Solvd

What Solvd does

Solvd is a privately held, end-to-end AI engineering and digital transformation firm headquartered in Walnut Creek, California, with delivery centers in Warsaw, Medellín, Brazil, Mexico, Ukraine, Argentina, and Georgia. Founded in 2011 and operating with a team of 700+ engineers including 150+ AI/ML specialists, the company is organized around three core service lines: Core AI (custom production-grade systems in computer vision, NLP, and agentic workflows), AI Data & Cloud (data pipelines, cloud architecture, and governance on AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft, and Databricks), and Agentic Software Engineering (AI-native software delivery). Solvd also operates proprietary accelerators including the Carina Java test-automation framework, Zebrunner test analytics, and Kublr Kubernetes orchestration, alongside research outputs that include a NeurIPS 2025 Best Paper Award.

The firm monetizes exclusively through custom, quote-based professional services engagements — typically multi-year contracts with enterprise clients — supplemented by productized advisory offerings (AI Maturity Index, AI Acceleration/Center of Excellence, AI Innovation-as-a-Service) and the free Solvd.Laba education platform used as a talent pipeline. Its enterprise client base spans 100+ companies across fintech and banking (Nasdaq, NerdWallet, Sands Capital, a leading U.S. credit union), retail and e-commerce (Under Armour, a major U.S. apparel retailer, a furniture retailer), media (Reddit, The Washington Post, LiveU), autonomous vehicles (TuSimple), healthcare/fitness (MyFitnessPal, healthcare via the Tooploox acquisition), and legal technology (Ex Parte). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting CIOs and CTOs at large U.S. companies, reinforced by proprietary AI research reports, executive roundtables, and conference presence at NeurIPS, ICML, and CVPR.

Strategically, Solvd has executed two acquisitions since 2024 — EastBanc Technologies in October 2024 (adding AI advisory and Maturity Index offerings) and Tooploox in June 2025 (adding AI research depth and healthcare reach) — and joined the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation in May 2026 alongside Anthropic, AWS, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI. Leadership is anchored by CEO Mike Hulbert, Executive Chairman Igor Vayner, Chief AI Officer Pawel Solyga, CTO Skylar Roebuck, COO Markus Remark, CFO Mark Himelfarb, and CDO Alexey Khursevich.
