Work we've done for Northeast Ohio businesses, and beyond.

  • Client workBusiness automation · AI agents
    An event venue

    Site, events, and reporting run by an AI crew.

    Website updates, the event calendar, search health, and weekly reports handled by an agent team a non-technical marketer runs from Slack.

  • Client workSystems integration
    A manufacturer

    ERP to CRM, without re-keying.

    Contact and order data flows from the manufacturing ERP into the sales CRM automatically, so the sales team works from live records.

Follow-up System

$5,000 build · $500/mo to run

  • Capture every lead from your site, phone, and forms
  • Enrich it and respond in minutes, by text and email
  • Book the appointment straight into your calendar
  • Update the CRM, so nothing lives in someone's head

Fixes: Missed calls, slow follow-up, leads that never reach the CRM.

FlagshipSix-month term

Build & Run

$6,500/mo

Starts with a two-week roadmap: we map the business, audit the stack, and fix one real problem. Then a senior team builds your system and runs it, shipping working software every week.

Instead of one developer hire, you get a whole team, and you own everything from day one. Six months, then stay, step down to Care at $2,500 a month, or leave with all the code and accounts.

Fixes: Manual handoffs between tools, no engineer in-house, software that stalls after launch.

Beyond one system

Need product and demand run together? Build & Run + Growth adds paid media and funnels for $9,500 a month, ad spend billed separately. Need CTO-level ownership across several products? A full technology team is scoped and priced in a custom proposal.

Northeast Ohio businesses with real work crossing three or more tools.

Owner-led companies with 10 to 150 people, and founder-led software products that need a senior team without hiring one.

  • Home service companies

    Quotes go out the same day, follow-up happens without a reminder, and dispatch stops living on a whiteboard.

  • Contractors and trades

    Estimates, proposals, and invoices in one system the crew can actually use from a truck.

  • Manufacturers and distributors

    Quoting, order entry, and inventory connected to the back office instead of re-keyed into it.

  • Professional services

    Intake, documents, and client updates handled by the system, so billable people do billable work.

  • Venues, events, and hospitality

    Bookings, calendars, and reporting kept current by an assistant the team runs from Slack.

A team you can meet, not a ticket queue.

We work across Cleveland, Lakewood, Westlake, Rocky River, Beachwood, Shaker Heights, Mentor, Medina, Brunswick, Akron, Canton, and Youngstown, and with operators across the U.S.

  1. 01

    Same timezone, same roads

    Brunswick is home and Medina County is home turf. We meet at your shop when it helps, and we're a phone call away when it doesn't.

  2. 02

    We write the code ourselves

    No white-label shops, no offshore handoffs. The people on the call build the system and keep it running.

    You know the price before we start

    Fixed-scope builds are fixed. Build & Run is one monthly number. No hourly meters, no surprise invoices.

Cleveland AI agency questions, answered.

  • Who builds custom AI agents in Cleveland?

    MintUp. We're an AI-first software team based in Brunswick, just south of Cleveland. Nick Vadini leads engineering, Jonah Clement runs growth and is your main contact, and a bench of around 10 senior developers is staffed to the work. Nothing is white-labeled or sent offshore.

  • What does an AI agency in Cleveland cost?

    Our fixed-scope Follow-up System is $5,000 to build and $500 a month to run. Build & Run, where a senior team builds and runs your software, is $6,500 a month on a six-month term. Adding paid media and funnels is $9,500 a month. A full technology team is scoped on a call. The first call is free.

  • How fast will we see something working?

    Two weeks. Build & Run starts with a two-week roadmap that includes fixing one real problem, and after that working software ships every week. Fixed-scope builds like the Follow-up System are typically live within a month.

  • Do you work with businesses outside Northeast Ohio?

    Yes. About half our work is with operators across the U.S. Being local is a bonus for Cleveland, Akron, and Canton companies, not a requirement.

  • Do we own the code, the accounts, and the data?

    Yes, from day one. Repos, accounts, and keys are in your name. If we part ways, you keep everything.

  • What kind of business is a fit?

    Owner-led companies with 10 to 150 people whose work crosses three or more tools, and founder-led software products that need a senior team without hiring one. If the operation is real, we can usually find the first thing worth building.

Two founders, in the work.

The same people who plan the system build it and keep it running, backed by a bench of around 10 senior developers. You'll hear from a founder within 24 hours.
