Business Plan & Financials (Validated)

Name: Findable (findable.sh) Entity: Delaware C-Corp (+ India subsidiary for engineering) Mission: Build the security and discovery infrastructure for the agent skills ecosystem Type: B2B2D (Business-to-Business-to-Developer) platform


The agent skills ecosystem (~130-150K unique skills, 8,600-17,800 MCP servers) has a proven security crisis (32-41% critical vulnerabilities), fragmented discovery (5+ registries with no unified search), and zero governance infrastructure for enterprises.

The Solution — three layers (sequenced by validation):

  • Shield (Security) — Open-source scanner, trust scores, verified publishers — VALIDATED NOW
  • Search (Discovery) — Cross-platform, semantic, quality-scored — VALIDATED NOW
  • Enterprise (Governance) — Private registries, policies, audit logs — EMERGING (Composio $2M ARR)
  • Commerce (Monetization) — Marketplace, payments, revenue share — DEFERRED (<$100K/mo ecosystem)

vs. Prior projections: Year 5 was $63M (base case). Revised to $11.45M (base case). This is 82% lower but grounded in validated data. The prior model assumed 500K registered developers and $3.6M/month GMV — both unrealistic given current ecosystem state.
