Create Labs Ventures

What Create Labs Ventures does

Create Labs Ventures (DBA Create Labs) is a Nyack, NY-based AI services and consulting firm founded in 2017 that designs, deploys, and operates production AI systems for enterprises, agencies, K-12 and higher-education institutions, healthcare organizations, creators, and underserved small operators. The company is minority-founded (co-founder Abran Maldonado) and positions itself against "AI science projects" by shipping pilots to production in weeks through fixed-scope, fixed-price engagements. Its product portfolio is organized around five core capabilities: AI Agents (purpose-built agents for research, lead-gen, outreach, and triage), Workflow Automation (end-to-end automations connecting Slack, HubSpot, Notion, Airtable, CRM, and data warehouses), AI Dashboards & Intelligence (live executive dashboards with AI summaries and anomaly alerts), Creative & Content Systems (brand-trained content production), and Enterprise AI Infrastructure (custom RAG platforms with role-based access, audit logging, and policy guardrails).

Underlying technology combines custom RAG systems trained on client-specific data with integrations across frontier-model providers (OpenAI, Google AI, NVIDIA, ElevenLabs). Proprietary sub-brands include Guardrailz (K-12 AI safety/compliance platform aligned to FERPA and COPPA), Evaln.ai (AI-powered classroom video observation platform), C.L.Ai.R.A. (first Afro-Latina AI virtual influencer built in partnership with TREE Industries on Unreal Engine 5), and patent-pending TechA11y (AI-generated accessibility remediation for ADA/WCAG compliance). The firm also ships BlenderGPT, featured in NVIDIA's 2023 SIGGRAPH keynote, as a generative 3D modeling tool.

The business model is dual-track: enterprise and mid-market sales through custom SOWs and discovery calls (clients include Mastercard, Verizon, Bloomberg, KPMG, NVIDIA, Capital One, Deloitte, Al Jazeera, TONL, Goldie Hawn Foundation, Global Logistics Corp, and C3Rx) alongside a self-serve PLG channel of productized AI agents starting at $99 (Qualified Lead Generation Report, AI Readiness Scorecard, Content Production Engine, AI Tools Cheat Sheet, Personalized Job Search). The education vertical uses multi-year contracts bundling custom RAG platforms, Guardrailz institutional licensing, leadership consulting, and live professional development, supplemented by self-paced Teachable courses. Revenue is generated through one-time productized purchases, professional-services fees, and recurring subscriptions. The company has not disclosed revenue, headcount, or external funding rounds.
