What We Build
Custom Software, AI, and Automation for Growing Businesses
Three core capabilities. One team that knows your business and your market.
Why Local Matters
A Real Partner, Not an Offshore Ticket Factory
Too many businesses have been burned by agencies that overpromise, outsource everything, and disappear when things get hard. MintUp is two founders, a tight engineering team, and a commitment to NE Ohio businesses that deserve better.
Based in Cleveland
We're here. Same timezone, same coffee shops, same commitment to Northeast Ohio. When you need us, we're a phone call away.
Fixed-Price Projects
No hourly billing surprises. No scope creep. You know what it costs before we write a line of code.
Real Engineers, Not Resellers
We write the code ourselves. No white-label shops, no offshore handoffs. Your project is built by the team you meet.
Northeast Ohio Industries
AI and software for the businesses people actually search for.
We focus on local, high-intent categories where better systems and better visibility turn directly into booked calls, cleaner operations, and more revenue.
Med Spas & Wellness Clinics
Automated lead intake, booking follow-up, membership tracking, and AI search visibility for high-value local services.
Dental & Healthcare Practices
Patient intake workflows, referral tracking, reporting dashboards, and tools that reduce front-desk busywork.
Home Service Companies
Quote follow-up, dispatch workflows, CRM cleanup, and automations that keep leads from falling through the cracks.
Legal & Professional Services
AI-assisted intake, document workflows, local search authority, and custom portals for repeatable client communication.
Manufacturing & Operations
Internal dashboards, inventory workflows, quoting tools, and AI systems that connect the floor to the back office.
Service Area
Built in Cleveland. Available across NE Ohio.
Whether you are a med spa in Westlake, a dental practice in Beachwood, a home services company in Mentor, or a manufacturer near Akron, we help turn scattered tools into systems that scale.
Brunswick is home — MintUp is based here. And Medina is home turf: when a Medina business wants to talk through a project, we meet at your shop, in person.

Who We Are
Two Founders. One Mission.
Nick Vadini (CTO) and Jonah Clement (CEO) started MintUp to give Northeast Ohio businesses the same technical advantage big companies take for granted. Custom-built tools, real AI that works, and software that actually fits how you operate.
We're based in Brunswick and we work with business owners across Northeast Ohio who are tired of off-the-shelf tools and offshore agencies that don't deliver.

How We Work
How a Northeast Ohio project actually starts
It starts with a conversation — usually over coffee in Brunswick or Medina, or a 30-minute call. We learn how your operation actually runs before we scope anything. Then we map the systems: what to automate, what to build, what to connect, and where AI earns its keep. You get a fixed price before a line of code is written — no hourly surprises, no offshore handoffs.

Local Questions
Cleveland AI and Software FAQs
What kinds of Northeast Ohio businesses does MintUp work with?
We work with growing local businesses that need software, automation, or better AI search visibility, including med spas, dental practices, home service companies, law firms, manufacturers, and professional service firms.
Can you help a Cleveland business show up in AI answers?
Yes. Our AI search optimization service helps ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, Google AI Overviews, and other answer engines understand what your business does, who you serve, and why you should be cited.
Do you build custom software or only AI tools?
We build both. Many projects combine a custom app, CRM or scheduling integrations, workflow automation, and AI agents that handle repetitive work inside the business.
Do you serve businesses outside Cleveland?
Yes. We are based in Brunswick, just south of Cleveland, and work across Northeast Ohio, including Lakewood, Westlake, Beachwood, Mentor, Akron, Canton, Youngstown, and nearby suburbs.
Do you work with small businesses in Cleveland?
Yes, when the operations are real. We provide AI services for small business in Cleveland the same way we do across Northeast Ohio: we build for established, owner-run businesses of every size, as long as there are real workflows and real customer volume worth automating.
Start With Your Context
AI isn't the problem. Your context is.
For most Northeast Ohio businesses, the first step is the Second Brain workshop: one working session where we turn your calls, documents, and SOPs into a business memory AI can actually use. Everything we build after that lands on solid ground.

A 30-minute discovery call. No pressure, no pitch deck. Just a conversation about your business and how we can help.
