Fractional AI Leadership That Ships.
ArrowheadBTC embeds with your team part-time to find real problems, simplify before automating, and ship AI solutions that drive measurable results. For product teams building software and business teams running operations, without the cost of a full-time hire.
The Problem
Every AI consultant wants to sell you a transformation. More tools, more frameworks, more complexity layered on top of what's already not working. Meanwhile your team bought Copilot licenses nobody uses, someone tried ChatGPT for a week, and your competitors are shipping faster than you.
The problem isn't that you lack AI tools. It's that nobody has taken the time to understand your actual problems, strip away the complexity, and build simple solutions that work. That's what we do. Whether you're building a software product or running a business, we find the real leverage points and ship solutions, not slide decks.
Most AI consultants add complexity. We remove it first.
Who This Is For
Our clients aren't Fortune 500 companies with unlimited budgets. They're lean teams who need to move fast and compete smart.
You're building software and know AI should be part of your product or your process, but you don't have a dedicated AI leader to own strategy and execution.
Your business runs on a stack of SaaS applications and manual processes. You know AI could help but don't know where to start or who to trust.
You're positioning your business for acquisition. AI-driven improvements to sales, costs, cash flow, and EBITDA directly increase your valuation and attract better buyers.
You're a 10-250 person company going up against organizations with 10x your headcount. AI is how you close that gap, if someone shows you how.
How We Work
We don't follow a rigid consulting framework. We follow common sense: find the real problem, make it simpler, build something that works, and prove it. Four steps, no buzzwords.
Not the symptom. Not the assumed problem. We dig in to understand what's actually slowing you down, costing you money, or blocking growth, whether that's in your product development process or your business operations.
What You Get
Most teams try to automate broken processes. That just creates faster chaos. We strip complexity first: simplify workflows, eliminate unnecessary steps, and clean up handoffs. Then we apply technology to what's left.
What You Get
Working solutions, not presentations. We build AI integrations, automations, and tools directly into your existing workflows and stack. Tested, deployed, and usable by your team. Not a prototype that sits in a repo.
What You Get
We define success upfront and track it. Velocity improvements, cost reduction, revenue impact, time saved. Concrete numbers that prove the work is paying off and inform what to do next.
What You Get
Whether you're building a product or running a business, we bring AI leadership your team can actually use.
Build: For Product Teams
You're building software and need someone who's actually shipped AI-native products, not someone who read about it. We embed with your product and engineering teams to set AI strategy, accelerate development, and ship features that would otherwise take twice as long.
From zero-to-one or feature expansion
Discovery, competitive analysis, MVP definition, and roadmap through launch for AI-powered product capabilities. We've taken AI-native products from concept to Fortune 500 contracts, and we bring that experience to your team.
Outcomes
Faster discovery, design, dev, and delivery
Embed AI into every phase of how your team builds software, from product discovery and design handoffs to code reviews and deployment. Not tool training. Actual workflow integration that compounds over time.
Outcomes
Developer experience and integration design
Design developer experiences, select integration partners, and build API strategies that accelerate partner onboarding and unlock new revenue. Built from experience designing platforms across fintech and SaaS.
Outcomes
Hands-on implementation · Project-based
Need a specific AI capability built? We turn your use cases into working solutions: agentic pipelines, custom automations, workflow integrations. From spec to deploy, tested in your stack.

Run: For Business Teams
You don't need to be a tech company to benefit from AI. If your team spends hours on manual processes, struggles with data spread across a dozen SaaS tools, or knows there's a better way to operate, we'll find it, simplify it, and automate it.
Find and fix your biggest inefficiencies
We audit how your business actually runs, not how the org chart says it should. Then we identify where AI and automation can eliminate manual work, reduce errors, and free your team to focus on higher-value activities.
Outcomes
Stop doing manually what AI can handle
We build automations that connect your existing tools and eliminate repetitive work: lead routing, document processing, reporting, data entry, customer follow-ups. Practical solutions using your current stack, not a rip-and-replace.
Outcomes
Get your whole team productive with AI
Role-specific, hands-on sessions that get everyone (not just engineers) using AI effectively in their daily work. Sales, ops, finance, customer success. Practical skills, not theory.
Outcomes
AI-driven efficiency that increases your number
Preparing to sell your business? We identify and implement AI-powered improvements to sales, costs, cash flow, and EBITDA, creating demonstrable operational efficiency that directly increases your valuation for buyers.

Getting Started
Every engagement starts with a conversation. Here's how most clients get started.
Best way to start
10 hours over 30 days (use or lose)
A focused engagement to assess your situation, identify quick wins, and deliver a clear plan. Most clients use this to validate the fit before committing to ongoing work.
What's Included
Month-to-month
8 hours per month · No commitment
Ongoing AI leadership embedded with your team. Strategy, building, training, and execution, available when you need it without a long-term lock-in.
What's Included
Best value
8 hours per month · 3-month commitment
The same embedded AI leadership at a lower rate for teams ready to commit. Three months gives us enough runway to find real problems, ship real solutions, and measure real results.
What's Included
Need a specific project scoped? We also take on project-based engagements: AI solution builds, platform strategy, automation implementations. Every project is different, so pricing is custom.
FAQ
It means part-time, embedded AI leadership. Instead of hiring a full-time AI strategist or head of AI (which most small teams can't afford or don't need), you get dedicated hours each month from someone who sets strategy, builds solutions, and trains your team.
Consultants deliver reports and leave. We embed with your team, build alongside you, and own outcomes. You get working solutions in your stack, not a PDF of recommendations for your engineers to figure out.
Absolutely. Our Run lane is specifically designed for businesses that aren't software companies. If you use SaaS tools, have manual processes, or want to operate more efficiently, AI can help and you don't need a technical background to benefit.
Small and mid-size, typically 10-250 people. Tight budgets, lean teams, high ambition. Fintech startups, professional services firms, business owners preparing for a sale. If you're enterprise-scale with an in-house AI team, this probably isn't the right fit.
The 10-hour Kickstart is designed to deliver value within 30 days, including quick wins you can measure. For ongoing engagements, most clients see meaningful improvements within the first 60-90 days.
Both, and we prioritize building. Strategy comes first so we solve the right problem, then we build and ship working solutions. You get functional AI tools and automations, not just a roadmap.
Start with the free strategy call. Many clients need elements of both, and that's fine. We'll figure out where the highest leverage is and start there.
About
I'm Kevin, a product leader with 17+ years building and shipping enterprise software in banking, fintech, telecom, SaaS, and CRM. I've taken AI-native products from zero to Fortune 500 contracts, designed API platforms that accelerated time-to-market across major fintech programs, and built internal systems that drove measurable revenue and efficiency gains.
Today I work as a fractional AI leader and project partner for small and mid-size teams. I help product organizations and business operators figure out where AI can genuinely move the needle — whether that's elevating the product experience, streamlining operations, or opening up advantages your competitors haven't found yet. I bring hands-on experience shipping real AI-powered products, not just a point of view on where things are headed.
My approach is simple: find the real problem, strip away complexity, build something that works, and prove it. No frameworks for the sake of frameworks. No buzzwords to justify a retainer. Just clear thinking and working solutions.
Track Record
My clients aren't Fortune 500 companies with unlimited budgets. They're small and mid-size teams who need to move fast, compete smart, and get real results from AI, not another slide deck. If that's you, let's talk.
Start with a free 30-minute strategy call. We'll figure out where you stand, what's worth tackling first, and whether we're a good fit. No commitment, no pitch.
Contact
Every engagement starts with a conversation. No pitch, no pressure. Just honest talk about where AI can make a real difference for your team or your business.
