Master Plan
The Lightbloom Master Plan.
Building the intelligence layer that makes every company understandable.
01
Who We Are
Lightbloom is a group of hyperbuilders where everyone is technical.
We don't make PowerPoints; we build and deploy the code that moves your bottom line.
We are a self-funded, profitable company. Every dollar we've earned comes from delivering real value to clients.
This foundation lets us focus on high-impact projects that deliver material yield.
A decade in private equity gives us a precise map of where to look for waste.
Our AI-native stack lets us find and fix inefficiencies faster than firms ten times our size.
02
The Palantir Thesis
Palantir proved that deep, structured intelligence about an organization is extraordinarily valuable. They built it for governments and the Fortune 500. We're building it for everyone else.
| Palantir 2003 | Lightbloom 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| The Build | CIA via In-Q-Tel. $30M from Thiel. $2B+ raised before IPO. Unprofitable for 17 years. | Self-funded. Profitable. A consulting flywheel where revenue and R&D are the same activity. |
| The Market | Governments. Defense. Fortune 500. 125 customers after twenty years. Enormous contracts, tiny base. | Hundreds of thousands of mid-market companies. Too complex for spreadsheets. Too small for Palantir. |
| The Technology | Pre-cloud. Pre-AI. Hadoop-era. Every integration hand-built. 500+ engineers over a decade. | Foundation models. AI agents. LLM-native tooling. 20 people building what used to require hundred. |
03
The Cost Collapse
The cost of building organizational intelligence has collapsed. What used to require hundreds of engineers, years of integration work, and billions in funding can now be done by a small team with the right tools.
The gap between what Palantir charges and what it costs to deliver is wider than it has ever been. That gap is our opportunity.
The Old Model
- Palantir charges millions.
- McKinsey charges thousands per day.
- Teams of analysts. Months of integration. Complexity.
What Changed?
- AI agents do the work of analyst teams.
- Integrations that took months take days.
- The gap closes every quarter. The moat is draining.

Lightbloom Yield
Discovery
Yield talks to every person in the company. Captures how they work, what they know, what they struggle with. Then connects to their systems and pulls in everything.
200+ conversations. Every function. Every level.
Blueprint
Conversations and system data become the Blueprint. A living model of how the company actually works. Who knows what. Where people disagree. How money flows. How work gets done. Where value is created or lost. All connected.
One connected model. Updated continuously.
Reveal and deliver.
Yield reads the Blueprint and surfaces what no one could see. Contradictions, knowledge gaps, bottlenecks, waste. Ranked by impact. Agents fix what it found. Every finding backed by evidence, linked to source.
Every finding backed by evidence, linked to source.
05
The Platform
Yield is not a dashboard. It is not a chatbot. It is a system that builds a complete, structured model of how a company works and then acts on it. Conversations, system data, documents, processes, people, money. All connected. All queryable. All actionable.
Every engagement makes the platform smarter. Patterns from one company inform analysis of the next. The ontology deepens. The agents get more precise. The findings get sharper. This is the compounding engine at the core of everything we do.
06
The Flywheel
Three business lines. One compounding loop. Every line feeds the others.
Engineering Consulting
High-margin software work for clients who want to move as fast as we do.
Deep Tech Consulting
We build AI solutions for problems that were unsolvable a year ago. The expertise feeds into the Yield.
Yield Consulting
Every engagement runs through the platform and shapes what it becomes.
“The fifth engagement in a sector is dramatically faster than the first. The twentieth is transformative. Compounding is the most important thing we do.”
07
Why This Works
The Intelligence Compounds.
Client ten gets a better experience than client one, at lower cost to us. Not linear.
The Economics Transform.
Consulting margins today. Software margins tomorrow. AI gets faster, cheaper, and better every quarter. Each engagement costs less to deliver while the output improves.
The Market is Wide Open.
Hundreds of thousands of mid-market companies with real complexity and no solution. They cannot hire Palantir. They cannot afford McKinsey. We build it for everyone else.
We Live on The Frontier.
Most companies are still figuring out AI. We ship with it every day. Every breakthrough in the field makes us faster. That is a compounding advantage no one can buy their way into.
08
The Multiplier
At some point, Yield crosses a threshold. Rich enough, smart enough to deploy directly. Companies turn on Yield. It talks to their people, connects their systems, builds their Blueprint. Continuous intelligence.
That is when Lightbloom stops trading time for money.
Software margins. Recurring revenue. A fundamentally different business.
We Accelerate
The flywheel is turning.
We are self-funded. Profitable. Every engagement sharpens the platform. Every quarter the AI gets faster, cheaper, and more capable. We are not waiting for the future. We are building it.
The flywheel is already turning. Engineering funds it. Deep tech sharpens it. Yield builds it. Each rotation compounds what we know and what we can do.
We understand businesses better than anyone. And we are just getting started.
