Forward-Deployed Teams for AI Startups
Your deployment capacity, built, trained and managed.
Offshore forward-deployed teams who arrive already trained on AI, on your product, and on your market — before they meet your first customer.
Where growth stalls
Vertical AI products don't self-implement.
Every customer you close needs someone to integrate the product, configure it around real workflows, and drive adoption. That work doesn't disappear because the software is good.
The bottleneck to growth isn't new revenue. It's adoption and retention.
So the work lands somewhere
01
Onshore teams, hired at scale
Well-funded startups put the money into large onshore deployment teams at $160,000–$240,000+ per hire. That's defensible for a handful of senior roles, not for the volume of implementation work every new customer creates.
02
No capacity behind them
Those hires arrive with nothing underneath them: no one to carry configuration, data work, documentation and adoption follow-through. Senior people spend their weeks on it, activation slows, and the cost of each go-live eats the margin.
Onshore reality
One of the most in-demand roles in AI. And one of the hardest to fill.
$180k+
Annual cost of a single onshore forward-deployed hire, before you find one.
Scarce
Part engineer, part consultant, part operator. The profile barely exists in the local market.
Slow
Months to hire, then months to make productive, while signed customers wait.
The offering
We build, train and manage your forward-deployed team.
We recruit
Dedicated talent in the Philippines
Implementation specialists, forward-deployed engineers and vertical specialists — screened for your roles, dedicated to you alone.
We train
Before their first day inside your startup
AI and automation fluency, your product, and the vertical you sell into — all covered pre-deployment.
We manage
Everything about employing them
HR, compliance, equipment and payroll — while they work in your timezone, in your tools, on your priorities.
TRAINED BEFORE DAY ONE
Three layers, all covered pre-deployment.
Layer 01
AI and automation fluency
How AI tools, agents and automated workflows actually work — modern tooling, workflow automation, and how AI lands inside real businesses. They understand the space they're operating in, not just a job description.
Layer 02
Your product
We get trained on your software first, then train every hire on it. Your team isn't spending its first weeks teaching basics — the team lands knowing what it's deploying.
Layer 03
Industry and market context
Grounding in the vertical you sell into — legal, accounting, marketing or otherwise — so they arrive speaking the customer's language, not just the product's.
You define the roles
Who we deploy.
01
Implementation specialists
Get each customer configured, live and adopting — onboarding, workflow setup, data migration and enablement.
02
Forward-deployed engineers
Integrations, scripting and the last-mile technical work that makes your product fit the customer's real environment.
03
Vertical strategists
People who know the work your customers do. They shape the deployment plan and workflow strategy, and do the legwork your onshore team executes.
Dedicated to your startup only, working in your timezone — or your customers'.
