AI Consulting

AI Consulting for Startups

Most startups know they should be using AI. Few know exactly where to start, what to build first, or whether to build vs. buy. SaTekk's AI consulting for startups cuts through the noise: we audit your business, identify the 2–3 highest-ROI opportunities, recommend specific solutions with realistic cost and timeline estimates, and give you a roadmap you can actually execute — whether or not you engage us to build it.

Frequently asked questions

What does an AI consulting engagement look like?+
We start with a structured discovery session (2–3 hours) where we interview key stakeholders and map your processes. We then do independent analysis and deliver a written report with findings, recommendations, and a prioritized roadmap — typically within 1–2 weeks. Optional follow-on sessions for Q&A and refinement.
How do you help startups that don't have a lot of data yet?+
Many of the most impactful AI use cases don't require proprietary training data — they use powerful foundation models (GPT-4o, Claude) with careful prompting and RAG over your existing documents. We identify use cases that work with the data you have today and build a data flywheel strategy to unlock more advanced AI as you grow.
Do you help with AI strategy for fundraising?+
Yes. We help founders articulate a credible AI strategy for seed and Series A decks — what you're building, why it's defensible, and how AI is embedded in your core product. We also help technical founders communicate their AI approach clearly to non-technical investors.
How much does AI consulting cost?+
A focused AI readiness audit and roadmap starts at $2,500. A full consulting engagement with architecture design and implementation guidance is $5,000–$10,000. Many clients then engage us to build the highest-priority items from the roadmap. We offer discounted rates for pre-seed and seed-stage startups — ask on your free call.
