Neue Alchemy is a design-build firm for AI-native systems, ventures, and operating models — built to move from strategy to production, not disappear into decks or pilot purgatory.
We work across software, robotics, autonomy, and experience design — wherever intelligence has to survive contact with the field.
End-to-end partnership from strategy to deployment — so the work actually ships, runs, and delivers.
Decide where to invest.
Turn strategy into reality.
Make it run.
Build the muscle.
Start with a conversation. Tell us about your business, your goals, and the problems you want solved.
Let's talkPremature implementation is one of the most expensive ways to avoid a hard decision. We sharpen the decision first — then build the right part of the system.
Define the decision, the stakes, the operating context, and the path from judgment to execution.
Architect and ship the right system — venture, product, agent layer, operating model, or experience. Not a deck.
Take it to a real market with a real commercial model and an operating rhythm that holds.
Keep speed connected to judgment — decision rights, KPIs, and governance that absorb new technology.
See how these translate into measurable impact.
Start a conversationWe build ventures and systems in our own Labs and prove them in the wild — at studio speed.
A zero-touch commerce system built from scratch — brand, site, store, product, supply chain, fulfillment, and launch motion compressed from a 12-month build into a live operating venture, including marketing execution across content calendar planning, performance campaigns, social asset sourcing, and customer support operations.
A working lab for human-written, human-performable music in an AI-native industry. Every song starts with a person who can play it live; AI is used downstream for stems, harmonies, voice shaping, arrangement, mastering, and production acceleration. The first test is a licensed cover of Misfits’ “Halloween” — a controlled experiment in permission, provenance, distribution, and durable IP as music moves into the AI-native era.
A simple, useful way to stay on top of what matters. Signal + Noise turns thousands of sources into clear, personalized briefings you can actually use — combining agentic research, editorial judgment, model tracking, quality checks, text-to-audio delivery, and reader feedback. The Highlight feature lets readers save what matters, build a living signal trail, and make future briefings more relevant. It is not just a newsletter. It is a working intelligence layer that collects, synthesizes, validates, personalizes, publishes, and improves.
Workflows, agents, governance, orchestration, and human-in-the-loop systems designed to make real work faster, safer, and more accountable.
Decision rights, KPIs, governance, adoption, and scale systems for teams moving from experimentation to repeatable capability.
Wedge to MVP to market — with strategy, brand, product, go-to-market, and operating system connected from the start.
Most firms advise or build. We do both — and we don’t walk away when the slides are done.
Advisory-first, because premature build is the expensive way to dodge a hard decision. Then we build the system, ship it, and stay accountable to the outcome in the wild.
Built inside AWS, Nike, Lyft, Intuit, Upwork, VF Corp, Agility Robotics, and Daimler — and proven in the wild.
Repeatedly built and scaled during market formation.
Led from inside the enterprise.
Capital deployed globally — across startups, new categories, and emerging markets.
Unlocked through products, platforms, and ventures.
From early ML to frontier systems.
More exits than headcount.
Personal capital, real returns — backing founders across YC, Techstars, 500, and emerging funds.
A 12-month build condensed into launch — brand, site, store, product, supply chain, fulfillment, marketing. A zero-touch DTC system, live.

Take the AssessmentNeue Alchemy is led by builders who've shipped real products, scaled real systems, and operated inside the world's most demanding environments. We don't advise from the sidelines — we build alongside our partners.
Backed by the Alchemist Network — a curated bench of builders, researchers, operators, founders, and investors across healthcare, energy, fintech, mobility, entertainment, quantum, and more.
The core team stays close to the work. The Network expands the bench without turning the engagement into a handoff machine.
We don't sell AI concepts or recycled demos. We design and deploy systems grounded in your workflows, your data, and measurable outcomes.
Both. Advisory helps us define the bet before anyone starts building. We use it to identify the highest-leverage move, the risks to test first, and the evidence needed to proceed. When the case is strong, we build — systems, agents, ventures, operating models, and transformation programs.
Founders, SMBs, mid-market companies, enterprises up to the Fortune 100, nonprofits, public-sector teams, and investors. The common factor is not size. It is a moment where the old playbook is no longer enough, and the next move requires cross-domain judgment and execution.
Yes. Neue Alchemy is based in Portland, with presence across LA, SF, NYC, and Tokyo, and a global working model. The team has built and scaled inside Fortune 10 environments, and has also launched startups from zero to one to scale.
Neue Alchemy is intentionally small at the core and expansive by design. The senior team stays close to the work, then brings in specialized builders, operators, researchers, designers, and partners from the Alchemist Network based on what the mandate actually requires.
Usually with an advisory retainer, diagnostic, AI audit, strategy sprint, workshop, or executive offsite — shaped around the decision, the mandate, and the stakes. The point is to create clarity before a team spends serious money, political capital, or build time.
As infrastructure, not novelty. We are model-neutral and operating-model aware. The work is deciding what should become faster, what should stay human, and where approval, trust, risk, and accountability are required. AI only matters when it changes how real work gets done.
We are a poor fit for commodity staff augmentation, low-cost outsourcing, traditional ad or PR retainers, and template-only branding. We do take on fractional leadership, embedded build roles, and brand systems when they are connected to a larger strategic, product, venture, or operating mandate.
Share the decision you're facing and we'll come back with a clear, no-theater read on the highest-leverage next move.
