New York City. DOB regulates 1.1 million buildings. It is the largest municipal building regulator in the country.

More to come.

• 👨🏽‍💻 I’m Devin Abraham, co-founder at Liiv — we turn documents into automated workflows.

• 🏛️ We just signed a pilot with one of NYC's largest public agencies. More soon.

• 🥂 NY TechWeek Happy Hour for nonprofit founders → Come find us.

• 🎤 May 12th - On Stage at Purpose Summit.

Purpose Summit by CIV:LAB.

May 12th. Civic Hall. Purpose Summit. I'm on The Builders Mic — Economic Empowerment and AI Innovation panel. If you're in New York, this is the room to be in.

Happy Hour for Non Profits.

We partnered with Michelle — founder of MAP Fundraising, $250M+ raised for nonprofits.

We’re hosting an event, and calling it Kairos.

It’s an official Tech Week event built around one question: what happens when nonprofits stop working in parallel and start working together?

NYC Pilot.

9 months in the making. One of NYC's largest public agencies — thousands of employees — still running on pen and paper workflows in 2026. We built the infrastructure to fix that. We're at the finish line. The announcement is coming. Stay tuned.

— Devin

Every year, the conversation is identical: AI. Venture. Exits. Valuations.

And every year, the people doing the hardest work in this city, don’t make the agenda.

Not the startups. The nonprofits.

RSVP.

We partnered with Michelle — founder of MAP Fundraising, $250M+ raised for nonprofits — because she understands this sector in a way most people in tech simply don’t.

We’re hosting an event, and calling it Kairos.

It’s an official Tech Week event built around one question: what happens when nonprofits stop working in parallel and start working together?

What This Is Not.

Another summit.

Another panel.

Another room full of people performing ambition.

We’re doing a happy hour.

Because the best collaboration has never happened on a stage.

The Only Goal.

Not networking. Networking is transactional.

3 to 5 real connections. The kind where you leave knowing exactly who you’re working with, what problem you’re solving, and what you’re going to build.

That’s it. That’s the whole thing.

— Devin

Liiv placed Top 8 at the 2026 Brown Venture Prize — a startup pitch competition open to all Brown undergraduate and graduate students.

We didn't finish top 3. And I mean that sincerely when I say the teams that did were life-changing. A repurposed water jug warming newborns in Uganda. A biological breakthrough feeding billions. A prescription platform for the 96 million Americans who can't afford to get sick.

That room meant something.

Pitch competitions are the spotlight. Revenue is the scoreboard. Consistency wins.

We Got the Grant.

The Nelson Center for Entrepreneurship awarded Liiv an Expand Grant — reserved for ventures with real traction and a clear next step. We’re using it to go deeper on the one thing we actually know how to do: turning government documents into automated workflows. Not pivoting. Doubling down.

We’re Testing a Marketplace.

After two years inside government workflows, a pattern became impossible to ignore: nonprofits are always in the room. Operators, stakeholders, intermediaries — embedded in the same systems we’re automating.

We didn't go looking for this market. The market kept showing up.

We’re testing a marketplace where nonprofits find more strategic partners. In doing so, we’re building a new distribution channel. Nonprofits expanding their reach becomes our reach.

Distribution is everything.

We’re selecting beta partners now. If you know a nonprofit that belongs in the room, send me their name.

Where We Could Use Help

1. We’re currently at $10K MRR, and seeking pre-seed investor introductions

2. Introductions to cities still running pen-and-paper government workflows

3. Join our nonprofit marketplace

Thanks, Devin

Most rooms are noise.

The Brown Venture Prize on March 12th won’t be.

Each year, Brown selects a small group of founders building companies and puts them in front of operators, investors, and alumni who have done it before.

This year, Liiv was selected as one of the eight finalists.

Our focus is simple: turning government documents into automated workflows.

If you’re near campus — this is the room to be in.

SLP NYC.

Liiv was selected to join SLP NYC a few months ago.

Every Tuesday night we show up in New York with a room full of founders focused on one thing:

Building.

The room holds you accountable.
Mentors tell you the truth.
The room forces you to think bigger and move faster.

We’ve heard from operators who built companies with Elon Musk on their board, and leaders like the former CEO of Axiom Space.

The message is consistent.

