We work with data-intensive businesses and private equity sponsors to build AI systems that create measurable economic value.
Standard Basis is an AI and data engineering firm for businesses that work with high volumes of data. We identify high-leverage AI opportunities across products, workflows, and data infrastructure, then build systems that expand product capabilities and improve operational leverage.
We build AI features into user-facing products. We help you understand where AI can provide the next growth opportunity for your products, then build it out with you. We’ve built features like AI search engines, self-serve analytics portals, AI shopping assistants, customer support agents, and more.
We build AI workflows for document processing, analytics, customer service, field service operations, sales operations, and other high-volume business processes. We build AI workflows that increase operating leverage, freeing up employees to spend time on higher-value tasks.
We help sponsors assess AI opportunity, technical risk, data readiness, and product defensibility during diligence. For existing portfolio companies, we assess the workflows, data assets, and systems to identify the most practical AI opportunities.
We work with private equity sponsors and middle-market businesses with meaningfully large data estates. This includes businesses and PE sponsors in the following domains:
Engagements are led by senior AI engineers with experience building AI systems at enterprise scale. We bring expertise spanning data architecture, workflow automation, AI evaluations, frontend design, and product strategy.
Most AI problems begin as data problems. We focus on building out clean, composable data assets that can be reused in future products and workflows. We set up companies to independently build on top of our systems down the road.
We build production-scale systems, not demos. Our approach is to prove out measurable value quickly, then scale systems as business need grows. If we don’t think we can show value quickly, we won’t take on the project'.
Standard Basis is an applied AI and data firm led by former Snowflake AI product leadership. We deep experience building and scaling AI systems used by thousands of enterprises. Our prior work includes product development in search, unstructured data processing, AI analytics, document processing, and workflow automation.
We prefer to write code over memos. We dive deep into existing systems and processes and build automations that make a difference in day-to-day operations. We work with a network of senior AI and data specialists to bring the right inputs to each engagement.
