On the ground across
Boulder has one of the densest concentrations of federal research in America: NCAR models the planet's atmosphere from its Mesa Laboratory, NOAA runs major earth-science labs in town, and NIST's Boulder campus keeps the country's atomic clocks. Around that core, the University of Colorado Boulder feeds a startup economy that Techstars helped make famous, spanning cleantech, aerospace, biotech, and quantum.
Google's Boulder campus, IBM's longtime site in Gunbarrel, and the space heritage of Ball Aerospace, now BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems, give the city enterprise depth unusual for its size, while Pearl Street and Flatiron Park host the startup layer. It is a research town where technical credibility is table stakes. The highest-stakes workflows sit in climate & cleantech — climate analytics and clean-energy firms building on NCAR and NOAA earth-science data. Related work lives in aerospace & advanced manufacturing and biotech & life sciences. SOC 2, HIPAA, and ITAR / export controls shape how data and automated decisions have to be handled; we design for those constraints first so nothing gets retrofitted later.
arosplatforms builds production AI for Boulder teams that has to clear a review, not just impress in a walkthrough: grounded systems, human review where the stakes demand it, and deployment in your own cloud. We are remote-first, work Mountain time, and come on the ground in Boulder for discovery and workshops. Between those sessions the build keeps moving, on fixed scope, with a working demo every week.

Services we deliver in Boulder
The work most relevant to Boulder's industry mix, from first strategy through systems running in production.
Industries we serve in Boulder
We deliver on Mountain time, can be on the ground in Boulder for discovery and workshops near Pearl Street, Flatiron Park, or the CU East Campus, and run the rest remotely so momentum never stalls. Every system is deployed in your own cloud, documented for audit, and owned by your team.
Discover
On the groundWe meet your team locally to map the highest-leverage problem and the data behind it.
Build
In your cloudWe engineer, evaluate, and harden the system inside your environment, not ours.
Run
Owned by youYou get the code, the weights, and the documentation. We can run it or hand it over.

It depends on scope. A focused readiness assessment or a single production use case, like a research knowledge base or an engineering-document assistant, is a fixed-fee engagement. Larger builds are scoped after a free discovery call with an honest range.
Climate and cleantech firms building on NCAR and NOAA data, aerospace and space programs with heavy engineering documentation, and biotech around CU's BioFrontiers Institute see the fastest return. Scientific search, extraction, and quality workflows are where grounded AI pays off.
We are remote-first, work on Mountain time, and meet clients on the ground around Pearl Street, Flatiron Park, Gunbarrel, and the CU campus for discovery, workshops, and key milestones. Your AI runs in your own cloud, not ours.
Yes. We build with security and auditability from day one, deploy in your environment, including government cloud regions where ITAR or agency rules require it, and produce the controls and evaluation evidence that compliance teams and SOC 2 auditors expect.
A first production use case typically goes live in weeks, not quarters. We start from one high-leverage research or engineering workflow, prove it with evaluation, then expand.
