Startup AI Consulting

Not every startup needs AI, but for those that do, getting the strategy right early is critical. We help founding teams cut through the hype, identify where AI creates genuine value in their product, and build a technical plan that's ambitious but executable with limited resources.

• AI Opportunity Assessment — We evaluate your product, market, and data to identify where AI can create a defensible advantage versus where simpler solutions work better.
• Model Selection & Architecture — Choosing between fine-tuning, RAG, prompt engineering, or building custom models. We help you pick the right approach for your stage and budget.
• Build vs. Buy Analysis — When to use third-party AI APIs, when to build in-house, and how to structure your stack to keep options open.
• Data Strategy — Identifying what data you need, how to collect it ethically, and how to build data flywheels that improve your AI over time.
• Technical Due Diligence — Preparing your AI architecture, evaluation metrics, and technical documentation for investor scrutiny.

We work in focused, time-boxed engagements designed for startup pace:

• Deep-dive workshops with your technical and product teams.
• Hands-on prototyping to validate feasibility before committing to a full build.
• Clear, actionable deliverables — not 50-page reports that collect dust.
• Ongoing advisory availability for technical decisions as they come up.

This service is designed for pre-seed to Series B startups that are either exploring AI as a core product feature or looking to add AI capabilities to an existing product. We work with both technical and non-technical founders.
