The trusted layer for B2B buying — for executives and their AI agents.
MaxedS ranks technology companies on sourced evidence in SalesBook, lets AI assistants and agents query that ranking through the SalesBook connector, and runs the Decision Desk: structured, buyer-designed reviews with Fortune 500 and large-enterprise buyers that end in a written decision.
Gartner expects 90% of B2B buying to be AI agent intermediated by 2028; most buyers already prefer to skip the sales rep. Outreach floods their inboxes, and nothing in the middle is neutral and verifiable. The evidence
Leadership with 20+ years selling into the Fortune 500. A live Decision Desk with enterprise buyers. Three deployments in production. A sourced index of 4,409 companies, public and queryable by agents today.
As agents come to intermediate B2B buying, the source they trust sits in the path of every purchase. We are building that source.
B2B buying is going agentic. Trust has not caught up.
Buyers are moving research and shortlisting to AI, and away from sales reps. Sellers are using the same AI to send outreach at any scale. Both point to one need: a source that buyers, and the agents acting for them, can trust and check.

Buyers want to self-serve, and do not trust what they find
67% of B2B buyers say they prefer to buy without a sales rep; 45% used AI during a recent purchase.

AI answers “often deliver incomplete or unreliable information, creating mistrust,” so vendors must ensure “their claims can be validated through trusted external voices.”

Today the places a buyer, or a buyer’s agent, can look are vendor claims, pay-to-play directories and rankings, and data locked behind seat licences. Outreach tools optimize for volume. No one in the middle is neutral, sourced and open to checking. That is the layer MaxedS is building: the honest broker in B2B, holding both threads, buyer and seller, for people now and for their agents next.
We built it because we didn’t find it.
We spent more than twenty years selling technology into the Fortune 500, and since 2021 we have brought younger technology companies to large enterprise buyers. We kept looking for an honest, verifiable way for the two to find each other, and could not find one.
The data sat behind seat licences and paywalls. Directories and rankings were pay-to-play. Outreach tools were built for volume, not trust. Buyers had no neutral place to check a vendor’s claims, and strong companies had no credible way to be found by the people who own the problem.
So we built the layer ourselves: a ranking built on sourced evidence, with each source shown, a connector that agents can query, and a desk where the buyer sets the terms. We run our own Decision Desk on it first.
MaxedS exists to help great technology companies succeed with the enterprises that need them.
One system, in three layers.
Data, access and decision, each standing on the one below. Built the way AWS was: we run our own desk on these tools first, then open them.
SalesBook
A sourced ranking of technology companies: 449 ranked of 4,409 indexed across Retail & CPG, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Education and cross-industry platforms, under published methodology v0.2.7, built on sourced evidence and open to founder correction.
Open SalesBookThe SalesBook connector
An MCP connector that lets AI assistants and agents query SalesBook directly, built for buyer and seller agents alike. Live at mcp.maxeds.org.
Add it to your assistantThe Decision Desk
Structured, buyer-designed reviews with Fortune 500 and large-enterprise buyers, each ending in a written decision; three have led to deployments now in production.
See the deploymentsHow a Decision Desk review runs
The enterprise sponsor sets the brief, the evaluation criteria and the decision panel, and engages the company as a client for a defined evaluation or pilot, not as an investor. Companies are screened against those criteria, independent of any single fund’s portfolio. A standard technical pre-read replaces the sales demo. Each review ends in a written decision record the enterprise owns: proceed to pilot, proceed with defined security conditions, or close.
Trust rails for B2B commerce.
The same system extends in two directions. A mutual-match network, where executives post a brief and see only a few vetted matches. And an outcome record, so that every decision makes the rankings smarter. The endgame is trust rails for B2B commerce, as smooth as Stripe made payments, for executives and for the agents that act for them.
Three enterprise deployments.
Startup platforms taken through a MaxedS-run evaluation into production at large US enterprises. Vendors are named; clients are described, not named.
An ITAR-regulated US aerospace manufacturer needed automated accounts-payable processing within strict compliance boundaries. MaxedS structured the technical evaluation and integration path. E42’s platform handles invoice data extraction, three-way matching, and Oracle ERP writeback.
A US healthcare supplies provider needed automated analysis of sensitive patient documentation. MaxedS facilitated the enterprise review with clinical and security stakeholders. The result was an AI Medical Notes Analyst that operates within HIPAA requirements and cut processing cycle time by more than 80%.
A Fortune 500 manufacturer needed to modernize B2B payment reconciliation, dispute workflows, and invoicing across several ERP instances. MaxedS ran the client-designed review that led to a master services agreement in 2023 and rollout.
The United States and India.
The United States is our market; it is where the buyers are. India is where many of the companies we represent are built. We expect to add regions over time.
Priority verticals: Retail & CPG, Manufacturing, Healthcare and Education, plus cross-industry platforms. We go deep in these rather than wide.