Building companies is hard.
You will get knocked down constantly.

Especially in New York.

The only thing that matters is getting back up and continuing to build.

That’s the game founders choose to play.

Where We Could Use Help.

• Pre-seed investor introductions

• Introductions to cities still running pen-and-paper government workflows

Thanks, Devin

Most organizations don’t have the roads, bridges or tunnels to support it.

Work is routed and stuck in inboxes, spreadsheets, and follow-ups instead.

Liiv turns a document submission into a defined, step-by-step workflow.

Rules enforced.
Tasks routed.
Records updated automatically.

We’re building the workflow infrastructure for the public sector.

Catalyst NYC.

We’re doubling down in Brooklyn.

Liiv was accepted into NYU Tandon Future Labs’ Catalyst NYC —a six-month accelerator designed to help seed-stage companies scale into institutions.

This gives us leverage: access to NYU’s engineering talent and research, plus in-kind support across legal, cloud, and fundraising—and deeper access to NYC.

Where We Could Use Help.

• Angel and pre-seed investor introductions

• Introductions to cities and municipalities still operating on pen-and-paper workflows

• Help spreading the word about what we’re building

Thanks, Devin

​

That’s Right. Documents.

We’re obsessing over how documents are created, how data is extracted, and how they’re transformed into workflows.

To long-time supporters and new readers alike—welcome to Liiv.

I’m Devin, Co-Founder and CEO, alongside Batchema, our Co-Founder and CTO.

The Problem

Most work is still trapped in dead formats—PDFs, grainy scans, and paper forms.

These aren't just files; they are operational friction.

They slow down teams, create avoidable errors, and hide the data you actually need to run your business.

Our Solution + How it Works

Liiv turns documents into live, automated workflows — end to end.

• Capture: A photo, a scan, or a PDF is ingested.

• Interpret: Our engine structures the data, regardless of the mess.

• Route: Data is instantly validated and pushed into your specific workflow.

Current deployments range from education and childcare to heavy industry and municipal government. Wherever documents create a bottleneck, Liiv creates a workflow,

We’re all in on Documents.

No adjacent bets. No distractions.
Just documents, turned into workflows — done right.

More to come on our current programming, grants, funding etc.

Thanks, Devin Abraham

Every organization runs on documents.

Forms encode intent. Contracts define obligation. Records preserve institutional memory.

Yet most documents still live as static files.

DocFlow exists to fix this.

We’re doubling down on turning documents into workflows.

We’re converting paper-based and PDF documents into structured, automated workflows—eliminating manual data entry, document tracking, and repetitive administrative work so teams can focus on their core business.

This is our focus.

This is the bottleneck we’re removing.

If this resonates and you know a team overwhelmed by paperwork—across healthcare, legal, operations, or growing businesses—we’d appreciate an introduction.

Thanks,
Devin

Today we’re rolling out the largest product leap at Liiv.

Welcome to DocFlow.

• Decision-making is buried inside PDFs, packets, scans, and forms that staff have to interpret manually.

• DocFlow fixes this by doing one thing exceptionally well: It turns any document into an automated workflow.

• Batchema & the team truly outdid themselves on this one.

From Paper → AI Workflows

DocFlow detects fields, maps logic, builds workflows, and generates completed packets — in minutes.

Parse

Read any document instantly and turn it into clean, automation-ready data with precise structural and semantic extraction.

Split

Split any packet into clear, usable pieces that flow straight into automation — no manual sorting, no clutter.

Extract & Generate

Pull only the necessary data with consistent, automation-ready outputs. Create full packets and notices automatically, ready to use.

Automation won’t replace public-sector workers. It frees them to focus on what actually matters. → Book a DocFlow demo.

Thanks, Devin Abraham

• If you’re new here, you’re joining a community that sees what we see: the public sector is running on broken systems.

• Batchema and I are building an AI-first ERP that automates 80%+ of administrative work across the public sector—a single operating system built from first principles.

Over the next few weeks, we’re breaking down the five platforms we’ve built — what they do, why they matter, and the real outcomes they’re driving.

OneLearn.

A non-profit client handed us a 325-page curriculum and asked if we could digitize it. We built a full learning system around it.

Auto-graded tests, homework, in-class assignments (📸 upload), voice essays, and digitized textbooks — OneLearn became their classroom OS.

