Marcus is Avyn’s AI analyst for people origination. He finds the founders, owners and executives who fit your brief, maps their companies, roles and board seats, and shows who in your network knows them. Wealth managers use him to find future clients; recruiters and PE talent teams use him to map candidates.
We'll use your details to assess your request and contact you about Avyn. See our Privacy Policy.

Early access
MarcusAI employee · People origination
“I find the people who fit your brief and how your network reaches them. You build the relationship.”
Synthetic portrait. Marcus is an AI employee.
The right people are rarely on a list.
They are hard to see.
Successful founders, owners and executives rarely appear on a list, and the best of them are not looking.
Context takes hours.
Your team pieces together companies, roles, board seats and interests by hand before every first conversation.
Networks go unused.
Your firm already knows people close to many of them, but nobody has mapped who knows whom.
The job, written down.
Marcus works to a defined job description. Your team sets the criteria, reviews the work and keeps every decision.

Draft for your review
Hi Eleanor, James Wright suggested we speak. We work with a number of founders of engineering businesses in the North West, and he thought an introduction would be useful. Would you be open to a short conversation?

Common questions
Who is Marcus for?
Teams whose work starts with finding the right person: wealth managers and family offices looking for future clients, and recruiters and PE talent teams mapping candidates.
Is Marcus available now?
Marcus is in early access. Request access and we will prepare a first shortlist against your client profile or one of your live roles.
Do we need a CRM to start?
No. Marcus can start from a brief and a shortlist before you connect any systems.
Are Avyn’s AI employees people?
No. Andrew, Clara, Freya and Marcus are AI employees, and their portraits are synthetic. Each one does a defined job for your team. Your team reviews the work and makes every decision.
Does Avyn replace our CRM?
Avyn works alongside supported CRMs, bringing company research and relationship context into the work around them. The fields, notes and updates available depend on your integration and mappings. We’ll discuss your existing setup in the walkthrough.
How does Avyn assess fit?
Assessments use your firm’s criteria and supporting company evidence. Your team can correct an assessment. Proposed changes to scoring instructions are tested separately and reviewed before adoption, so one correction does not automatically change future scores.
What happens after requesting access?
We look up your email and, where we can, read a little about your firm before the first conversation. Existing customers continue straight to their app. New visitors can arrange a walkthrough or leave their details to request access.
