In 2022, it was microcontrollers. Last year, magnets. Tomorrow, critical earth materials. For a European manufacturer, a single missing part doesnt just stop a machine - it stops revenue, delays life-saving surgeries, and erodes industrial sovereignty. The tragedy? The part you need is often sitting in the warehouse next door. Invisible. Because systems are fragmented and data isnt harmonised. We solve the "You Had That Part" problem. We dont just treat the symptom. We fix the root cause. The data problem. Resourcly is the Industrial AI Parts Intelligence that connects your ERP, PLM, and buried PDFs into one unified source of truth. AI-based similarity matching stops parts proliferation at the source. Geometric similarity search finds the part you already own – before your engineer starts from zero and searches for a new supplier. In a world of scarcity, findability is the ultimate competitive advantage. Sandvik, Kärcher and other global manufacturers are already live with us. Reach out via welcome@resourcly.com

Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) is a nonprofit organization that delivers an objectives-based program for massively scalable, seed-stage, science- and technology-based companies. The nine-month program employs an objectives-based mentoring process to enhance the performance of technical founders who learn from the insights of experienced entrepreneurs, with the goal of maximizing equity-value creation. Founded by Professor Ajay Agrawal in 2012 at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, the program has expanded and now has 11 sites across six countries: Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Halifax, Paris, Madison, Seattle, Estonia, Berlin, and Melbourne. The program combines 5 elements to help companies transition from science projects to scalable and financeable companies: - An emphasis on objective-setting, helping companies focus on what’s most important to their business - Focused mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs who have founded, led, and sold significant tech companies - Technical advice from world-leading scientists, engineers, and economists - Hands-on support from top business students, who embed within the company to provide business support - Opportunities to raise capital, including angels and VCs from Europe and North America The successful commercialization of cutting-edge science and technology achieved through the program has led to the creation of over CAD $35 billion in equity value.
