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: Support + Ops Automation with Governed AI Features

Project context

ClientB2B SaaS • $118.6M ARR • 1,940 customers • multi-tenant data + support tooling sprawl
Starting pointInconsistent product analytics, noisy support queues, slow incident triage, manual billing ops, rising cloud spend.
GoalCentralize data, automate support/ops workflows, and ship governed AI features while maintaining SOC 2-grade controls.

Constraints we designed for

  • SOC 2 posture and customer audits; least-privilege and audit trails.
  • Multi-tenant risk: no regressions; guardrails required.
  • FinOps mandate: measurable cloud spend improvements.
  • High shipping cadence; CI/CD required.

What we shipped (6-week pilot → 4.9-month rollout)

Product + GTM lakehouse

  • Tracking standardization
  • Reliable funnels + cohorts
  • Health scoring base

Support + ops automation

  • Ticket routing + summarization
  • Incident triage assistant
  • Billing anomaly workflows

Governance + reliability

  • Prompt/model logging + monitoring
  • RBAC + audit trails
  • Cost controls + observability

ROI snapshot (measured impact + financial model)

Financial Line ItemValue
Tiger team cost (pilot + rollout)$694,480
Annualized run-rate savings$1,987,620
Annualized run-rate revenue lift$1,156,340
12-month net benefit$2,449,480
Payback period10.9 weeks
12-month ROI352.7%

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.
