The Challenge
To build a VC-ready “GitHub for presentations” platform from zero. The client needed to build a complex, secure AI product fast enough to meet urgent investor expectations and deliver a “wow effect” in live demos.
Our Role
We acted as a full-cycle, “founder-level” product partner. We architected and built the entire platform, from the secure AI core and M365 plugins (PowerPoint/Excel) to the public-facing web application.
The Results
Our partnership allowed the client to be first-to-market. In the first 3 months, they:
-
-
Raised $200,000 in funding
-
Scaled to $100,000 in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
-
Onboarded a Tier 1 U.S. Venture Fund as a client

The "Wow" Quote: Our Client's Story
“Aimtraction is the only team I trust to deliver daily-changing requirements with speed and care… At times, we felt like they were more invested in our success than we were ourselves — we’ve even considered offering them equity, given how deeply they’ve earned our trust as a long-term partner.”
— William Dyess, Founder & CEO, DeckCraft.AI
When Aimtraction works as a small team, none of them waits for the others, consequently creating a functional, understandable interface that works autonomously. And as soon as the backend is ready, the frontend almost without changes begins to work with the server.
In Aimtraction, there is a simple rule: they do not create functionality twice. Whatever the functionality may be, they create either wrappers or services that encapsulate the logic related to the server, so that if needed, as few changes as possible are made.
I don’t think it makes sense to write about multi-tenancy, cross-synchronization of different platforms (web, Microsoft 360: PowerPoint / Excel), and other technical details.
In conclusion, it can be boldly stated that Aimtraction’s prey is the success of the project… They will imperceptibly take the initiative. When needed, even Lex (the founder of Aimtraction) joins the discussions (for free).
Since, apart from this startup, I have another company where I spend most of my time, thoughts, and deeds, I can confidently rely on Lex and his technical company Aimtraction. Lex is a reliable partner who, despite his desire to say everything he thinks about us (emotions often run high in XP), patiently and consistently consults us on process improvement, as we are already in the 4th month of development, and this is already the moment for creating documentation, and systematizing development: road map, CI/CD, complete standardization of development: Grooming, planning, retrospective, critical path, etc.

Steve Jobs was right, we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do. In other words, you either fully trust Aimtraction and they work miracles for you, or look for other vendors. With Aimtraction, you need to think out loud, because no one can develop your thought like they can.
