Kirk Tech Solutions

What Kirk Tech Solutions does

Kirk Tech Solutions is a Portsmouth, New Hampshire-based IT consultancy founded in 2006 by Nate Tennant (originally as Kirk Communications, rebranded in July 2024) that delivers AI transformation, cloud infrastructure, enterprise development, eCommerce platform engineering, and MedTech/IoT solutions to mid-market and enterprise clients in healthcare, financial services, technology, real estate, and consumer verticals. The firm employs 11-50 people and operates with an enterprise field-sales motion supported by content marketing, SEO, and direct consultation scheduling.

The company's flagship technology is FlatClaw, an open-source (Apache 2.0) private cloud AI coworker platform launched in May 2026. FlatClaw orchestrates agent workflows through the OpenClaw runtime — the same agent gateway Microsoft ships with its Scout enterprise Autopilot product — runs the Gemma 4 31B open-weight model in FP8 on SGLang inference, layers RAGFlow for retrieval, and supports a 256K-token context window. It deploys as a single-tenant appliance on dedicated H100 GPUs inside the customer's own VPC, gates chat, inference, agent fleets, scheduled automation, and document search behind role-based access control, and is positioned to give customers full data sovereignty with no data crossing the customer perimeter.

Revenue comes from two streams: traditional IT consulting/project-based engagements (AI readiness, cloud modernization, eCommerce platform builds, MedTech IoT engineering) and a managed-services model for FlatClaw in which the customer holds a Northflank contract for GPU compute directly while Kirk Tech delivers integration, custom connectors, and ongoing operations on a flat monthly retainer that decouples cost from agent activity. The platform-as-a-service model sells into regulated enterprise buyers (HIPAA-aligned healthcare, logistics, manufacturing), while the legacy consulting practice remains diversified across named clients such as PlaneSense, EnvoMask/Sleepnet, Gustave White Sotheby's International Realty, and East Coast Cannabis.
