🤘 What We Do
PLAN
What You Get: Board‑ready AI roadmap & ROI model
Why It Matters: Align execs; secure funding
BUILD
What You Get: Production‑ready MVP in less than 90 days
Why It Matters: Working software beats pilot purgatory
OWN
What You Get: Training, boot‑camps, governance
Why It Matters: Your team scales the win
🤘 Proof, Not Promises.
Insurance:
We built a real‑time underwriting AI that drove +20 % revenue lift.
Enterprise:
Designed, built, and deployed an enterprise wide workforce platform that delivered 30% productivity uplift for thousands of employees.
Healthcare:
Led their C‑suite 2030 AI roadmap that was adopted at the board level.
🤘 Why leaders pick Blank Metal instead of big consulting:
Lean, senior teams (<5 % overhead). Your budget builds instead just burning.
Outcomes, not hour factories. We measure success in ROI, not utilization.
AI-native from day one. Everything (workflows, processes, internal software/tools, incentives, etc) is built for velocity and iteration.
Partners by design. Deep expertise and partnerships in the best models, APIs, and ecosystems.
Ship in weeks, not quarters. Time‑boxed MVPs land with KPIs wired in day one.
🚀 Blank Metal is fueled by a $3M seed round from Rally Ventures, Traction Capital, and Pure Play Partners.
🤘 For 15 years our core crew has shipped market‑defining digital and AI products (from napkin sketch to exit) and now helps enterprises turn AI ideas into production software quickly, safely, and at a fraction of big‑consulting overhead.
🤘 Life at Blank Metal
Small, autonomous squads vs. sprawling org charts.
We hire builders who want to move fast, obsess over craft, and change what’s possible for our clients (and their own careers).
AI powered, impact‑obsessed.
**Let’s build something that actually ships.**
