Jesse Alton, Founder & CEO
Building agentic AI since 2022. Hands-on from diagnosis through delivery.
Who we are
Senior diagnosis, enablement, and execution. One team.
We work with established organizations that have complexity and a modernization or AI mandate, and with the rare funded founder who needs a real technical and product organization. Typical buyers are the COO, CFO, transformation lead, or AI working group who owns the pain.
We are not a slide-deck consultancy and not a staff-aug shop. We diagnose, rank the work, train the org, and build. Then we stay to make it stick.
How we work
Free 20-minute call with research on your business. Strong Start is the bounded first month: shared language, ranked backlog, and a path to production. Then month-to-month delivery sized to the priority.
What we ship
Custom agents, RAG, model operations, data pipelines, and the operating changes that make them stick. Demo days every two weeks. Working software, not status theater.
What we will not do
Six-figure assessments before anything works. A bench of FTEs on day one. Vendor pitches dressed as strategy. If a cheaper tool solves your problem, we will tell you.
What we stand for
Three rules we do not break.
Don't mess with people's money
Working software every two weeks. No endless discovery. No deliverables that are just decks.
Adaptable by design
Model selection, PII boundaries, audit trails, and human-in-the-loop from day one. Capable of responding to 'new known-unknowns'.
Outcomes over outputs
Every engagement is tied to a KPI leadership already cares about. If we cannot measure it, we do not build it.
The team
US-based senior people across product, engineering, finance, and legal.
A deep bench of specialists sits behind every offering on the services page. These are the people you will actually work with.
