We help essential industries automate and scale with AI.

While the AI wave has reached across software and creative industries, high-volume distributors and manufacturers have often been left behind. These industries form the backbone of the economy, yet they frequently operate on outdated tools, overwhelmed call centers, and disconnected systems.

Their operations are complex and often rely on manual workflows, and they can’t access the frontier technologies that drive digital-first businesses. In a world where startups mostly build for startups, we serve the large enterprises in real industries that keep America running. We’re a team of relentless builders, ex-founders, and innovators who thrive on solving hard problems and making a tangible impact.
