Custom AI and consulting for companies from startups to industry leaders like Podium and Gallagher
Two ways in

Where companies start.

Same senior team, same way of running it. Start wherever you are.

Software Development Build my project.

We scope it, build it, manage it and maintain it. You hire nobody else.

AI Transformation Modernize what we run on.

The legacy tool, the rented stack, the manual workflow. Rebuilt around AI.

What we are great at

Faster builds. Higher quality.

AI-enabled development means what took a department now takes a handful of senior people. Less time, less money.

Small senior teamsA senior architect leads every build. No junior bench.
We build with AI, not around itAgentic workflows inside our development cycle.
Global engineering talentUS leadership, engineers across Europe and Central Asia.
Built with the end in mindHow it gets maintained is decided before the build starts.
Common projects

The projects companies bring us.

A build, an AI upgrade, or both.

A project nobody has time to build

It matters, it keeps getting pushed, and your engineers are on the roadmap.

A prototype that needs to be real

It works in a demo. It is nowhere near secure, scalable or supportable.

A legacy system in the way

The platform you run on blocks every new product, state or customer you want to add.

Software you rent that does not fit

A stack of subscriptions stitched together with exports and copy and paste.

Work being done by hand

Reports rebuilt every week, manual steps across inboxes and spreadsheets.

A team at capacity

You have engineers. You need horsepower, not a hiring cycle.

Speed to execution

We scope it, staff it and start. Faster than a hiring plan.

US based, global reach

Leadership and architecture in the US. Engineers across Europe and Central Asia.

Lower cost than building it yourself

No recruiting, benefits or bench. You pay for the build, not a department.

A proven track record

Twenty years of enterprise software, twelve companies in our own portfolio, and senior leads who have shipped this before.

One partner, end to end

Scope, build, launch and maintain under one roof. Nothing gets handed to a vendor you have to manage.

The shift

Time for an AI upgrade.

Trusted by teams up to the Fortune 250

Stage 1Most companies
Experimenting

Teams try AI tools on their own, one task at a time.

Stage 2Table stakes
Adopting

Licenses and logins roll out across the company.

Stage 3Where the value is
Transforming

The systems get rebuilt. The results show up in hours and dollars.

Where AI implementation without expertise falls short
Pilots that stalled after the demo
Licenses nobody opens after month one
A core system one person knows how to run
Software stacked on software, none of it talking

Questions

Common questions.

Do you only do AI work?
No. AI transformation is most of what we do, and we also build custom software, extend teams and solve single technical problems with the same senior people.
How fast can you start?
Fast. We scope the work, staff it with a senior lead we have shipped with before, and get moving without a long procurement cycle.
Do we need a technical team?
No. We bring the senior lead, the lead consultant and the engineer. Your team brings the knowledge of how the work gets done.
Who maintains it after launch?
The full-time engineer hired during discovery, a fractional chief architect, or your own team. You choose, and you can change it later.
How is it priced?
Every engagement is scoped to the project. Start a conversation and we will walk you through the framework and what yours would look like.
