The company serves mid-market and enterprise customers across government/public sector, healthcare, financial services, and media & entertainment verticals in North America, delivering IT modernization, cloud migration, cybersecurity, AI deployment, data protection, end-user compute, networking, and managed services. It operates as a Native American-owned Minority Business Enterprise certified by NMSDC and CAMSC, and is led by Founder/CEO Garrette Backie (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians) and President Jasen Meece.

The company monetizes through five revenue streams: hardware resale, software licensing and resale, solutions engineering and professional services, managed services, and IT asset disposition (ITAD). Pricing is custom and quote-based, structured as multi-year enterprise contracts with Account Executive quotas of $500K+ gross profit per year, indicating a sales-led, high-touch enterprise motion.

The technology stack is third-party: Clutch resells NVIDIA/Intel GPU platforms, Rubrik data protection, Qumulo storage, Arctic Wolf/Sophos/CrowdStrike/Palo Alto Networks/Fortinet cybersecurity, AWS/Azure/GCP cloud, and Salesforce AgentForce. It layers proprietary AI advisory and integration services, a Clutch AI Bot for customer engagement, and TD Synnex Destination AI certification on top. The firm has appeared on the Inc. 5000 for five consecutive years (149% three-year revenue growth, 2025 ranking No. 2785) and earned four consecutive CRN Triple Crown Awards.
