In The Blink Of AI with Georgie Healy Velocity & Vibes: How Enhance Labs Raised Millions Before Building Anything
With Haziq Nordin
About Mike Keating
Mike Keating is a co-founder of Enhance Labs, a Brisbane startup building software designed to amplify human thinking rather than replace it. It launched as a voice-first collaboration platform: users talk through rough ideas, the software asks probing questions, and the insights become shared artefacts that collaborators can build on. Its website now describes the product as a shared canvas for refining live prototypes.
In September 2025 Enhance Labs raised $2.3 million in pre-seed funding led by Blackbird Ventures, with support from QIC Ventures. Keating, a second-time founder, started the company with Haziq Nordin, its chief technology officer, and Jesse Head.
On In The Blink Of AI with Georgie Healy, he and Nordin described raising millions before they had a product, a pitch deck or even a bank account.
