What Fastloop does

Fastloop is a boutique data and AI consulting firm founded in 2020 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. The company describes itself as a 'small but mighty' team delivering end-to-end Data and AI services to mid-to-large enterprise clients across North America, primarily in Canada and the United States. Its service portfolio is organized around three core offerings — Scalable Data Foundations (modern data platforms, integration, modeling, data operations), Powerful AI Engines (conversational AI, automation agents, agentic AI, machine learning, process automation), and Intuitive Interfaces and Experiences (BI dashboards, embedded analytics, conversational analytics, custom apps) — supported by four productized Accelerators that compress time-to-value: the Visual Intelligence Accelerator, Pipeline Integrity Accelerator, Claude Launch Accelerator, and Agentic AI Launch Accelerator (Gemini Enterprise).

The underlying technology stack is anchored on Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Vertex AI, Gemini Enterprise, Document AI, Looker, Agent Development Kit) with parallel capability on Microsoft Azure (Fabric, Power BI, Copilot, Azure OpenAI, Foundry) and Anthropic's Claude models, plus data and integration tools (Databricks, Fivetran, Apache NiFi, LangChain, Model Context Protocol, Superblocks, AppSheet, Apache Superset). AI modalities span text, image, video, code, structured data, and multimodal inputs across use cases including computer vision, anomaly detection, autonomous agents, predictive analytics, and generative AI.

Fastloop operates a professional services, project-based revenue model using direct enterprise field sales, partner referrals (Google Cloud, Microsoft, Anthropic), and inbound via its website. Engagements typically begin with a fixed-fee discovery or proof-of-concept phase and scale into larger implementation and managed services projects; the Accelerators are sold as fixed deployment packages. Named customers span enterprise and government buyers including Suncor Energy, Hootsuite, Co-operators, Teekay Shipping, Westshore Terminals, Western Forest Products, Northland Properties, Black & McDonald, Stack Modular, Pattison Food Group, and SDC Montréal centre-ville. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or institutional investors; leadership is led by CEO and Co-Founder Breedon Grauer, Founder Trevor Carr (formerly of Noise Digital, acquired by Havas in 2023), CRO Imran Chatur, VP Finance Jason Tong (CPA, CA, CFA), VP People Delia van Heerden, Director Technology Liudas Sodonis, and Director Delivery Jordan Urban.
