SHED IQ

The Shed's Opportunity Intelligence layer.

SHED IQ helps members discover relevant funding, mentors, investors, trainers, collaborators, current affairs and business opportunities — before they know where to look. It never replaces human relationships. It amplifies them.

What's live today: a first, rule-based version of SHED IQ runs on your dashboard. It matches your selected roles and journey stage against curated opportunities and trainer services, and explains why each suggestion appears — no machine learning yet, just transparent rules over trusted data. This is deliberate: per our AI Governance principles, evidence comes before inference.
SHED IQ is being introduced progressively. As more trusted profiles, bookings and opportunities accumulate, recommendations will get sharper — always staying evidence-based, never based on vanity metrics.
