Hey everyone, Christian Hammer here, founder/CEO of Ngentix. 30 years in enterprise Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Nike, AppNexus, CTO at Maersk/IBM’s TradeLens, Wayfair) before founding this one. What we do: Ngentix is an AI-native integration and operations control plane for the mid-market. The short version: integrations aren’t hard to build, they’re hard to keep. When a source system changes, everything downstream breaks, and engineers burn 20–30% of their capacity just keeping the lights on. Our platform generates self-healing adapters, you just point it at any API, MCP endpoint, or documentation, and it produces a production-ready adapter that detects upstream changes and rewrites itself. 300+ are already in production today. How we go to market: through the channel, not around it. MSPs and IT service providers deploy our platform across their client base as a managed offering, representing a new recurring revenue line for them, and dramatically less break/fix toil. What we’re looking for: • MSPs and MSSPs serving mid-market clients, especially in ERP-heavy ecosystems (Workday, Sage Intacct, Acumatica, NetSuite) • Systems integrators, ERP/CRM consultants, and fractional CIO/CTO shops who live with client integration pain • Warm paths into channel distributors and marketplaces (Pax8, Sherweb, Ingram, etc.) If you run one of these, work with one, or can make an intro, I’d love 20 minutes. Also always happy to trade notes with anyone else building for the MSP channel.
