About

We're a federal IT contractor that approaches our work differently - anchored by a startup culture and a human-centered mindset. Our team puts federal government clients at the center of everything we design, develop, and deliver. We created our Design Intelligence® framework to solve the classic dilemma between quality and speed by integrating technical expertise, customer experience focus, and Agile delivery methods. Whether we're working on Salesforce implementations, software engineering, cloud migration, AI, or cybersecurity, our goal remains the same: deliver high-quality user-centered solutions faster for maximum mission impact.

What really sets us apart is our culture - we call it #punklife. It represents our progressive, employee-driven approach with core values focused on putting people at the core, thriving in discomfort, setting the pace, and empowering our community. We're proud to be an employee-owned company that challenges conventional thinking while building practical, scalable solutions for our clients. Our team combines deep technical expertise with genuine care for the people who use the systems we build.

Groupthink

Groupthink transforms how teams capture and leverage meeting intelligence through advanced AI agents that automatically join meetings to transcribe conversations, generate summaries, and track action items. The platform builds relationship intelligence that compounds over time, creating a comprehensive view of all interactions across Zoom, Teams, Meet, and other platforms. Unlike traditional meeting tools that rely on a single bot, Groupthink deploys multiple specialized AI agents working in parallel to capture different aspects of conversations, providing pre-meeting dossiers with full conversation history, real-time transcription with speaker detection, and automatic follow-up tracking so nothing falls through the cracks. The company addresses a critical problem facing remote teams: wasted time in unproductive meetings without clear outcomes or accountability. By turning the calendar into a relationship intelligence platform, Groupthink helps professionals show up prepared, maintain context across hundreds of conversations, and ensure commitments actually get followed up on. The solution offers both private desktop recording for sensitive client conversations and shared bot recording for team collaboration, giving users complete flexibility in how they capture meetings. Groupthink is an early-stage startup with pricing at $15/month after a 30-day free trial, positioning itself as a more affordable alternative to competitors while offering superior AI capabilities.
