Cosmic deploys AI to help companies drive more revenue. It implements AI and custom software for B2B companies and judges every release by the number it moves: revenue, margin or time. ## What Cosmic does - **Problem discovery**: Analytics, customer research and user interviews come before any code. An AI agent can build the wrong thing as fast as the right one, so you leave knowing which problem, once solved, adds the most new revenue. - **Prototype validation**: AI tools make a working prototype cheap. We put one in front of real buyers, with the messaging and content around it, before you pay for the full build, so weak ideas die in the first week. - **Custom production apps**: Apps and features built by a US team directing AI coding agents in harnesses Cosmic built itself, shipped in small, frequent releases. Recent builds include an agent control plane that merged 23 PRs in one 8-hour run for $1.42. - **Search and AI-answer marketing**: Messaging, SEO and paid campaigns written to show up in Google and in the answers ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews give, and judged by booked demos and pipeline. Our publishing engine launched six content sites in 45 days. ## What makes Cosmic different ### Revenue is the deliverable Engagements are scoped around a revenue goal and reported as booked demos, pipeline, and revenue per session. Traffic and impressions show up only when they explain a revenue change. ### Validation before the build Cosmic runs problem discovery and prototype validation before quoting a build, so the build budget goes to an approach buyers have already responded to. ### Continuous delivery instead of a launch date Work ships in small releases that get measured and adjusted. The team keeps going after launch day, which is when the revenue data starts coming in. ### A seller's founder Saad has closed over $25M in new revenue at VMware Pivotal Labs. Cosmic writes copy and designs funnels the way a sales team needs them, because he ran one. ### Production-grade from the first release Custom apps are built to a stated revenue, margin or speed goal and engineered to run in production. A six-day marketplace build reached a deployed stack with 30 database tables, row-level security, about 470 automated tests, CI on every change and health-checked deploys. ### A US team, extended by AI agents A core team of four US-based tastemakers and builders makes the calls and reviews the work. AI agents running in harnesses Cosmic built itself handle much of the repetitive build work, which is how one six-day sprint shipped a marketplace with about 470 automated tests. ## Who uses Cosmic Cosmic works for the executive who owns the number at startups and private US companies that want to move fast, from early-stage teams to fast-moving departments inside large enterprises. We don't work for government agencies or hold security clearances. ### CEOs who need a working prototype of a new idea, fast. ### Chief revenue officers who can't get developer time for custom go-to-market tools or new revenue ideas. ### Chief commercial officers who need to test a new offer, market or pricing model with real buyers before committing to a full build. ### COOs who need the core workflow of a vibe-coded app ready for real users, and a clear plan for the rest. ## The team behind Cosmic ![Saad Ahmed, founder of Cosmic](https://www.cosmiclabs.net/brand/saad-ahmed.jpg) ### Saad Ahmed Founder Saad grew up in Los Angeles and has nearly 15 years in strategy, management, and sales as a digital strategist, director of sales, and product manager. He closed over $25M in new revenue at VMware Pivotal Labs, launched digital products at Capital One, and helped Viget grow from 30 to 75 people. He started Cosmic and built the Revenue Design® process after advising friends whose companies struggled to close deals and keep revenue steady. [Saad Ahmed on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ssahmed/) ### The core team and its agents Saad works with a core team of three other US-based tastemakers and builders. A global support team extends it as needed, and AI agents running in harnesses Cosmic built itself do much of the repetitive build work, with the team directing and reviewing it.
