Advisors who build.
A founder-led AI consultancy. We’ve built software companies of our own, and we bring that to every client engagement.
Who we are
Syriant helps businesses put AI to work, and helps investors understand the technology they’re backing.
The studio grew from years of building and scaling software companies and seeing what good software does to a business. AI has already reshaped productivity in tech. We think the larger prize is bringing the same gains to every other industry: retailers, travel and events businesses, professional services and agencies.
We still build and run products of our own. It keeps our skills sharp, and it means the tools and methods we bring to clients have been tested on our own businesses first.
How we work
We start with your reality: the workflows, systems, handoffs and knowledge that keep the business running, so AI improves what works and fixes what doesn’t without disrupting the rest.
We keep engagements small, fast and cost-contained. We work directly with your team, find the opportunities quickly and ship practical improvements that grow with you. There is no open-ended consulting cycle.
The team
Steve Ford
A serial technical co-founder who has built and scaled multiple software startups. An AI developer who turns what the models can do into tools a business can run.
Dr. Adir Shiffman
Executive Chairman of Catapult Sports (ASX:CAT), a global leader in elite sports technology. Leading a major SaaS company gives him a front-row view of how AI is reshaping the world’s software businesses.
Oliver Ford
Builds production apps with AI coding tools every day, for clients and for Syriant’s own ventures. He specialises in the databases, payments and integrations that turn a working prototype into a product people can rely on.
Ventures we’ve built
Built and operated, not just advised on.
Alongside client work, we build and run ventures of our own: active products, some in development, and earlier companies that came before.
We measure success in hours saved and revenue moved.
