Rebuilding how a growth equity firm finds companies
Their analysts could only evaluate as many companies as they had hours. We became their engineering team and rebuilt how they find companies around Claude, with a model trained on their own analyst decisions doing the first pass.

What we build
AI integrations and data pipelines
We take AI features from prototype to production, along with the data pipelines they depend on. When the feature needs a home, we build the web app around it.
An engineering partner that acts like an owner
Honest about scope
We’ll flag the features that won’t earn their keep and suggest the cheaper path when it’s the right one, even when that means billing less. You make the call.
Led by an operator
Our founder, Kevin Thompson, is a serial entrepreneur. He co-founded Adaptive Management and grew its engineering team from a single engineer to a multi-team department, through its acquisition by Knoema in 2020. We build like it’s our product, because we’ve built our own.
A culture we build ourselves
We don’t hire from résumés. We grow our own engineers through Avanzatech, our paid training program, so most of our team worked on real projects with us for months before we hired them. They learn how we work before they ever work for you.
“The team you’ll want to work with again.”
It was an absolute pleasure getting the chance to work with Kevin and his whole MachEight team – they are extremely professional, and put out amazing work. I have nothing but the most positive things to say about Kevin and his team.
