Who We Are

Friends first. Practitioners always.

Three founders who've known each other since high school. 45+ years of combined experience. Practitioners who've been part of billion dollar exits, managed the media budgets, built the systems, and fixed things when they broke.

We started Neural Partners because we believe the current technological transformation will have broad impact across many parts of society. And while most of the conversation is focused on much broader—and critically important—topics, there is a fundamental shift occurring in how we discover products, consume media and influence brand choice. Not someday. Right now.

We are remote-first and Vermont-based. Serving clients nationwide. Currently in stealth—building before broadcasting. Learn more about how we work.

How We Work

Divide and conquer.

We've known each other long enough to know who's best at what. That clarity isn't just efficient—it's how we make decisions without friction. Whether it's who leads a client call or who takes the first pass on a press release, we default to whoever's best positioned to own it.

This isn't a philosophy we invented for the website. It's how we've operated since we were teenagers figuring out who should drive. As we grow, we'll look for people who value the same thing: flexibility, ownership, and the autonomy to do their best work without being micromanaged.

Think big. Stay grounded.

Great ideas require grounding. Being bold isn't a compromise for being strategic—it's a requirement for it. We hold two timeframes in our heads at once: the 5-year vision and the 6-month roadmap. Both matter. The vision keeps us building toward something that compounds. The roadmap keeps us honest about what's actually achievable this quarter.

NFX calls it the "3-Person Unicorn Startup"—AI collapsing the team size needed to build at scale. We're not claiming unicorn status. But we are proof that a small, focused team can move at a velocity that used to require 5x the headcount.

AI as accelerant, not accessory.

The "country of geniuses in a datacenter" isn't a metaphor anymore. It's the trajectory. Our job is to keep pace—not just use these tools, but push them.

We use agentic coding to solve problems for us and our clients. We build automated workflows that let us move faster and more proactively. We treat AI advancement as something to embrace and contribute to, not hide from. This isn't about staying current. It's about staying capable of building what comes next.

Agency + Technology. Architected as one.

Most companies pick a lane: build software or run an agency. We built both—and designed them to reinforce each other. This works for three reasons:

1. The barrier is gone. AI-assisted development collapsed the cost of building custom tools. What used to require a full engineering team now requires focus and iteration.

2. Commerce now has two audiences. Humans still buy things. But AI agents are increasingly doing the research, filtering options, and making recommendations before a person ever sees a brand. You need infrastructure for both—and most businesses have neither.

3. It maps to our team. Product & Technology leads Neural Core. Clients & Service leads Neural Labs. Operations & Partnerships bridges the gap. We each know our role because it aligns with what we're actually good at.

Why This Matters Now

The way people find and buy things is shifting. Not gradually—structurally. AI agents are doing the research, filtering the options, and making recommendations before a human ever sees a brand. Half of all consumers already use AI when searching the internet. That number is climbing fast.

This creates two audiences with completely different requirements. Humans need creativity, empathy, narrative—what agencies have always done well. AI agents need structured data, clean infrastructure, machine-readable catalogs—what most businesses haven't built at all.

Serving both isn't optional anymore. It's the baseline for staying visible. Most mid-market businesses aren't ready for this. They're optimized for an economy built on capturing human attention—not fulfilling human intention through AI intermediaries.

That's the gap we're filling. Not because it's interesting (though it is)—because it's what the next decade of commerce actually requires. Explore our services to see how we're approaching this.

Common Questions

Who founded Neural Partners?

Three practitioners who've known each other since high school, worked together after college, then spent 15+ years building domain expertise across product/technology, operations/partnerships, and client service. We're currently in stealth mode—names and faces coming Q2 2026.

What makes Neural Partners different?

We're not purely an agency, and we're not purely a technology company. We built both—designed from day one to work as one system. Our services arm generates revenue and client intelligence. Our technology platform compounds that intelligence into better infrastructure. Most companies pick a lane because building both is hard. We built both because the market actually needs both.

Why stealth mode?

We'd rather build than broadcast. The first 8-10 months validated the model—paying clients, real revenue, partnership alignment with an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner. We're coming out of stealth in Q2 2026 with something to show, not just something to say.

What is Neural Partners building toward?

Commerce is splitting into two fronts: serving humans and serving the AI agents that increasingly influence their decisions. Most businesses are set up for the old model—fighting for human attention on platforms designed for impressions. We're building infrastructure for the new model—making businesses findable and trustable by both humans and machines. Read more on our Intelligence hub.

Why Vermont?

It's home. It shapes how we work—direct communication, relationships over transactions, building things that last. We serve clients nationwide, but our roots keep us grounded. Get in touch.
