The Problem

Professional services aren't seeing ROI from AI.

Startups are developing AI-native alternatives.


Why The Transformation Hasn't Happened

Professional services 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, 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, Mid-Markets Experience the Most Pain

Our ICP is tech-enabled, white glove service providers. They are laggards on software and AI has exacerbated the gap. PE firms have experienced years of surpressed exits, stuck with over 10k portcos held over 5 years. AI maturity is becomming a multiple differentiator and exit vehicle. PEs need an AI transformation partner who understands their portco's technology stack, leads AI engineering, governance, and change management that 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.

Why Now

As of May 2026, AI labs are targeting our ICP.
The category is real. The window is now.


Anthropic

OpenAI

Announced a $10B mid-market consulting joint venture with TPG, Bain, Advent, and Brookfield, then recruited a $335K "Private Equity GTM Lead".


Labs sell tokens and vendor lock-in.

Rosenblatt sells outcomes.
