Automated software development for Enterprise Teams.
What Problem We are Solving
Problem
Current software development environments are messy and complex and the proliferation of more and more tools simply makes the current ecosystem more fragmented and harder to maintain for engineering teams. Engineering teams are incurring an increased rate of technical debt and struggling with vendor and platform lock-in. Concurrently, the amount of available resources does not meet the demand and enterprises are looking to streamline operations and provide tooling that allows their engineers to work more cross functionally.
About Us
About Us
Guidepad is the platform aimed at reducing modern software development complexity by providing development teams with common, reusable tools and an automation framework. We are modernizing enterprise software development by balancing abstraction and configurable power, providing a solution for all the personas of modern software engineering to leverage one platform across Dev Ops, AI/ML Ops, Data Engineering and Workflow Automation. With Guidepad, developers express high-level requirements. The intricate details of system construction are handled autonomously.
Venture Highlights
Highlights
We have deployed Guidepad at the NSA for an AI SaaS tool that we built and sold to the Agency. Guidepad was used to build out the AI/ML capabilities of the SaaS tool and we used Guidepad to deploy and manage the system onto the NSA's network. Guidepad is also in production at AuditBoard (our first Enterprise customer) where we have implemented a data engineering use-case with the platform.

Competitive Advantage
Quote
At Guidepad, we understand that modern software development benefits from a holistic approach that goes beyond what our competitors offer. While our competitors focus on improving a single aspect of software development, our platform covers the entirety of designing, building, configuring, and managing systems. Our language-agnostic dynamic type system enables customers to design systems for unique use cases, providing solutions across multiple domains including data storage and migration, DevOps, MLOps, and API management. This allows developers to focus on operational capabilities rather than integrating distinct toolsets. By eliminating the differences between frameworks and environments, we are moving towards providing the platform that provides autonomous software development.

Go-To Market Strategy
Business Strategy
Here are our primary go to market stratgies:
Direct Sales - Reaching out directly to CTO’s, VP’s/Directors of Engineering
Events/fairs/conferences - Participate in public speaking and Enterprise software events
Press - Utilize technical blogs and websites to share our technical white papers and points of view
Word of Mouth and inbound
Digital Marketing - Utilizing SEO, LinkedIn and Twitter. Putting together a digital marketing strategy
Channel Partners - Currently talking to Accenture, Deloitte and Slalom Consulting as they are very interested in the platform and want to jointly to. it to market with their 1,000's of customers worldwide
Many competitors in this space only focus on a part of modern software development; providing schema management, database management, infrastructure-as-code, dev/ML-ops, or some capabilities related to UI construction. Many of the frameworks out in the market are currently very opinionated and must be manually configured and updated. Our solution aims to be a unified platform providing support across all of the various verticals of building, configuring, and managing systems, thereby reducing cognitive overhead unnecessary context switching while providing extensibility via a plugin framework. At a technical level, our solution differs in that we begin at the most basic layer of modern software - data - and assume that the universe around a system under development can be represented as data.
We are open to meeting up to grab a coffee, or just to chat.
We would really enjoy your feedback and insight into our venture and would be happy to discuss anything that you are currently working on to see if we can be of service!