1. Teach Mode: automated lesson plans, real-time updates, audits, organization.

2. Student Mode: assignments, tests, materials, and grades — all in one place.

3. Admin/Parent Mode: performance, analytics, oversight.

The Big Idea.

This isn’t “just an online classroom.”

It’s the backbone of modern learning — a single platform that powers skill development across the entire lifecycle:

• in schools,

• in after-school and youth programs,

• in charter networks,

• and in workforce training as adults re-skill for the AI era.

The world is shifting from “learning once” to learning forever. OneLearn is the infrastructure behind the shift to digital-first instruction.

See How It Works → Demo.

Thanks, Devin Abraham

Batchema and the team have been building the five products the public sector has been missing for decades. They’re now complete — and today, our new website is live.

Liiv is an AI-first ERP platform that digitizes and automates over 80% of administrative workflows. We’re rebuilding the public sector’s operating system from first principles.

Our Products.

We kept five products for a simple reason: every one of them ties back to the public sector’s deepest bottleneck — document-based workflows.

1. 🧾 DocFlow – Take any document, and we’ll automate it.

2. 🎓 OneLearn – We digitized the classroom.

3. 🤝 Connect – End-to-end donation logistics.

4. ⚙️ Cursus – Workforce and asset automation.

5. 💸 DonorHub – Turn everyday giving into recurring.

Where We Are Now.

MRR: $12,500
Target: $15–18K by December 2025

Our Ask

1. Customer Intros: If you know a public-sector agency — especially a nonprofit drowning in paperwork — we’d love an introduction.

2. One Lead Investor: We’re targeting a $250K lead. We have $450K in LOI commitments, contingent on a lead. If infrastructure, workflow automation, or impact sit within your thesis, we’d love to connect.

Thanks, Devin Abraham

We’ve been doubling down on a simple thesis:
The new SaaS isn’t Software as a Service.
It’s Service as a Software.

The era of Salesforce and Oracle dropping licenses, charging maintenance fees, and calling it innovation is over.

The companies that win this decade will not sell software; they’ll embody the service.

It all starts with Therapy.

Before we build anything, we listen.

Our first call isn’t a pitch — it’s a 30-minute therapy session to unpack what’s broken.

That’s something AI can’t replace — human empathy paired with technical precision.

Next, we hold a one-hour technical deep dive — mapping pain points, designing the flow.

Software built for you, not at you.

Liiv AI Engine + Platforms

Batchema and our engineering team have been heads-down on the Liiv AI Engine — the core intelligence powering every Liiv platform.

We’ve identified five platforms that cover 80% of workflows across the public sector.
By unifying them, we move faster, scale quicker, and automate deeper.

Examples of two of our platforms:

1. LMS (Learning Management System): We’ve digitized the classroom — from school districts to workforce learning — unifying education, training, and compliance into one intelligent platform.

2. Donation Management: We don’t just process payments — we own the flow of capital. From donations to disbursements, impact reports to projections — it’s your entire P&L, automated.

What we’re excited about most in the next two weeks? Our Website Reboot — and our new ability to onboard clients faster.

// Thanks, Devin Abraham

OpenAI launched the $50M People-First AI Fund (deadline: October 8th) to back nonprofits using AI for real outcomes—in housing, education, economic mobility, and civic innovation. It’s one of the few funds focused on deployment, not theory.

If your organization is applying, Liiv would love to be your tech partner.

For the past six months, we’ve been building the automation layer for the public sector—infrastructure that unifies scattered workflows and eliminates the 80% of work that keeps teams from focusing on impact.

You drive the mission. We’ll build the leverage.

Apply.

// Thanks, Devin Abraham

The right partner isn’t about moving fast — it’s about choosing with conviction.

In May, I met Batchema through YC. Two days later, I was on a flight to Charlotte. What we shared wasn’t just vision, but values: the grind, our immigrant roots, the hustle, and the shared belief that execution at scale is how we’ll change the world.

Batchema, formerly Engineering Lead in AI and Automation at Credit Karma, now leads all things tech at Liiv. With him building and me driving growth, we’re not here to play small — we’re here to win big.

📈 7x Growth in 90 Days.

We set a goal — and we hit it!

