SME Growth in the Age of AI: What to Expect at Trivoh’s London Launch Event

A practical evening for SME founders, operators, and growth leaders who want to turn AI from noise into measurable business outcomes.

Date: Thursday 21 May 2026
Time: 6:00 PM – 8:15 PM
Location: Eclectic Gallery, 16 Newman Street, Fitzrovia, London, W1T 1PB
Hosted by: Tanya Hadzhieva

The problem most SMEs are not talking about

Most small and medium-sized businesses are not short of activity. Meetings happen. Tasks get assigned. Tools get used. But outcomes, measurable, consistent, scalable outcomes, often remain unclear or delayed.

The reason is rarely a lack of effort. It is almost always structural:

• Too many disconnected tools
• Too little ownership of actions
• No single system connecting customer-facing work with internal execution

This is the problem Trivoh was built to solve. And on 21 May 2026, we are bringing together SME founders, operators, and growth leaders in London for an evening designed to address it directly.

What is the Trivoh London launch event?

SME Growth in the Age of AI: From Activity to Outcomes is a curated, practical evening for SME founders and operators who want to understand how to use AI not as a concept, but as a working system that drives measurable business results.

It is a structured session built around:

• Expert-led insight
• A live Trivoh platform demonstration
• Curated networking
• Practical conversations for business leaders

The evening takes place at one of Central London’s most distinctive creative spaces: Eclectic Gallery in Fitzrovia.

Who is attending

Bukola Akin — Head of Operations, TRCOMS LTD

Topic: How SMEs Cut Cost and Move from Activity to Outcomes

Bukola will walk through the specific points where SMEs are overspending, often without realising it, and why tool fragmentation creates hidden inefficiencies that compound over time.

This session will cover:

• Where growing businesses lose money operationally
• Why busy teams often fail to move forward
• How disconnected tools create drag and confusion
• What immediate operational improvements leaders can make

This is a session for anyone managing a growing team who suspects their current setup is costing more than it should.

Roop Bhadury — AI Researcher & PhD Candidate, London School of Economics

Topic: Can AI Make Us Smarter and More Productive — Not Just Faster?

Roop brings a scientific and grounded perspective on AI as cognitive infrastructure rather than a productivity shortcut.

His framework, Polywork, challenges the assumption that one person can only hold one complex project at a time. It explores what it means for a small team to operate with the capacity of a much larger one without burning out or compromising quality.

Roop is an entrepreneur and technologist with over two decades of experience across the US, Australia, India, and the UK, and is currently pursuing a fully funded PhD in AI at the LSE.

Nika Kirpichenko & Constantin Botezat — Owners, Eclectic Gallery

Topic: Inside Eclectic Gallery: Space, Art, and Community

Nika and Constantin will share the vision behind Eclectic Gallery and explore how physical environments influence:

• Decision-making
• Creativity
• The quality of business relationships
• The atmosphere of meaningful conversations

Their session will show why the right space is not a luxury, but a competitive advantage.

Live Trivoh platform demo

Attendees will see Trivoh in action through a live walkthrough of the platform’s core features and a clear picture of how SMEs can get started.

The demo will give guests a practical view of how Trivoh helps businesses:

• Connect communication and execution
• Reduce operational friction
• Keep customer opportunities visible
• Stop internal actions from falling through the cracks

Founding member benefits will also be presented on the night for those who want early access.

The raffle: Balvane wines

A little extra to look forward to on the evening.

Emilio Balvanera and his company Balvane will once again be supporting the event’s raffle draw. Every guest attending on the night will have the chance to win a premium bottle of wine.

A genuine thank you to Emilio and Balvane for their continued support of this community.

Why this event matters for SMEs in 2026

The conversation around AI and business productivity has been dominated by hype. What most SME founders actually need is not another framework or theoretical model. It is a practical answer to a more urgent question:

How do I make my business work better, right now, with the team I have?

That is what this evening is built around.

The focus is not theory. The focus is practical execution:

1. How to reduce wasted operational effort
2. How to improve visibility and accountability
3. How to use AI in ways that actually improve business performance
4. How to move from activity to outcomes

Event format

Dress code: Smart casual.

Who should attend

This event is designed for:

• SME founders and co-founders scaling beyond the early stage and hitting operational friction
• Operations and COO-level leaders looking for practical ways to reduce cost and improve execution
• Heads of growth and customer success managing client relationships across dispersed teams
• Founders exploring AI tools who want practical application, not theory
• Anyone building a cross-border or multi-timezone business who needs systems that work across locations and time zones
