Solsten

Last week, we kicked off our crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. For the first time in the history of Solsten, anyone who believes that the future of AI should feel more human is able to own a piece in Solsten. Why this moment matters: 2025 will be remembered as the year AI accelerated beyond expectations, yet it also revealed a meaningful gap. More automation did not guarantee more connection. People wanted products that felt personal, intuitive, and emotionally aware. Solsten exists to bridge this gap, bringing human understanding back into AI. This week, we are hosting a webinar for investors to share more on the need for psychological data in the $2 trillion AI industry, why Investors have invested $35M to date in Solsten and talk about the limited opportunity to invest in Solsten on Start Engine. 📅 Live webinar: December 17 ⏰ 5pm PT / 7pm ET 🎟️ Seats are filling fast - save yours here: https://luma.com/wyoyud5f Reg. CF via StartEngine Primary, LLC (FINRA/SIPC). High Risk, Speculative, Illiquid.

Most AI predicts behavior. Very few understand why it happens. As reported by Forbes, human psychology is the missing piece to the $2 trillion AI industry. AI is entering a new era where models must understand people, not just patterns. Solsten unlocks the psychology behind human behavior using one of the world’s largest psychological datasets, built from 1.5M direct assessments and AI analysis.  Solsten now has opened a Reg-CF public offering, giving individuals the chance to explore ownership in a company shaping the next generation of AI. Join our webinar to learn how psychological data is reshaping the next era of AI, why Investors have invested $35M to date in Solsten and find out more about the limited opportunity to invest in the future of AI on Start Engine. 🎉 We’re excited to invite you to our live webinar taking place on December 17 at 5pm PT / 7pm ET. 🎟️ Save your seat here: https://luma.com/wyoyud5f Reg.

Something extraordinary is taking shape where humanity, technology, psychology, and play meet. Today, we open the doors to it for the very first time, and we’re excited to share the moment with you. For years, Solsten has helped companies like LEGO, Peloton, Sony, and Meta better understand the deeper reasons behind human behavior. As reported by Forbes, human psychology is increasingly seen as a key missing piece in how AI creates real-world value. Solsten has spent nearly a decade building toward that insight. Today, for the first time, individuals can explore our Reg CF offering through our campaign on StartEngine - not just large enterprises or institutions, but anyone who believes the future of AI should feel more human. If you choose to participate, you’ll be supporting a mission focused on bringing more humanity into the technology people use every day. Learn more on our StartEngine campaign page: https://lnkd.in/eT3GnUMP Investments can only be made through the offering page on StartEngine. This Reg CF offering is made available through StartEngine Primary LLC, member FINRA/SIPC. This investment is speculative, illiquid, and involves a high degree of risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment.

Ever poured weeks into a campaign or piece of content… only to watch it flop? It’s not your ideas. It’s the fact that, until now, testing what really resonates was out of reach - reserved for the likes of Sony, Peloton, and Epic Games.

We’ve built something that lets you: ✨ Turn raw ideas into campaigns in minutes ✨ See how they land before you launch ✨ Test against audiences you actually want to reach Think of it as audience testing, creating, and creative validation - without the agency price tag. 👀 We just dropped a sneak peek on Product Hunt if you are already curious: https://lnkd.in/ebSM36vj

We're starting to get the first wave of Elaris user feedback, and wanted to share some of the most exciting quotes we've seen: "Elaris shines a blatant spotlight on OpenAI's primitive beginnings." "This is the fastest and easiest route to communicating effectively with your customers." "Elaris is the first AI tool that actually feels like a creative partner. It helps me get clear on who I'm writing for and gives me ideas that are actually useful." "Being able to confidently apply the lens of relevant brands gives me a clearer voice compared to other AI tools. It's enough to stand out in a market flooded with AI-generated communication." The common thread? These creators moved beyond generic AI advice to psychological understanding. While competitors guess based on demographics, they know what truly drives decisions.

From gaming to healthcare, psychology-driven marketing works everywhere. 🎮 Gaming: Understand why different player types engage with different mechanics 📱 SaaS: Predict feature preferences based on user personality types 🛒 E-commerce: Discover psychological factors that predict conversion and LTV 🏥 Healthcare: Identify what psychological factors influence treatment compliance 💰 Finance: Analyze investor psychology and decision-making patterns The pattern? Industries that understand customer psychology outperform those that rely on demographics. Traditional market research: "Millennials value authenticity" Psychological insights: "Achievement-oriented millennials respond to progress messaging, while security-focused millennials prefer stability signals" Same generation. Opposite marketing strategies. When you understand the psychology behind customer decisions, you can predict behavior instead of just reacting to it.

We tested ChatGPT vs Elaris with the same question: "What motivates natural skincare shoppers?" ChatGPT: "Natural skincare buyers are driven by health, environmental, and ethical considerations..." Elaris: "This audience is driven by ambition, security, and personal growth, with strong emphasis on tangible rewards and respect. Their motivation is practical, goal-oriented..." The difference in actionability: ChatGPT tells you: "Emphasize sustainability and transparency" (Every skincare brand already does this) Elaris tells you: "Position as professional advancement tool, emphasize ROI over experimentation, create achievement recognition programs" (Clear differentiation opportunity) One gives you the same advice everyone gets. The other reveals psychological drivers your competitors are missing. Which approach builds competitive advantage? 🙂
