Our Story
Why this matters personally. How we got here. Where we're going.
The Realization
After years building enterprise AI systems at Fortune 500 scale—xAI Colossus, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, IBM Enterprise—Shawn saw a pattern: the same capabilities that cost millions could be built for a fraction of the cost. The complexity was artificial. The gatekeeping was intentional.
The Injustice
Why should only Fortune 500s get this capability? A 5-person real estate team has the same need for intelligent automation as a 500-person enterprise. The difference isn't technical—it's economic gatekeeping.
The Partnership
Josh brought 20+ years of SMB operations experience from mortgage lending. He'd seen firsthand how technology either serves businesses or complicates them. Together, they had the technical depth and business understanding to build something different.
The Mission
Make enterprise AI accessible without enterprise budgets. Not by dumbing it down, but by removing artificial complexity. Same governance. Same security. Same capabilities. Different economics.
The Approach
Governance-first, transparency-always, bootstrap economics. No VC pressure means no artificial timelines. No exit pressure means building for permanence. 20-year horizon means doing it right.
The Journey
SYNAPTICA is deployed. SOPHIA governance is enforced via SOPHIA-CODE. ASO beta launches Q1 2026. ExecutionIQ follows. Industry applications are being researched. The platform is real. The mission continues.
