A private consulting house, not an agency.

Founded in 2024 to do one thing: build custom AI systems for growth-stage businesses, under a written house standard, four commissions at a time.

I · The House

ColabContent is a private consulting house, not an agency. Founded in Boston in 2024 by Brandon Rodriguez, after a decade of watching growth-stage operators buy AI tools that did not solve their actual problems. The thesis is durable: a $30M law firm, a $50M custom-metals shop, and a 75-partner CPA practice all share the same problem. They are past the point where off-the-shelf tools fit, and below the point where AmLaw 100 innovation teams or Big 4 partners will take their money. The middle gap is where ColabContent builds.

We take four commissions a quarter. No more. Every engagement is led personally by Brandon. There are no account managers, no tiered service plans, and no upsells. When you sign, you get the founder who did the diagnosis.

What we believe.

Most AI work shipped today is theater. It renames a problem with a chatbot and calls the job done. We think that's a waste of capital and, worse, a waste of the actual opportunity. A real AI system changes how a business runs. It returns hours, recovers revenue, and compounds for years. That requires real engineering, real taste, and real familiarity with your operation. It cannot be productized.

We don't do retainers dressed up as subscriptions. We don't sell seat-based software. We scope a problem, we solve it, we ship it, and we hand it off. If we're doing our job, you need less of us over time, not more.

Who we work with.

Growth-stage businesses, roughly $8M to $50M in revenue, owner-operated or closely-held. The pattern we see is the same across industries: the owner has reached the ceiling of what a team of humans can do manually, and the next hire isn't the answer. We're usually the last resort before they take on the wrong kind of outside capital.

II · Principles

A private standard.

Seven rules we don't break

Every engagement is run under the same seven principles, written down, shared with clients on day one, and used to resolve any disagreement about scope.

01Ownership, not rental.You keep everything we build. Code, prompts, models, datasets, transferred to you at handoff. No lock-in. No proprietary runtime you rent from us.PrincipleHouse standard
02Prototype before payment.You see a working version of the system on your data before you are asked to pay. If it doesn't hold up under your actual workflow, we haven't earned the engagement.PrincipleHouse standard
03A hard limit of four.We take four commissions a quarter. No exceptions. When seats are gone, we quote a waitlist honestly.PrincipleHouse standard
04Principals only.No account managers. No junior staff running your build. The people who diagnosed it are the people who ship it.PrincipleHouse standard
05Your stack, not ours.We build on whatever you already operate on. We don't sell a platform and call it progress.PrincipleHouse standard
06One bill, no meter.Fixed-fee commissions. No hourly billing. No scope-creep invoices. If we mis-scoped, that's our problem, not yours.PrincipleHouse standard
07Stewarded, not abandoned.After handoff, we stay on optional quarterly retainer, small, transparent, and dropable with 30 days' notice. No one is locked into us.PrincipleHouse standard
III · The Principal

One founder on the build.

A single-principal house

Brandon runs every engagement personally from diagnosis through handoff. The four-commissions-per-quarter cap exists because of this constraint, not in spite of it.

Principal & Founder

Brandon Rodriguez

Brandon founded ColabContent in 2024 after a decade building AI and operations systems for service businesses. He runs every engagement personally: writes the diagnosis memo, sets the build scope, ships the working prototype on the client's real data within 7 to 10 days, and signs the guarantee document himself.

No account managers. No junior staff on builds. If you book the 45-minute diagnosis, you talk to Brandon. If you sign a commission, Brandon writes the code.

He keeps the practice deliberately small. Four commissions per quarter is a hard cap. Every prospect past that number is quoted a waitlist honestly, not slotted into a junior team to be managed by someone else.