In early June, we had 4 clients. We set a public goal: reach 30+ by LDW.

Today, we’re onboarding 30+ organizations—delivering product within 48 hours.

Scaling isn’t easy. But the public sector is sending a clear signal: the urgency is real, and the value is undeniable.

💰 $10K MRR in August. Engineering Team Doubled.

Onboarding is in full motion: 3–4 new clients each week.

We’ve doubled our engineering team to keep pace. Growing pains? Of course. But our partners have been patient, collaborative, and all in.

We’re on track for $20,000 MRR by November 1.

🤝 More Intros

Growth is just the beginning. If you know a public sector org that needs automation, send them our way — we’re open to revenue shares on closed client intros.

Workflows today are fragmented—SaaS created thousands of brittle tools, and AI agents only amplify the fragility. At their core, all processes reduce to three elements:

1. who needs to connect (entities)

2. what needs to pass through the connection (information)

3. what must happen after (post-process).

Even if an AI agent is 99% reliable on one task, its accuracy falls to ~90% after 10 steps. Run that sequence 10 times, and you’re left with only ~30% reliability. We call them “hallucinations,” but it’s really just math.

Liiv takes a different path.

We unify systems into one interface, leveraging AI with proven process-automation principles. That means automating 80% of workflows with 99% reliability.

Instead of brittle step-chains, Liiv creates direct, durable links between stakeholders—combining the flexibility of AI with the trust of traditional software.

We’re starting where inefficiency is worst: nonprofits and government sectors drowning in paperwork.

By eliminating fragmentation and error, Liiv is building the automation layer for workflows—turning centuries-old, document-heavy communication into something finally dependable.

Building Workflows. Not Another AI Layer.

📉 MIT just dropped a stat that made headlines: 95% of AI pilots fail. Billions spent, little to show for it.

Naturally, a few folks sent it our way: “So how’s Liiv different?”

Here’s the thing: we’re not building pilots. We’re building workflows. Most AI projects flop because they hover above the real work — a shiny layer, not a solution. Liiv plugs directly into the mess: HUD forms, Section 8 packages, rent notices, compliance checklists.

The result? Not “AI experiments,” but 80% fewer admin hours, fewer errors, and teams that can finally breathe.

That’s why we’re not in the 95%. We’re in the 5%.

// Thanks, Devin Abraham

Over just ten weeks (June 6–August 16), we’ve grown our customer base 7x.

We’re not merely draping AI over a broken workflow—we’re recreating the workflow itself.

Typical AI inference creates brittle, non-deterministic workflows.

Instead, our agents construct deterministic flows wherever possible, ensuring automation is fast, bespoke, and reliable at scale.

The most overlooked tech opportunity in America isn’t crypto, AI, or climate.
It’s buried in the back offices of organizations funded by public dollars—housing authorities, school districts, clinics, nonprofits etc.

These are the systems that run society.
And in 2025, they still run on pen and paper.

🧾 The Breakdown

Billions are lost each year to paper-based workflows. Here's part of the breaks down:

• 🏛️ Government → $203B

• 🏥 Healthcare → $120B

• 🎓 Education → $39B

• 🏠 Housing & Real Estate → $83B

• 🚚 Logistics + Other → $34B

These are the systems that run society—and in 2025, they still run on pen and paper.

This isn’t edge-case inefficiency. It’s a $539B/year drag on the U.S. economy—$203B and 11+ billion hours lost to paper forms, retyping, and outdated PDFs.

💡 What We’re Building & Deploying

At Liiv, our AI agents are built to automate up to 80% of repetitive administrative workflows—with a focus on precision, predictability, and real-world usability.

• Initialization → Assign goals. Link tools. Define roles.

• Input Acquisition → Pull from queries, APIs, sensors.

• Context Processing → Interpret. Retrieve. Assess.

• Planning & Reasoning → Break down steps. Map tools.

• Execution & Collaboration → Act. Invoke APIs.

• Learning & Adaptation → Evaluate. Update. Adjust.

  ---

📈 What This Unlocks

• 50%–80% reduction in admin load

• 90%+ margins on scalable AI workflows

• $12.5M–$18.75M in ARR from just 300-400 clients

• A clear path from housing → education → nonprofits → global

We’re not just building software. We’re turning broken paperwork into automated infrastructure.
