Project Rising

What Project Rising does

Projekt Rising is a Peterborough, United Kingdom-based AI services agency, founded in or around 2017-2018, that helps owner-managed small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) embed practical AI capabilities into the tools and workflows they already use. The firm positions itself as an embedded AI partner rather than a software vendor, front-ending client engagements with an AI Discovery consulting phase that identifies where AI can deliver value before any build work, followed by bespoke Custom AI development. Around this core services model, it offers a catalogue of modular solutions organised into Knowledge Management (Chatbots and Answer Bots), Process Automation, Voice AI, Image and Video, Data Analysis and Insights, and Document Production, plus a standalone AI Toolkit listed in the site's top navigation and an Education Resources layer of keynotes, webinars, whitepapers, workshops, and training.

Underlying technology is applied and integrated rather than proprietary: the firm composes third-party AI building blocks across text, audio, image, video, and structured-data modalities, covering NLP, computer vision, speech, generative AI, predictive analytics, and process automation, and integrates them into client environments. There is no public API, no SDK, and no disclosed proprietary model or training pipeline in the source material. Two co-founders (Tim Davies, CEO & co-founder; Oliver Corder, co-founder) lead the firm, which reports 1-10 employees.

The business model is professional services-led. Revenue is generated through fee-based AI Discovery and AI Development engagements on a quote-based, project-scoped basis with multi-year contracts, supplemented by paid education and training programs and referral-sourced engagements. Go-to-market is direct, consultative, and founder-led: the website drives prospects into "Get Started" or "Book Time" conversations, with no channel partners, marketplace, or self-serve transactional motion. The firm claims worldwide client reach from its UK base, lists six named SME customers (Profitable Marketing, Allied by Flagship Partners, JS Davidson, Clearlines, Keystone Marketing, Oliver Agency), and has secured two external recognitions: the EU Business News "Most Innovative AI Solutions Developer CEO (UK) 2024" award and an Adweek "Best Innovation in Accessible Tech (Bias Breaker)" recognition. A single Growth Lending financing event of $120,108 in June 2022 is on record; no venture or private equity capital is disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Professional services (AI Discovery + AI Development): Fee-based consulting and bespoke development engagements. The "seed and grow" model implies smaller initial discovery or proof-of-value projects that expand into larger development work over time, producing a land-and-expand dynamic typical of professional services.
2. Education and training (keynotes, workshops, webinars, whitepapers, training): Revenue from paid or partner-driven education programs that also act as a top-of-funnel feeder into the AI Discovery and AI Development services.
3. Referral-driven engagements: A Refer link and customer-testimonial-led motion suggests revenue is partly generated through referral-sourced consulting and development work.

Core offering

Projekt Rising is a Peterborough-based AI services agency that embeds artificial intelligence into the existing tools and workflows of owner-managed SMEs. It delivers bespoke AI integration work, supported by an AI Discovery assessment, an AI Toolkit of reusable modules, and education programs covering knowledge management, process automation, voice AI, image and video AI, data analysis, and document production.

Product overview

Projekt Rising delivers a portfolio of practical AI services and modular solutions aimed at owner-managed SMEs that want measurable results without heavy transformation programmes. The proposition centres on a core Custom AI build service, supported by an AI Toolkit (a distinct product accessible from the site's top navigation) and front-ended by an AI Discovery engagement that surfaces the right first move. Around this, clients can deploy a catalogue of solution modules organised into Knowledge Management (Chatbots and Answer Bots), Process Automation, Voice AI, Image and Video, Data Analysis and Insights, and Document Production. Education Resources (keynotes, webinars, whitepapers, workshops, training) wrap around the technical offering to support adoption, and the whole proposition follows a "seed and grow" model that proves value early with one module and expands at the business's pace.
