We’ve Been Helping Businesses Find Profit with AI Since Before It Was Cool
While everyone else just discovered AI in 2022, we were already knee-deep in building smart, scalable, automation-powered systems. Today, we’re helping companies uncover hidden profit daily — streamlining workflows, reducing overhead, and turning “What if?” into “Look what we did.” And the best part? We’re just getting started.
OUr Story
Every company has a story. Ours just happens to include late-night whiteboard sessions, a healthy amount of caffeine, and a shared frustration with inefficiency that finally boiled over into action. So we built ProfitFinders to help teams stop wasting hours on tasks a well-trained algorithm could do in its sleep.

AI Isn’t New to Us
AI is changing fast — like “blink and it’s outdated” fast. Staying ahead isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s the job. Lucky for you, it’s our job. We’ve been working with AI long before the hype, and we spend every day tracking what’s new, what’s noise, and what’s actually useful. You don’t have to be the expert — that’s what we’re here for. All you have to do is bring the business problem. We’ll find the profit.

Yes, We Give a Damn: Our Core Values
Some companies hang their values in the breakroom and forget them. We tattoo ours on the culture. "I CARE" isn’t just a cute acronym — it’s how we operate, how we hire, how we show up for each other, and how we deliver the kind of tech that makes people say, “Whoa, that’s slick.”
From telling the truth even when it’s awkward (hi, candor 👋) to showing up with energy and treating people like actual humans, our values are the difference between “just get it done” and Gets Shit Done, brilliantly.
Integrity
Doing the right thing, even when no one is looking.
Candor
Tell them everything! Address the elephant in the room immediately.
Autonomy
Respect and freedom to do the right thing. Trust, but verify.
Relationships
Build trust, with everyone working in harmony.
Enthusiasm
No matter what you want to do with your life, do it with enthusiasm.
IÂ CARE
We are always on the look out for "IÂ CARE"Â winners. These are team members that continuously exhibit all of our core values.
