FOR DEV CONSULTANCIES

Add AI Capability to Your Firm. Keep Most of the Profit.

Co-deliver your first 3 projects with FractalShift engineers embedded. Your team delivers independently after the program.

The Problem Every Dev Shop Faces

Your clients are asking for AI. Competitors are winning deals you used to close. You know you need to add AI delivery capability — but the path isn't clear.

Hiring AI talent? The market is brutal. Senior AI engineers cost $300K+ and every enterprise is competing for them.

Training your existing team? Generic AI training doesn't translate to production delivery. Your team needs to learn by shipping, not by watching.

Partnering with an AI firm? Most AI firms see you as a competitor, not a partner. They want your clients, not your success.

Spark is different. We're a partner, not a competitor. We make your team more capable — then we step back.

HOW IT WORKS

Four Steps to AI Capability

01

Apply

We vet for fit — firm size, team capability, commitment level. Not every firm qualifies, and that's by design.

02

Co-Deliver 3 Projects

FractalShift engineers embed alongside your team. Your people build real AI fluency through hands-on delivery — not training.

03

Build Independence

After 3 projects, your team can deliver AI-native work independently. 2–3× productivity improvement is the target.

04

Scale

Win bigger deals. Deliver AI-powered solutions. Grow your firm's revenue and capability permanently.

FINANCIAL MODEL

We Invest in Your Growth. You Keep the Upside.

FIRST 3 PROJECTS
50/50

Profit share

FractalShift engineers work embedded alongside your team. We split the project profit while your team builds real AI capability through hands-on delivery.

ONGOING
15%

Incremental profit share

After 3 projects, your team delivers independently. We take 15% of the incremental profit on AI-enhanced engagements. You keep 85% of the new revenue you couldn't win before.

"Build independence, not dependency." — We design ourselves out. The goal is your team delivering AI work on their own.

Common Questions

We work with boutique development consultancies in the $5–50M revenue range with established delivery teams. You need a minimum team size, an existing client base, and a willingness to commit to co-delivering 3 projects. We're looking for firms that want to build real AI capability — not just white-label our work. We vet for cultural fit and technical foundation during the application process.

For the first 3 co-delivered projects, the profit share is 50/50 — FractalShift engineers work embedded alongside your team, and we split the project profit. After those 3 projects, when your team is delivering AI-native work independently, we take a 15% incremental profit share on AI-enhanced engagements. We invest in your growth. You keep the majority of the upside.

No. That's the entire point. Spark is designed for firms that have strong engineering and delivery fundamentals but lack AI-specific capability. Our engineers embed with your team during co-delivery — your people learn by doing, not by sitting through training sessions. After 3 projects, they're AI-fluent through hands-on production experience.

Our frameworks — BI2AI, PDLC2AI, and others — are proprietary tools built by our engineering team from production experience. They're not repackaged open-source tools or theoretical methodologies. They've been battle-tested across $80B aerospace companies, global insurance enterprises, and top-5 e-commerce brands. They accelerate delivery because they encode patterns we've proven at scale. As a Spark partner, you get full access to these frameworks to use with your own clients.
