"One day, we were in a desperate crisis. When we announced the company and launched in beta with another provider, it grew very quickly. We soon realized we needed to get off of that service and find someone to build our own solution so that we could scale."
"Once we lost confidence in the provider that we were previously using, we needed to move quickly to get our own solution built,” Michael said. “The Emerge Haus team gathered proof of concepts over the weekend."
The transformation happened at startup speed with a complete rebuild in three months:
The partnership quickly evolved into a comprehensive technical leadership role. As a non-technical founder, Michael leveraged Emerge Haus’s strategic guidance alongside their development expertise. "What I really like about the Emerge Huas team is they knew that I was not a technologist," Michael explains.
The Emerge Haus team turned business and technical objectives into a cohesive plan that made the details easy for Pulpit AI to understand and approve. According to Michael, the Emerge Haus team essentially said, “Let us QB (Quarterback) this for you. Let us put the pieces together, and let us help you get it to where it needs to be.”
This collaborative approach yielded extraordinary results that solved the immediate crisis and set Pulpit AI up for future success.
"The gen AI space is the Wild West, and everyone is claiming to be able to do this or do that. But if you are building something of value, you need a partner that knows what they're doing and is not just going to build a demo. They need to build it the right way from the ground up."
"In the final weeks of the acquisition process, my child ended up in the hospital for almost two weeks with emergency surgery when we were right in the middle of tech diligence, and I was able to focus on my family and trust that the Emerge Haus team was taking care of everything."
"If you are a serious business person trying to build a serious business, you want pros doing the work. You want people who know what they're doing, and you want people who are a phone call away because it is such a black box."
