The Problem

Mid-market professional services are failing to find ROI from AI.

Startups are developing their AI-native alternatives.


Mid-market companies lack experienced AI leadership. Their CTOs use existing engineers and service providers to implement AI pilots that fail to drive ROI and fall short of the transformation the CEO is mandating. When they look to hire, they quickly learn their networks are absent of senior AI talent. Without a clear path forward, existing staff are rushed into AI leadership roles based on demos and forecasts that impress the non-technical CEO, but only perpetuate the problem.

PE-Backed Companies are the Highest Pain Segment

Private equity firms need an AI transformation partner who understands the mid-market technology stack, leads change management, and delivers consistent ROI.

The Solution

Rosenblatt leads AI transformation for PE-backed, mid-market, professional services.


Our team combines AI solution leaders recruited from PwC and Deloitte with leaders from past AI startups.

We don't sell strategy decks or tokens. We ship AI systems that compound EBITDA margins quarter over quarter.

The Ask

Raising $750K on a SAFE at a $10M cap.


Use of funds: fully fund the PE GTM Lead through productivity ramp, with margin for a course-correct if the first hire misses. Excess pads our bench and runway for extended sales cycles.

Bootstrapped to date — no silver spoons, no prior dilution, 100% founder owned. This raise sizes risk so a wrong first hire isn't existential.
