The Forward-Deployed Engineer Company.

We build your AI system together with your team. Our engineers do the heavy lifting, and you steer at every checkpoint. Your team ends up running and extending it, with us beside them for as long as that takes.

02How we work

A working system, and a team that can build it further.

Your project moves faster on the build capacity we bring in. Then we hand the system over to your team, and stay until they can work on it without us.

This is your engineering team. A few of them already work AI-native. Most have not had the chance yet.

03Practitioners

Your team builds beside people who have shipped AI systems at the frontier.

Our practitioners have run large AI systems inside Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and Amazon. They know what breaks, what holds, and what to check before anything goes live. Working beside them, your engineers pick that up too.

Our practitioners hold roles at these companies today.

The projects we build across the customer lifecycle

We take on projects that work across the entire customer lifecycle.

01 ACQUISITION02 ENGAGEMENT03 CONVERSIONRETENTIONCHURN

Acquisition

Finding the right accounts and reaching them with a message they answer: market maps, account scoring, researched outreach sent on a buying signal.

Engagement

Turning interest into a conversation fast: every reply and inbound lead scored, routed and followed up the same day.

Conversion

Helping the people who close: every sales call scored, a coaching note for each rep, first-draft proposals built from what has won before.

Retention / Churn

Keeping the customers you have: onboarding that gets them active sooner, support that answers faster, and the accounts likely to leave spotted while there is still time to act.

05Results

Success, for us, is your team carrying on without us.

An engagement has worked when your team runs the system, extends it, and picks up the next project without us. We plan for that from the first week.

US safety-tech companyShipped

One short engagement took a client's 22 engineers from first conversation to working systems.

US mid-market PE fundIn progress · 2026

The fund's operating group and portfolio tech leads, building working AI systems in their own environments.

16-country telecom groupShipped · Q1–Q2 2026

Four countries, 130+ engineers now building AI systems inside the group. Its first co-build pods came out of this work.

06Team

A leadership team that works on the projects.

Each of them works directly with the customer's team on the project, from discovery to hand-over.

Two ways to work with us

Builds

We build it, and your team takes it over

Two weeks of discovery with your steering group, then about eight weeks of build by our engineers, with checkpoints you steer. In the last two weeks your team learns the system, builds the final piece itself, and takes it on.

How a build works

Engineers

Capacity: our engineers join your team

When AI-native engineers are hard to find, we add capacity. Senior engineers with hands-on experience of AI systems in production join on contract-to-hire, direct placement, or as a managed pod.

Let's compare notes.

We work with teams across many industries, and we have a fair share of learnings on what works and what does not. The most common failure we see: teams do not build their own capability, so they cannot scale what they deliver with AI. Book thirty minutes and we will exchange notes: what is working for you, what is not, and what we are seeing.
