1) Who we are

Founder-engineers, not consultants. Our team built Five9 (public SaaS) and DoctorBase (scaled to ~9M U.S. users pre-acquisition). We run delivery like operators: clear scope, tight feedback loops, production-grade quality, and measurable outcomes.

2) Why we're different

Live pair-programming is mandatory. Every engineer is screened in real-time on applied problem-solving and code quality. It's expensive and time-consuming — which is exactly why most vendors don't do it.

3) How we work

University-anchored talent funnels. We partner with administrators and professors in Brazil, Poland, Ukraine, and Colombia to recruit top CS and applied-math talent (including PhD candidates), then train them on production AI/data and enterprise modernization patterns.

“I'm continually impressed by the quality of talent and people at JetBridge. If you're looking for international engineering talent, I can't think of a better partner.”

4) Social proof

Teams we've built have delivered systems across Fortune 500 ecosystems (e.g., LabCorp) and tier-1 VC-backed startups (including a16z portfolios).

What you buy

  • A small, senior team that plugs into your existing stack.
  • Production increments every 1-2 weeks (no “big reveal” delivery).
  • Security-by-design: audit trails, access control, and runbooks.
  • Clean handoff: documentation, dashboards, and ownership transfer.

Engagement model

Start with a defined 6–10 week pilot (fixed scope, clear metrics). If it works, scale to a phased rollout. If it doesn't, stop—without carrying a permanent cost structure.

Next steps

Free 45-minute consult with an AI architect: proposed architecture + pilot scope + staffing plan + budget range.

Note: projected ROI depends on data quality, integration access, adoption, and vendor constraints. We validate assumptions in discovery and lock the pilot scorecard before build.

Case Study: RCM Automation + Prior Auth Acceleration

Project context

ClientMulti-site outpatient network • 38 clinics • ~1.06M annual encounters • mixed EHR + billing stack
Starting pointDenials/appeals churn, document-heavy prior auth, fragmented clinical + claims data, limited analytics, strict PHI controls.
GoalReduce denials + rework while automating intake/prior-auth workflows and enabling governed analytics without replacing the EHR.

Constraints we designed for

  • HIPAA/PHI: least-privilege, audit logs, secure handling of prompts/outputs.
  • EHR/clearinghouse API throttles; limited change windows.
  • Small internal team; delivery must reduce—not increase—operational burden.
  • Unstructured documents and inconsistent code mappings across sites.

What we shipped (8-week pilot → 5.5-month rollout)

Clinical and RCM lakehouse

  • Incremental ingestion + code normalization
  • Encounter stitching + denials analytics
  • Prioritized work queues

Prior-auth automation

  • Doc classification + field extraction
  • Reviewer-ready summaries + checklists
  • Closed-loop status tracking + notifications

Security + governance

  • PHI controls + audit trails
  • Monitoring + QA gates
  • Runbooks + ownership transfer

ROI snapshot (measured impact + financial model)

Financial Line ItemValue
Tiger team cost (pilot + rollout)$824,600
Annualized run-rate savings$2,931,480
Annualized run-rate revenue lift$1,184,260
12-month net benefit$3,291,140
Payback period14.7 weeks
12-month ROI399.2%

Method: hard-dollar savings are anchored to labor minutes, throughput, leakage capture, and vendor spend. Revenue lift reflects conversion, cycle time, and retention improvements attributable to the shipped workflows.

Appendix A:

Hiring just one fullstack engineer (senior) requires over 500 candidates sourced, 100 initial interviews, and 14 two hour technical live pair programming to have one candidate pass our test.
Nobody else in our industry does this rigor.
