Manifesto
We started Neon & Slate in 2022 out of one conviction: the gap between AI’s promise and its execution in real organizations was not closing — it was widening. The companies that form the backbone of the real economy were being sold strategy by people who had never shipped a model to production. That gap has a cost. We close it.
14 years in ML/AI. One conviction:
AI is rewriting how buyers choose.
AI is reshaping how industries operate.
Most are not ready.
We close that gap. Since 2022.
30 forward-deployed engineers — UC Berkeley, MIT, Centrale, Polytechnique. Building AI in production before boards knew what to budget for. One focus: AI that works in production, at measurable ROI.
Our Story & Founding Belief
Long before AI became a boardroom priority, we were already working on how it would reshape companies. Neon & Slate was created to help organizations translate that shift into real operations, real systems, and measurable results.
