YC Spring – Full-Stack AI Consulting Company

1•latmba06•1h ago
Hi Jared, I’m applying to the YC Spring batch with Miky, a full-stack, AI-native consulting company. Your post on full-stack AI companies describes almost exactly what I’m building. Miky is not software sold to consultants — it is a consulting business itself, staffed with AI agents and built to compete directly with traditional firms. Miky connects directly to enterprise data sources (ERP systems, Databricks, and internal financial and operational datasets) to build a continuously updated context graph of the business. On top of that, Miky generates prioritized recommendations, performance metrics, and concrete implementation plans — translating raw data into specific actions, targets, and value-creation initiatives for management teams. The system sets goals, tracks execution, and updates recommendations in real time as results and conditions change, focusing on areas such as procurement optimization, margin expansion, and top-line growth. I recently developed and piloted Miky internally while working with senior leadership at Kearney to explore whether this model could live inside a traditional consulting firm. The conclusion was that while Kearney believes this AI-native model can be highly successful and reach a large number of clients, it is very difficult for an AI-native consulting business and the traditional consulting model to coexist under the same roof. As a result, the firm chose not to pursue it internally. This creates a strong opportunity to launch Miky externally, and since the concept and IP are mine, I’m now building it independently. By background, I previously built and scaled a large consumer internet platform from zero to global scale as a founder/operator, and over the past decade I’ve worked as a senior strategy consultant advising CEOs, boards, and PE funds. Miky sits directly at the intersection of software, data, and services. I’ve already advanced conversations with potential clients including AB InBev, Belcorp, Mars, KKR, and others around the implementation of Miky in real operating environments, which has helped shape both the product and the initial use cases. I’m applying as a solo founder. While I don’t currently have a CTO co-founder, I have a clear technical roadmap and am actively building and recruiting. I believe this is a founder-market-fit problem where speed, insight, and domain expertise matter more than initial team size. Thanks for reading — I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss further. Best, Juan
