Raul Lee Bhaskaran · Advocate & solicitor. Founder. Producer.
Most things get built in one lane. I build between the lanes.
Law, AI, neuroscience, sound. The problems worth solving sit in the overlaps, so that's where I build. I ship my own products there, and once or twice a year I take one on with someone else. What I look for is the half I don't carry: distribution, capital, a route to market. Two doors below: build with me, or take a project I've opened up and run. Narrow on purpose.
Not a scatter of side projects; a single thesis with a working build engine behind it. AI-native products at the seams of law, education, and culture. Each of these is a door. Walk through whichever one fits.
Chances are you won't do anything with them; almost no one does. Execution is the moat, and it's wider than people like to admit. So take the idea, it's yours. The only thing worth protecting is the conversation with the person who actually ships. That sits behind the one filter that means anything: skin in the game. If that's you, come through the door, not the inbox.
02 / Open projects
Biz plans in a box.
Real plays I'd run if I had more of me. The hook, the wedge, and a conservative revenue read are on the table. The mechanism, the numbers, and the people stay redacted until you're actually in.
Ledger
MVP-readyWeeksNear-zero capital
Done-for-you, compliance-safe content for Malaysian regulated professionals.
Advocates, licensed financial planners and doctors can't market like normal businesses; the Bar's advertising rules, the SC, and the MMC are strict and almost nobody understands them. Compliant content is a moat, not a commodity, and the rules change slowly enough to encode once.
Conservative: RM 8k-17.5k MRR at a RM 390/mo retainer, 20-45 professionals.
+ Legal grounding (RLB Advocates)
+ A working voice-locked content pipeline
+ Proof-of-concept running on Raul's own channels
Redacted until you're in
•The compliance rule-set encoded into the generator
•The retainer ladder above RM 390
•The Bar-Council-safe positioning that keeps clients clear of trouble
Wayfinder
ValidatedMonthsModerate capital
White-label AR heritage trails, sold to Malaysian state and municipal tourism bodies.
States have the heritage and the budgets; they lack the tech and a credible builder. Niantic open-sourced 8th Wall, so the cost floor for web-AR just collapsed. First mover writes the template every other state copies.
+ A credible government-facing route to the boards
Redacted until you're in
•The per-deployment pricing build-up
•The channel partner introducing the boards
•The post-8th-Wall cost reduction that protects the margin
Briefcase
ScopedWeeksLow capital
Plain-language contract risk reports for Malaysian SMEs, sold through their accountants.
Every SME signs contracts it never reads, and a lawyer is too slow and dear for a quick gut-check. Accountants and company secretaries already hold the trust and the client list; this is a paid add-on they resell, not a cold product.
Conservative: RM 9k-20k/mo at RM 79/report, ~120-250 reports a month across a handful of partner firms.
+ A retrieval + risk-scoring pipeline proven on MatSelamat
+ A B2B2C channel through accountant and co-sec networks
+ Domain candidates held
Redacted until you're in
•The liability-scoring mechanism and its guardrails
•The revenue split with partner firms
•The two firms already warm to reselling it
Resonance
ScopedMonthsLow capital
An AI layer that turns an anonymous live audience into the night's decisions, and into the proof the sponsors paid for.
Owning the audience is step one; the money is in turning it into decisions and proving it to the brands. Most data plays stall as expensive lakes nobody acts on. The activation layer (predictive, psychographic, brand-facing) is the unbuilt half, and it's worth more than the data underneath it.
Conservative: RM 15k-40k per brand-attribution engagement, plus recurring intelligence retainers with venues and promoters.
+ A production AI pipeline proven across shipped products
+ Applied-neuroscience and psychometric modelling (HEXACO, MSc) for reading a crowd, not just counting it
+ Inside the live-experience economy, not adjacent to it (a label, an ADE showcase, an artist project)
+ Privacy and data-sharing rails that keep cross-party data lawful (advocate; proven on MatSelamat)
Redacted until you're in
•The anonymised audience-data layer this sits on top of
•The psychographic model and the sponsor-attribution method
•The platform partner and the two brand pilots already in the room
Greenroom
IdeaMonthsModerate capital
A booking, rider and settlement layer for Southeast Asia's underground music circuit.
Promoters and collectives run this on WhatsApp and spreadsheets; there's no Resident-Advisor-grade tool tuned for SEA's informal, cash-heavy, multi-currency reality. The edge here is first-hand scene access, not a deck.
Conservative: RM 2k-5k MRR at RM 89/mo across 25-60 promoters and collectives, KL out to the region; ticketing take-rate is the upside.
+ First-hand scene access through Cliff Coffin and the label
+ A reusable multi-tenant architecture
+ A short list of promoters who'd pilot it
Redacted until you're in
•The take-rate model on ticketing and settlement
•Which promoters committed to pilot
•The payments workaround for cash-first markets
