93 project signals from 46 companies hit the network in the first two weeks of March.
20 of them reference AI. Not "exploring AI." Not "thinking about AI."
A Principal Engineer at Cisco:
"I am leading the genAI adoption for our development work. I am evaluating several agentic and low-code approaches to evolve our practices."
A Director of IT at a hospitality company:
"Not sure what users are doing with AI and I have no way to track or have any visibility — and I need to find that."
A VP of IT at a $16B pharma company:
"We want to ensure PHI, PII, and corporate confidential data is not getting into these models."
These aren't pilot conversations. They're governance, security, and operational control conversations. The budget already moved. Now they're buying the guardrails.
Most vendors don't find out about these projects until the RFP drops. By then, the shortlist is already set.

Members typically take 2-3 vendor meetings per quarter. Once they've had them, the window closes.
What they're actively working on
AI governance and visibility — tracking what employees are doing with AI before it becomes a compliance event
Agentic AI security — new platforms to manage the risks of AI agents in production
Identity stack overhauls — replacing legacy IAM and evaluating alternatives to current providers
Cloud FinOps — large-scale migrations triggering urgent need for spend visibility and governance
Deepfake defense across finance, legal, and executive communications
Vulnerability management automation for in-house codebases using AI
SASE / Zero Trust rollouts replacing legacy VPN architectures
Contact center QA automation for federal clients (18-month initiative, exploratory now)
Remote endpoint security for distributed sales and call center teams
Third-party vendor risk quantification — replacing manual spreadsheets and open-source tools
Why vendors keep coming back
78% of meetings in our network advance to a next step. Not a "nice to meet you" — a demo, a follow-up, a referral to the buying committee.
One partner told us this month that paid meetings through DoGood are delivering better ROI than the events they run — and they spend meaningfully on events. They're reallocating budget because the prospect qualification is stronger and the conversion path is shorter.
This isn't a lead list. These are opt-in meetings with IT leaders who chose to be there. Members rate meetings 8.2 out of 10 on average. They're not doing you a favor — they're actively evaluating.
These signals come from IT leaders who joined DoGood to find solutions to real problems. Not intent data. Not surveys. Not webinar registrations.
Real people. Real projects. Real budgets forming right now.
You can't cold-call a CISO at a $48B company and get 30 minutes. You can't buy a list that tells you a VP at Samsonite is rebuilding their identity stack right now. But these leaders are in the network, requesting meetings, and most of them will have a shortlist inside 60 days.
If you want to be on it, reply and I'll show you how to get in front of them.
