We were the first company we rebuilt around AI.
Startwise was founded before LLMs, so we had to rewire how we hire, ship, and operate — on ourselves, before anyone else. Nothing we put in front of you is theory. Now we do it for the two kinds of teams we’d want as friends: startups going AI-native, and small businesses finally getting the back office they were never going to hire.
For startups
From pre-AI to AI-native industry leader.
We help founders rebuild the company around AI — every workflow, every role, every assumption — so revenue per employee climbs and the team gets sharper, not smaller. A force multiplier for your people, not a replacement for them. The goal isn’t a tool rollout; it’s becoming the AI-native leader in your category — without inheriting the politics and malaise that slow big companies down.
Operators, not advisors. We don’t hand you a deck and leave. We embed, ship, and train until the work belongs to you — the same way we ran it on ourselves.
What that’s looked like
A Series B CFO came to us for his own training before he’d mandate anything for his team — he wanted proof it was real first. We’re now training his whole company.
A Series B CRO racing toward Series C couldn’t carry deadweight. We taught his team to scratch their own itch — run their own experiments and drive AI insights into net-new revenue and churn — instead of waiting on anyone.
For small businesses
The back office you were never going to hire.
You didn’t start your business to spend half your day on email, invoicing, scheduling, and follow-ups — and you were never going to hire someone to do it. We review every human, job description, and SOP against the metrics that actually move EBITDA, show you exactly where you sit on the AI maturity roadmap, and map where you can be in the next 90 days.
What that’s looked like
An RIA firm started by learning how AI actually works. Now they’re rebuilding every SOP with us and right-sizing their ops-to-delivery ratio — same output, a leaner team.
Talk to us first.
No deck, no song and dance. Tell us where you are, and we’ll tell you honestly what’s worth doing in the next 90 days — and whether we’re the ones to do it.
