The applied AI studio for independent operators and mid-market innovators

We get in the business with you — building the AI systems that move the work forward, making your team fluent as we go, and keeping you on the edge of a field that reinvents itself every week.

The shift

Everyone has the tools The leap is what your people do with them

Access is the easy part now — your team already has AI. The hard part, and the whole opportunity, is the distance between using it and getting value from it. Most companies are stuck in that gap. What separates the few who aren’t isn’t a better model. It’s that they changed how the work actually happens — and brought their people with them.

What we do

Three ways we help One way of working

However we help, the way we work is the same: next to your team, on your real problems — teaching as we build, keeping you current as the field moves, and staying through the messy part of getting people to actually use what we ship.

Education, Training & Workshops

We make your people genuinely capable with AI — hands-on, on your real work, with the same senior people who build also teaching. The skill stays in the building.

  • Executive Education
  • AI Fluency Assessment
  • Hands-On Team Training
  • Workshops & Strategic Planning
  • Team Enablement Programs
Signature

The 2-Day Agent Workshop — a team goes from prompting to building, testing, and shipping a working agentic workflow.

Agentic Workflows, Apps & Interfaces

We architect and build the agentic workflows, apps, and interfaces that run the business — wired into your real systems, built with your team, and supported through adoption.

  • Agentic Workflow Design
  • Custom AI Apps & Interfaces
  • System & Data Integration
  • Evaluation & Guardrails
  • Deployment & Adoption
Signature

Custom AI builds — production systems on your highest-value workflows, from prototype to in-use, owned by you.

AI Opportunity & Roadmap

When you need to know where to start, we find the highest-value opportunities, sequence them into a plan your team can act on, and make the tooling and build-vs-buy calls — grounded in your business, not a generic playbook.

  • AI Opportunity Assessment
  • Strategic Priorities & Roadmap
  • Tech & Tool Evaluation
  • Build-vs-Buy Analysis
  • Fractional AI Leadership
Signature

The 90-Day Roadmap — your top opportunities, sequenced, with the tooling and build-vs-buy calls made.

The ecosystem

We follow the whole field — so we can build with whatever fits you

A sample of the models, platforms, and tools we work across. Independent by design: we choose what’s right for your business, not what we’re paid to sell.

What this looks like in your business

We work where AI changes the daily work, not just the slideware. A use case from each of the worlds we know best.

Drafting & review, grounded in your work

Research, drafting, and compliance-review agents built on your own templates and prior work — first drafts in minutes, with your people reviewing instead of starting from a blank page.

Light manufacturing & distribution

The admin bottleneck, cleared

Agentic quoting, spec-checking, and order intake that absorbs the labor-intensive desk work — faster turnarounds without touching the physical line.

Multi-location operators

restaurants �� fitness · retail · hospitality
Consistency across every unit

A guest-comms and scheduling layer across all locations that surfaces problems before a regional manager would catch them — the layer your vertical software won’t ship.

PE-backed & mid-market

growth systems · GTM · new products
Built for growth, not just efficiency

Growth systems, AI-native sales & marketing/GTM, and new product and portfolio development — AI pointed at the top line and the next business line, building durable enterprise value across the portfolio. We speak both AI and the operating model, and the person we work with is always the operator.

Who we serve: founder-led and owner-operated U.S. companies, roughly $10M–$500M in revenue — from independent operators to mid-market innovators — where the decision-maker is close enough to move in weeks.

Why LeapFactors

The difference is how we work

01

We build, and we stay

We ship working systems into the real work and stay through adoption — you end with something running and owned by you, not a plan you have to execute on your own.

02

Senior people, boardroom to build

The person who scopes the work is the one who builds it — the same craft in the strategy session and in the code review.

03

Built with your team

Your people build alongside us, so they can run, extend, and improve it long after we’re gone. The capability stays in the building.

04

Independent by design

We’re model- and tool-agnostic — we pick what actually fits your business, and it’s yours, with no lock-in to whatever we happen to sell.

05

We make your people more capable

The work is pointed at amplifying your team and what they can do — never at making it smaller.

Getting started

Not sure what you need? We meet you where you are

We start by understanding your business — your goals, where you are with AI, and what’s actually in the way. Then we come back with an approach built around your outcomes, on a timeline and budget that fit. Most engagements open with a short discovery sprint, so the plan is grounded in your reality, not a template.

01

Discovery call

A short conversation about your business, your goals, and where AI could actually help.

02

Discovery sprint

We dig into where you really are and what you need, then shape an outcome-focused plan — scope, timeline, budget.

03

The work, tailored

Education, a build, or both — scoped to the plan and your budget.

e.g. a custom training: benchmark → prep on your use cases → hands-on days → re-benchmark
04

Impact assessment

Every engagement closes with a read on the value created, what we learned, and what to do next.

Get in touch

Let’s find out if we’re a fit

The studio is small on purpose, the work is real, and the fastest way to know is to talk. No deck. No pitch. We trade notes on what you’re working on — and by the end, both of us know.
