Join A Team That Pushes The Limits With AI For 100s Of Businesses
We find what slows your company down, then build the systems that fix it. It’s the work we get excited about every day.
No software is useful unless it fixes a specific bottleneck, and no consulting deck is useful without implementation.
So we find the bottleneck first, then build only what fixes it.
So we build the fix ourselves and stay until your team runs on it.
What we’re obsessed with, and what we don’t like
We’re a team of business analysts and developers. This is what drives how we work.
What we’re obsessed with
- Finding the real bottleneckWhere time and money actually leak, not where people guess they leak.
- Understanding how the work really happensEvery step, every tool and every handoff, as your team does it today.
- Systems your team actually usesA system only counts once your team runs on it every day.
What we don’t like
- Software bought before anyone looks at the workIt ends up unused, and the problem it was meant to fix is still there.
- Consulting decks that never get implementedA plan nobody builds changes nothing.
- Building for the sake of buildingFeatures nobody asked for, that don’t fix a real problem.
We sit between operations consultants and development agencies
Operations consultants tell you what to change, then leave you with a pitch deck. Development agencies build what you ask for, even when it doesn’t fix the real problem. You’re left to join the two.
Mihkel Sinikas founded Verticulate in 2023 to sit in the middle. We solve real business problems, instead of just building stuff or just making pitch decks.
We find the bottlenecks, build the system that fixes them and stay until your team runs on it.
