We build small teams that win with AI.

Layer Group is an AI-native holding company. We build small, sharp teams that use artificial intelligence to run businesses far leaner than the incumbents they compete with — across software, manufacturing, and real assets.

The model

A holding company built for the AI era.

Most companies are bolting AI onto org charts designed for a slower world. We start the other way around — tiny teams, AI at the core, and businesses chosen because leverage compounds.

01

Incubate

We start with a wedge: a real, expensive problem and an AI-shaped way to solve it. We prototype fast, validate with real buyers, and stand the company up with the smallest team that can win.

02

Finance

We fund our companies directly and structure acquisitions of profitable operators. Patient capital, sensible leverage, and a bias toward durable cash flow over hype.

03

Scale

We embed AI into the core of every operation — sales, support, design, ops — so a team of ten can deliver what once took a hundred. Shared infrastructure, repeatable playbooks.

Layer Group Advisory

We put AI to work inside your company.

We don't sell decks. We run six AI-native businesses ourselves — so we know what actually ships, what saves money, and what's theatre. We bring that operating experience into your company and leave you with systems your team can run.

AI Opportunity Audit

We map your workflows end-to-end and find the highest-ROI places to apply AI — with a costed, prioritized roadmap, not a wish list.

Build & Integrate

Custom assistants, agents, and automations wired into the tools you already use — CRM, ERP, support, docs — and shipped to production.

Process Automation

We replace repetitive, expensive manual work — quoting, intake, data entry, reporting — with reliable AI pipelines that have humans in the loop where it matters.

Team Enablement

We train your people to use AI well and set the guardrails — security, governance, and quality — so adoption sticks after we leave.
