Jenny Allan.
Founder & Editorial Director
Jenny is the founder of Cllimber and the person behind its core idea: helping businesses find the best software & service providers for their industry — software intelligence built around your sector, not a generic directory with an industry tag applied. Having previously founded multiple businesses, including a technology company, she knows first-hand the financial risk and wasted time involved in vetting new software.
She directs the Cllimber research team and the Opportunity Index — the published, DOI-linked dataset that scores which categories of software create the most competitive advantage in each of the ten sectors Cllimber covers. Her standard is consistent across every hub: placement reflects genuine fit for the industry, never volume, self-submission, or advertising.
Jenny's mission is to make AI accessible and practical for everyone — helping businesses find safe, useful tools at Cllimber.com, and helping people learn to use AI in everyday life through the courses at Cllimber.ai.
Curated, not aggregated.
Most platforms run on reviews, self-submission, and advertising. Jenny built Cllimber on a different principle: surfacing the best software & service providers through a published research dataset that scores which categories create the most competitive advantage per industry — and editorial standards that hold every hub to it.
Read the Opportunity Index →Industry-specific categories
Each hub covers the categories identified as high-opportunity for that sector specifically — not a generic set of business software with an industry tag applied.
Research-backed selection
The Cllimber Opportunity Index 2026 scores which categories of software create the most competitive advantage per industry — published on Kaggle with a DataCite DOI.
Updated and maintained
The Opportunity Index is reviewed and updated annually. New platforms are added, categories reassessed, and curation decisions revisited to reflect how businesses in each industry actually operate.
