OptimiseAI were scaling fast but stretched thin. They had outdated branding, a website that wasn't fit for the market, and a product roadmap that demanded deep tech expertise in energy management and data visualisation, which they couldn't source on their own. As a seed-stage startup, the budget was tight, and every hire had to count.
Alteam worked with OptimiseAI across two distinct scopes. The first covered a full website redesign and MVP design, handled by a dedicated UX/UI and web designer. The second augmented their core engineering team with specialist contractors, including a senior data modeller and software engineer with direct energy management expertise, to deliver features for their pilot projects. Alongside the retainer, we ran a full recruitment process to identify, interview and place a permanent mid-weight software engineer at their Cardiff office.
OptimiseAI went to market with a brand and website that reflected their ambition, a specialist team capable of delivering on their technical roadmap, and a permanent hire embedded in their core office. All of it delivered within seed-stage budget constraints, with contractors onboarded and paid through a single monthly invoice.
