How we work


We work with clients on a cash or equity basis. Once we have agreed a scope of work and got an insight into your business, we are happy to propose flexible arrangements that suit both parties.

For larger, established companies this usually means an hourly or fixed rate. For smaller, start-up companies we are willing to take an appropriate equity position (subject to the usual due diligence). We are also open to hybrid arrangements of both cash and equity.

Our ultimate goal is to deliver real business improvements with machine learning that will enable our clients to grow their revenues, reputations, and shareholder value.
