Private AI infrastructure for regulated industries — built by a team with demonstrated exits, $500M+ in managed P&L, and a decade of Apple & Amazon engineering.
YourAI is not a general-purpose AI wrapper. It is purpose-built compliance infrastructure: SOC 2 certified, HIPAA-aligned, AWS-only, with per-organization HSM encryption, immutable audit logs, and a four-role access control system. The founding team has done material versions of this before — at scale, in regulated environments, with demonstrated exits and P&L ownership.
The three largest AI-adopting verticals — legal, healthcare, and financial services — are also the most constrained by public AI tools. Enterprise AI adoption in regulated markets lags every other sector by three to five years.

Small & mid-size law firms, medical practices & RIAs underserved today
Purpose-built private AI platforms serving the regulated mid-market currently
An encrypted document vault, RAG-powered knowledge engine, workflow automation platform, and client portal — all behind SOC 2-certified, HIPAA-ready compliance infrastructure.
AES-256 encrypted storage with per-org KMS keys. Auto OCR, chunking, and embedding into the knowledge graph.
Curated, indexed document collections that power AI analysis. Pre-built packs per vertical plus custom packs from firm documents.
Step-based automation with 8 pre-built templates. Human review gate before every output. Multi-model support.
Role-based access for end clients. View shared documents, ask AI questions with mandatory disclaimer, exchange encrypted messages.
Persistent dashboard agent. Handles onboarding, feature Q&A, and security reassurance. Intent classifier routes 80%+ without full LLM.
AI-generated outputs bundled into client-facing packages. PDF/DOCX export with branded covers. Full lineage tracking.
Every tier is SOC 2 compliant. Higher tiers unlock more storage, AI models, and enterprise features.
The fastest path to law firm adoption is not cold outreach — it is borrowing trust from IT service providers and legal couriers who are already inside the building weekly.
Already trusted with firm infrastructure. Add managed AI service to their stack. Natural upsell for existing relationships.
In the office weekly, seen as support staff. Offer document-loading as a paid add-on ($25–75/session). Zero selling skill required.
Know pain points firsthand from placing associates and paralegals. Position as a tool that helps their placements be more productive.
Recruit 5–10 IT/courier partners. Founder closes all leads. Near-zero cost.
Part-time rep for inbound + assisted referrals. $2.5–4K/mo base + per-deal.
Legal tech sales background. Target 15–20 new accounts/quarter.
Add SDR, enterprise AE. Consider VP Sales at $3–5M ARR.
Every component chosen for three criteria: compliance compatibility, performance at regulated-market data volumes, and defensibility.
Anthropic Claude · OpenAI GPT-4o · Google Gemini. Prompt router selects by task type, tier, and cost. No single-vendor dependency.
All vector storage in Aurora PostgreSQL. Row-Level Security enforces tenant isolation at the database layer. OpenSearch explicitly excluded for compliance.
AES-256 with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 KMS keys. Cryptographic erasure on account deletion — data becomes mathematically unrecoverable.
Ingest → Chunk → Embed → Store → Retrieve → Rerank → Generate → Store. Hybrid cosine + BM25 retrieval with RLS enforcement.
Append-only from Day 1. No UPDATE or DELETE permitted for any role including Admin. CloudTrail sync. SOC 2 evidence-ready by design.
ECS Fargate, Aurora Serverless v2, S3, Cognito, API Gateway, SQS, KMS, CloudWatch. Single-cloud reduces attack surface and audit scope.
| Category | Technology | Role in YourAI |
|---|---|---|
| AI Models | Claude · GPT-4o · Gemini | Constitutional AI primary reasoning. Multimodal and long-context fallbacks. |
| Frontend | Next.js 15 · Tailwind CSS | App Router, React Server Components, TypeScript strict mode. |
| Backend | FastAPI on ECS Fargate | Python microservices: ingestion, workflow execution, prompt routing, embedding. |
| Payments | Stripe + Stripe Connect | PCI-compliant billing. Four-tier pricing. Partner commission auto-payouts. |
| Dev Tools | Windsurf · Claude Code · GitHub | AI-native development. CI/CD via GitHub Actions. Agentic infrastructure automation. |
Each credential maps directly to an execution requirement YourAI faces in the next 18 months. The credentials below are not decorative.
Founded The Exterior Company at 23 with no outside capital. Grew to $50M annual revenue, 100 employees, 25,000+ completed projects. Six consecutive Inc. 5000 appearances starting at #168. Sold majority stake at $47.5M valuation. Owens Corning Platinum + GAF Master Elite (held by 3% of US contractors).
Why it translates: TEC won a commoditized, low-trust industry by being the most credentialed, most process-driven operator. YourAI is the same discipline applied to AI: compliance as a moat.
15 years in compliance-intensive healthcare — medical devices sold into hospital systems and NIH-funded research institutions. GE Healthcare Commercial Leadership → Region Manager (#1 nationally, $300M+ revenue) → VP Sales at Shields Health (acq. by Walgreens) → SVP at Cagent Vascular (driving IPO).
Why it translates: Buyer relationships in regulated procurement cycles and a track record from individual contributor to $500M+ P&L responsibility.
Seven years at Apple (Sr. SDE) building production-scale systems in the world's most security-obsessed engineering org. Three years at Amazon Web Services on large-scale distributed systems. Prior: quantitative development at BNY Mellon, Nomura, and UBS.
Why it translates: The combination of quant-finance data handling discipline and Apple/Amazon production engineering is precisely what YourAI's compliance infrastructure requires.
Founder and principal engineer of Carbon Creek Labs. Sole technical lead for multiple production SaaS products (Boostpoint, Trendable, Argolytics, Canopy Insulation) — architecture through deployment. W-2 employment with Melade equity alignment.
Why it translates: The hardest problem in early-stage SaaS is shipping production-quality product on a startup timeline with a small team. Robertson has done this repeatedly.
Two members of this team — Ryan Hoke and Ryan Robertson — are certificated private pilots. Aviation training does not teach you to fly. It teaches you to manage failure. Every preflight is a structured failure analysis. Every leg is a running decision tree.
That mental model is not incidental to how YourAI is built. It is why the architecture has per-org HSM encryption as a default, not an option. It is why audit logs are immutable by design, not by policy. Redundancy is not a feature. It is a founding assumption.
The team has already done the hard parts. The market has $49B in projected growth, 1.3 million underserved mid-market firms, and no direct competitor that is both compliant and affordable. The architecture is already SOC 2 certified. The GTM channel strategy is mapped to the buyer and not dependent on outbound cold sales.
