About NextGenStudio
An AI consulting and product studio built by builders, for builders.
Two builders who got tired of AI theater
We've spent our careers building AI and data products at companies like Stripe, Walmart, and Fortune 500 enterprises. We've seen what works—and what doesn't.
What doesn't work: consulting firms that deliver strategy decks and disappear. AI vendors that demo well but can't handle production traffic. Agencies that staff projects with junior developers and hope for the best.
What works: small teams of experienced builders who own the problem end-to-end. People who've shipped before and know what production actually looks like.
That's NextGenStudio. Two founders, 30 years of experience, and a simple promise: we build AI products that work.

Our Principles
What we believe and how we work
Build to Ship
We deliver production systems, not impressive demos. If it can't handle real traffic and real users, it's not done.
Founder-led
One of us is hands-on in every engagement. You're not paying for our brand and getting someone else's work.
Full Ownership
You own the code, the IP, the infrastructure. No lock-in, no hostage situations. We want you to stay because we're good, not because you're stuck.
Outcomes over Outputs
We don't measure success by features shipped or hours logged. We measure it by whether your business is better off.
