Mission
Kingmakers helps organizations move from AI experimentation to durable, production-ready agent systems. We believe in statefulness, ownership, and long-term capability building—not quick fixes or rented hype.
Our Principles
Idea Meritocracy
Always put your honest thoughts on the table. Bring together smart, independent thinkers to have productively, thoughtful disagreements to come up with the best possible collective thinking, and resolve their disagreements in an open-minded way.
Have Integrity
Have integrity and demand it from others. Never say anything about someone that you wouldn't say to them directly and don't try people without accusing them of their faces. Don't let loyalty to people stand in the way of truth and openness.
Own Your Stack
We favor architectures you can understand, maintain, and extend. No vendor lock-in, no black boxes. Build systems you truly own and control.
State Over Vibes
We rely on state machines, rules, and clear workflows—not just prompts and hope. Build deterministic systems that behave consistently.
Reliability Over Demos
Production behavior matters more than conference stage moments. We build for the real world, not just impressive demonstrations.
Education Over Dependency
We train your teams to evolve the kingdom long after we're gone. Knowledge transfer is built-in to every engagement.
