Move faster with smaller teams. AI as a force multiplier for lean startups.
Startups live and die on speed. AI is the single biggest lever for shipping more with fewer hires, whether that is automating ops, supercharging your founders, or building AI-native product features.

How we work with Startups
Every engagement starts with a discovery sprint, usually 2 to 4 weeks, where we map your workflows, identify the highest-ROI AI opportunities and put a 90-day roadmap on the table. From there we either deliver the work directly or work alongside your team to ship it.
FAQs about AI consulting for Startups
Should we hire an AI engineer or work with a consultant?
In the early stages, consultant. A few weeks of expert input will save you from hiring the wrong profile, picking the wrong stack and burning runway. Once your AI surface area is meaningful, hire in.
Do you take equity?
On a case-by-case basis we can structure part of the fee as equity or warrant cover for venture-backed startups. Most engagements remain cash.
