About us

We're Stan and Matei.
We help businesses turn new tech into useful work.

Stan and Matei, founders of SoundSense

We started SoundSense because plans are only useful if they get built. We help decide what to do, then stay close while it happens.

MateiCo-founder · AI & engineering

Matei's expertise is in machine learning and AI. He co-founded an AI business, raised over $30M in venture capital, and sold it. He has spent 16 years building data and AI software, from algorithmic trading systems at BNP Paribas to ML applications at IBM. He's genuinely excited about how AI is going to change the way businesses run.

StanCo-founder · Product and Process

Stan has 15 years of experience building products and teams. Early on he led teams that built products with millions of users at tech giants Zynga and King. Later he focused on helping corporates start new ventures and PE-backed companies get ready for exit. He loves getting his hands dirty building things people want.

How we work

The same senior team
with you from start to finish

We get close to the work.

We speak to leaders and the people doing the work. The founders stay involved after the sales call.

One team, start to finish.

The people you meet are the people who deliver. No handovers, no surprises.

Senior people only.

Experienced people do the work. Each brings product, technology or commercial depth.

Flexible after delivery.

We support, advise, run the tech or fill the gaps. Whatever the business needs next.

Why partner for AI implementation?

AI projects stall when they sit outside the real work.

MIT found better deployment results when companies worked with external partners.

66%
deployment success with external partners

AI projects are far more likely to succeed with an outside partner.

more likely to go live

Pilots built with partners are twice as likely to reach full deployment.

higher user adoption

Twice as many people actually use the tools a partner helps build.

The right partner can help you move faster without hiring a full AI team first.

Case studies & testimonials.

Functional Gut Clinic logoPE-backed

Functional Gut Clinic

The business wanted a higher exit multiple by showing it could use AI for better customer experience and lower operating cost.

What we did

Discovery, ERP selection, automation delivery. We built a future-state vision for patient experience, ran an RFP to select a patient management system, and are now designing AI automations to deliver that vision.

BWS logoPE-backed

BWS Fire and Security

Mid-roll-up, the company needed to tighten its processes before replatforming.

What we did

Discovery, business process redesign and implementation. We ran a lightweight discovery to find efficiency opportunities. Readiness validation showed the business wasn't ready for automation yet, so we are tightening processes and data management to enable it later.

Advantage Finance

The board could see AI coming for their industry but didn't know where to start.

What we did

Discovery, software build, automation delivery. We ran a SoundSense discovery to understand the business and its direction, found high-ROI opportunities that augment their in-house systems, and are building out the highest-ranking automations.

FAQs

Questions, answered straight.

Is this another chatbot pitch?

No. We start with your business goals and processes. Sometimes the answer is buying software, sometimes custom automation, often a mix.

We bought AI licences and nothing stuck. Why is this different?

Licences without implementation fail. We train each person on their actual work, not generic prompts, and we stay long enough to make it stick.

Will this drain my team's time?

Training takes roughly half a day per person in week one for the mapping. From week two it happens on their real work, so the time largely pays for itself. Strategy is built for operators: about four hours per leader.

Is our data safe in these tools?

We set you up on business-grade plans where your data isn't used to train models, and we agree what data the tools can touch before anyone starts.

Do we have to use Claude?

No. We teach with Claude Cowork because we know it best, but the approach works with Copilot, Gemini, or what you already pay for.

Do you replace our vendors?

Only when it's the best option. Otherwise we select, implement or integrate what you already own.

How do you measure success?

Each initiative ships with target KPIs (cycle time, error rates, cost per task, impact on margin) and a simple reporting cadence.
