What PowerApps911 does

PowerApps911 is a Microsoft Power Platform consulting and training firm operating under legal entity Bold Zebras, LLC, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Maineville, Ohio under a 100% remote operating model. The company specializes in implementing and training on Microsoft's Power Platform suite—Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages, and Copilot Studio—and on Dynamics 365, serving an internationally distributed customer base across six continents. It holds WOSB (Women-Owned Small Business) certification, Microsoft Solutions Partner designation, and has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list.

The company generates revenue through multiple streams: a "Build for Me" consulting practice executing custom Power Platform implementations, Power Platform University for structured cohort-based training, an All Access Pass subscription offering, recurring managed services, and the Copilot911 / "Deploy Microsoft AI in a Week" service that packages rapid Microsoft AI adoption into a fixed-scope engagement. The firm has completed over 200 projects and trained more than 15,000 students, while a YouTube channel with 170K+ subscribers and 27M+ views functions as a primary organic customer acquisition channel.

The team numbers approximately 24, including 20+ Microsoft-certified professionals. Leadership comprises CEO Nicola Young, CTO and co-founder Shane Young (a Microsoft MVP since 2005), VP Service Delivery Allison Boswell, and VP Operations Aubrey Peter. In May 2026, PowerApps911 was acquired by Technology Management Concepts (TMC), with Shane Young appointed TMC's first Chief AI Officer—a strategic signal positioning the combined firm at the intersection of Power Platform implementation and Microsoft AI deployment.
