About
We're a small firm doing serious work.
Strathmore was founded by senior practitioners who got tired of watching AI programs get sold heavy and shipped light. We exist to be the opposite of that.
Our mission
Make AI work,
for serious teams.
The AI market is loud. We're not. We take fewer clients than we could, work deeper than most firms do, and we say no to engagements we don't think we can deliver well.
When you hire Strathmore, you get the people on this page — not a deck-shaped promise about who'll do the work. Our team has shipped production AI at banks, hospitals, governments, and start-ups. We bring that, and the scars that come with it.
Timeline
Seven years. One way of working.
2019
Strathmore founded
Three senior practitioners walk out of large consultancies to build a firm that ships production AI — not slide-ware.
2021
First production LLM at scale
Underwriting copilot deployed at a tier-one bank. Cycle time cut 37%, audited and live.
2023
Practice expands to five disciplines
Strategy, automation, custom AI, data & analytics, and enablement formalised as one operating system.
2024
40+ engagements shipped
Across finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing and government — with a 94% pilot-to-production rate.
2026
Strathmore today
A senior-led firm of practitioners. Selective by design. Working with a short list of teams who want AI that actually moves the business.
Operating principles
Four ideas we don't compromise on.
01
Ship the work
We measure ourselves by what's running in production, not by what's in the deck.
02
Senior by default
Every engagement is led and delivered by practitioners with real production AI experience.
03
Quiet rigour
We bring evaluation, guardrails, and engineering discipline to systems most teams ship without.
04
Honest about scope
We say no to engagements we can't deliver well. It's better for everyone — especially you.

Senior by default. Generalists by accident.
