Fractional AI Leadership

Your fractional AI officer.

Senior AI leadership and a team to build it, without the six-figure hire. We set the strategy, build the systems, and run them for you, as a service.

Run by operators who have built and sold a company, not just shipped code.

The gap

Too small for a Chief AI Officer. Too busy to wing it.

A full-time AI executive is a six-figure hire most small companies cannot justify, and a general chatbot subscription is not a strategy. A fractional AI officer is the in-between: senior direction on where AI pays off, a team that actually builds it, and someone on the hook to keep it running, for a fraction of the cost of a hire.

We have built this before. At Syncromatics, our last company, we turned live data from thousands of transit vehicles into one system agencies could ask and act on in real time. It is now GMV's flagship product, SYNC. Nocula is that same brain, built for your business.

What you get

Strategy, build, and run, from one team.

Strategy

Where AI pays off

We find the one or two places AI moves the needle for your business, and say no to the rest.

Build

Systems, not slideware

We build the company brain and the automations on top of it, wired into the tools you already use.

Run

On the hook

We operate, secure, and keep improving it, and report against the outcomes we agreed on.

Why us

Operators, not just engineers.

We grew Syncromatics from a dorm room to $25M in sales and sold it to GMV in 2018, and still operate it today. We have carried a P&L and met payroll, so we build AI that respects how a business really works, and we measure success in your results.

Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

What is a fractional AI officer?

Senior AI leadership without a full-time hire. We do what a Chief AI Officer would do, set the strategy, build the systems, and run them, but as a service, shared across a few founding clients, for a fraction of the cost.

How is this different from just hiring someone?

A full-time AI exec is a six-figure salary plus the tooling and team to execute. With us you get the direction and the delivery together, on the hook for outcomes, and you can scale spend only once something is proven.

Who is this for?

Owner-led small companies, roughly 5 to 30 people and $1M to $15M in revenue, with years of knowledge trapped in inboxes, spreadsheets, and people's heads. If you are not big enough for an internal AI team but want the upside anyway, that is exactly who we built this for.

Which AI models do you use?

We are model-agnostic. We pick the best model for each job (Claude, GPT, or open-source) and we are free to switch as the technology improves, so you are never locked in.

Is our company data safe, and do we own it?

Yes. It lives in your own private instance (cloud or on-prem, never a shared pool) and it is never used to train shared models. Access is controlled by role, every action is logged, and you can export everything and delete our copy at any time. No lock-in.

AI leadership, on tap.
