A partnership, not a product.
We work with established operators who want to own the AI technology that comes out of their industry knowledge. Below is how the model actually works, who it's for, and what happens from the first conversation onward.
Confidential fit assessment
No pitch. No pressure. Practical next steps.
What is the co-build model?
XGX.AI is a co-build model for turning existing operational workflows into software companies you can own. Instead of buying software as another cost, we partner with you to build the AI product around the workflow your team already understands.
Traditional businesses are valued at 2-5x EBITDA. Technology companies command 8-12x EBITDA multiples. Our model bridges this gap by converting your internal processes into valuable software assets, creating a fundamental shift in how the market values your business activity.
Is this right for you?
This model works best for established businesses with real operations, real customers, and real inefficiencies worth solving. We typically partner with businesses that have:
- Annual revenue above the seven-figure mark
- A team of 20 or more people running operational workflows
- Manual processes that could be automated but haven't been
- Customers who would pay for an AI-powered version of what you already do
This is not for passive investors, pre-revenue startups, or anyone looking to buy software off the shelf. We build with operators who know their industry better than anyone - and want to own the technology that comes from that knowledge.
It already works.
HireStack - our AI recruitment platform built with FMS Fairmead - delivered 1.8x faster hiring speed and a 94% candidate response rate. FMS went from a traditional recruitment agency to a software company with its own technology asset.
“We're no longer just a recruitment agency - we're a recruitment software company. The transformation in our business valuation has been remarkable.”
We now have 8 live AI companies across recruitment, construction, HR, social care, e-learning, and accounting - each delivering measurable operational improvements and owned by the partner who helped build it.
Four steps from first call to live software.
Discovery Call
A confidential 30-minute fit review with our team to understand your business, industry, and operational landscape. Two-way conversation: we need to be the right fit for you, too.
Opportunity Assessment
A 2-week deep dive into your operations, mapping every AI value creation opportunity with detailed economic modelling. We agree on the specific product to build together.
Partnership Formation
We establish the SPV joint venture - a 50/50 company owned by both of us - and begin the build phase. You provide the domain expertise. We handle every line of code.
Build, Launch, Scale
Iterative development alongside your real workflows. The platform goes live inside your operations first, then extends to external customers once proven.
