Speed Shift Ventures

Applied AI for Mission-Critical Outcomes

In a world of hype, results are what matter. The Speedshift AI Foundry exists for a single purpose: to build and deploy practical, high-impact AI solutions that solve the real-world challenges of government and enterprise.

We are not a theoretical research lab. We are a dedicated applied innovation hub where customer needs are the blueprint for everything we build. Our process begins and ends with the mission, whether it’s protecting taxpayer dollars, securing financial systems, or ensuring the integrity of healthcare programs. We build AI that is adopted because it is designed, from day one, to be used.

Our Approach: From Problem to Deployed Solution

Our Foundry operates on a clear and disciplined development philosophy that rejects "AI for AI's sake." We focus on creating tangible value and a clear return on investment for our partners.

  • Mission-Driven Discovery Every project begins with a deep collaboration with our federal and commercial clients. We work to thoroughly understand the operational challenge, the existing workflows, and the desired outcomes. This ensures we are not just solving a technical problem, but a core business or mission need.
  • Agile & Collaborative Development We employ an agile, iterative development process that keeps our clients involved at every stage. This allows for continuous feedback, ensuring the solution remains aligned with user needs and can adapt to new information. We build with you, not for you.
  • Focus on Adoption & Usability An AI solution has no value if it’s too complex to be used. We prioritize the human side of AI, building intuitive interfaces and seamless integrations that empower your team, not burden them. Our goal is to augment human expertise and make your organization more effective.
  • Secure, Scalable & Resilient Deployment Built on a foundation of deep public sector and enterprise expertise, every solution we develop is engineered for security, scalability, and resilience. We understand the rigorous demands of mission-critical environments and build our AI to meet and exceed those standards.

Initial Focus Area: AI-Powered Fraud Detection

To launch the Foundry, Speedshift is focusing on one of the most pressing and costly challenges facing both public and private sectors: fraud.

Our initial suite of AI solutions is engineered to detect, prevent, and analyze fraud schemes in high-stakes environments: Fraud Detection for Healthcare  and Fraud Detection for Financial Services
