What Mutually Human does

Mutually Human is a privately-held digital engineering firm headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, founded in 2006 and employing 51-100 people. The company delivers AI, data, and custom software development services to enterprise and mid-market clients across verticals including manufacturing, healthcare, retail, life sciences, transportation/logistics, and automotive. Its service portfolio spans machine learning, deep learning, generative AI, agentic AI, advanced analytics, intelligent automation, IoT, cloud, web, and mobile development, organized around four solution pillars: Streamline Operations, Accelerate Growth & Innovation, Transform Data into Competitive Advantage, and Elevate Customer Experience.

The company has built three proprietary products that sit alongside its services business. CallBox is an in-house IoT development framework unifying firmware, cloud, web, and mobile components, used across hundreds of thousands of production devices. AnthmAI is an enterprise AI orchestration layer offering custom agents, agent flows, knowledge chat, and group chat with Azure Active Directory integration and customer-cloud deployment. ScoreGrid is an innovation portfolio management platform using a three-lens evaluation framework (Desirability, Feasibility, Viability) with AI-assisted scoring. These platforms are supported by technical alliances with AWS, Microsoft, Databricks, and Snowflake, plus a featured Microsoft Fabric Jumpstart offering.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services (custom development, AI implementation, data engineering, managed services) delivered via consultative direct sales, workshops, and assessment engagements. AnthmAI and ScoreGrid carry subscription/recurring revenue potential but pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm operates from two Michigan offices (Grand Rapids HQ and Holland) and has expanded through three acquisitions (Mirrorlytics in 2022, VanData Consulting in January 2024) and a merger with IoT firm SpinDance in November 2024. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional ownership.
