DHD AI Consulting

AI Operators Who've Built & Scaled

We're not theorists. We're practitioners who've lived the startup journey and understand AI deeply.

Our Story

In 2023, we watched dozens of brilliant AI startups fail—not because their technology was bad, but because they couldn't navigate the gap between AI potential and business reality.

Technical founders overpromised to investors and underdelivered to customers. Non-technical founders built products nobody wanted. Smart teams burned millions on the wrong priorities.

We founded DHD AI Consulting to be the partner we wished we'd had: Startup Native, Technically Deep, and Fundraising Savvy.
