Every enterprise is about to decide who owns its intelligence. Most will decide by accident.

Altir exists for the ones that decide on purpose. We are an AI software foundry — working forward-deployed with enterprise teams from the first blueprint to systems running in production, and everything we build transfers.

The people

Entrepreneurs, engineers and designers — builders and system thinkers who have shipped at scale from iconic technology companies, across consumer and enterprise alike.

We keep teams small and senior, and put them alongside your people rather than in front of them. There is no leverage pyramid underneath, and no bench an engagement has to be stretched to keep busy. The best people should be working on the hardest problems — we build the company so they can.

The founders

Eric Gilmore
Co-founder

Author of The Sovereign Enterprise — A Blueprint for the Cognitive Revolution. Founded his first technology company at eighteen, joined Microsoft in 2003 on the executive staff reporting to Steve Ballmer, and founded Turvo in 2014.

Seth Marlatt
Co-founder

Host of The Periodic Table. Led global growth at Turvo and analytics and research at Quotient. Founded CadenceQuest and joined Accenture through its acquisition, where he ran the North America customer analytics practice.

Sai Nagboth
Co-founder

Founder and CTO of Turvo, where he architected the first multi-tenant collaborative logistics platform. Earlier, the Retailer IQ platform at Coupons.com, enterprise architecture at Accenture, and seven years at AT&T.

All three built Turvo together — a logistics network whose hardest problem was keeping meaning consistent across companies that agreed on nothing else. That turned out to be an ontology problem, years before anyone called it AI. Altir is the same problem, at the scale of the whole enterprise.

We hire builders

Senior engineers, designers and entrepreneurs who want the hardest problems and small teams — no layers between you and the work, no bench between projects. If the systems on this site are the kind you want to build, we should talk.

Decide it on purpose.

A platform default. A procurement call nobody framed as architectural. A pilot that quietly becomes permanent. That is how the question usually gets settled — and those are the hardest decisions to unwind. Make yours while it is still yours to make.
