How we work
Operator-Managed Programs
Every engagement is operator-managed. An experienced operator, someone who has built and run circular economy businesses and programs, leads your project as your one point of contact. Behind them, a fully dedicated team of AI engineers builds and runs the systems, and a network of vetted local providers and partners handles the on-the-ground work where needed. Hands-off for you, end to end.
And when you are ready, we take it all the way: fully autonomous operations. A custom agentic system runs your entire circular program around the clock, with an experienced operator in the loop - so the work never stops, and there is always a person answerable for the results.
How it works
What we do
Our Three Products
Launchpad
Launch it.
We build and launch the product or the program: AI-powered apps, platforms and customer-facing tools for startups, and circular programs designed, launched and run for operators and enterprises. Built on operator experience, not just AI.
See LaunchpadGrowth Engine
Grow it.
Agentic sales and marketing that finds your buyers, qualifies them, and fills the pipeline or the schedule. Includes AI Search Optimization, so you are the answer when buyers ask an AI instead of a search box.
See the Growth EngineOps Autopilot
Automate it.
Agentic AI that automates your workflows and processes: logistics, grading, orders, scheduling, billing, reporting, and the back office. Lower cost, higher efficiency, better margins.

The four loops we focus on.
We’ve built businesses in all of them.
Reverse Logistics
Nothing circular happens until goods move backward. We build agentic AI for routing, load matching, scheduling, returns, and documentation. We founded a nationwide, VC-backed circular logistics platform.
See what we offerResale
Branded resale, trade-in programs, and secondhand platforms. We build AI-powered systems for intake, grading, pricing, listing, and inventory sync. We built a DOE prize-winning resale platform ourselves.
See what we offerRepair
Repair loses to disposal on cost. We build AI that changes the math: diagnostics from photos, repair-or-replace decisions, instant quoting, and parts identification, so repair becomes affordable again.
See what we offerRecycling
From collection to commodity trading, recycling runs on thin margins. We automate quoting, load matching, sourcing, compliance, and the back office that eats your margin. We built a recycling platform used in 150 countries.
See what we offerThe problem we solve
Circular operations are complex, margin-tight, and still mostly manual.
Circular businesses don’t die from a lack of goodwill. They die of economics, for two reasons: the unit economics don’t work, and they never reach scale. Usually both, and the two feed each other.
Logistics is the silent killer on the cost side, the largest single share of margin. Agentic AI is the first thing that moves both levers at once: it collapses the costs that kill margin, and it adds the capacity and reach to scale. We’ve built and run these businesses ourselves. Now we build agentic AI for the circular economy.
The circular economy has two problems: unit economics and scale.
Most circular businesses die of one, or both. Agentic AI moves both.
Why us
Experienced team with 30+ years of combined experience in circular tech and AI.
Our edge is first-hand: we’ve both built AI-powered technology for the circular economy and run large-scale circular programs.
That experience is why we know where AI actually moves the numbers, and where it doesn’t.
Built and shipped multiple AI-powered platforms for the circular economy.
Won two prizes from the U.S. Department of Energy for our AI-powered reuse and resale platform.
Won an Environmental Leadership Award for our global recycling platform, serving recycling businesses in over 150 countries on 5 continents.
Built and operated an AI-powered circular logistics platform and received institutional investment from leading VC firms.
Selected as a finalist of the Reduce Plastic Waste program run by the global Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
Built and operated a circular economy incubator within a global recycling and reuse corporation, and launched a recycling program for hard-to-recycle waste streams.
How it works
From your goal to a working system, in three steps.
A clear scope, a clear quote, and a dedicated team on your project.
You talk to Otto.
Describe the problem or your need. You get a first solution sketch in the conversation itself, and our team follows up with a more detailed solution within 2 business days.
We scope it together.
Our team gets back to you to discuss what we can build, automate, and scale to match your goals. We agree on the scope and the cost, a quote tailored to your project’s requirements.
We build and deliver.
We assign a team of AI engineers who take on the project and work with you to deliver what we agreed, built, deployed, and running.
Beyond circular
Beyond Circular: Climate Tech
If your business is in renewables, sustainable transportation, or other climate tech space, the growth problem and the margin problem are the same, and so is our approach.
