Good Sailors

What Good Sailors does

Good Sailors is a Czech-headquartered IT consultancy and application development firm founded in 2002, operating as a subsidiary of integrated facility management provider M2C. The company delivers three professional service lines — Software Development, UX Testing, and Extreme Talent (neurodiverse staffing) — to enterprise clients, with a differentiated model built around teams of neurodiverse individuals and people with disabilities whose cognitive profiles (pattern recognition, hyperfocus, lived-experience accessibility) are positioned as competitive advantages. Documented engagements include a workforce management system for EY in the energy sector, a customer journey platform for KPMG, game accessibility testing for Warhorse Studios' Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a gas storage management system for RWE, and a smart kiosk project, with marquee logos spanning BMW, Coca-Cola, and Asahi.

The company runs sales-led, direct enterprise engagement with no public pricing or self-service channels, monetizing through custom project-based contracts. Its only productized asset beyond services is Tracksys, an AI-assisted retail theft detection system developed for parent M2C. Operations span a Prague headquarters and a 2024-opened San Francisco office, with a team of 11–50, a leadership bench of two co-founders (Filip Molcan, Ludek Safar), a managing director, COO, and business development lead, and brand recognition through Google, Financial Times, Forbes, and EY. The firm explicitly courts investor and partner inquiries alongside client work, signaling openness to capital partnerships atypical for a 22-year operational consultancy.

Direct peers

• Auticon: Auticon is a global IT consultancy that employs autistic professionals as developers, testers, and consultants. It is the closest direct competitor to Good Sailors, offering near-identical 'neurodiversity-as-a-service' delivery across enterprise clients in multiple geographies.
• Specialisterne: Specialisterne is a social enterprise that assesses, trains, and places neurodivergent individuals (primarily autistic candidates) into IT and tech roles. It competes directly with Good Sailors' Extreme Talent staffing service and shares the same neurodiversity-as-competitive-advantage thesis.
• AbilityNet: AbilityNet is a UK-based disability charity that provides accessibility testing, usability evaluations, and WCAG audits using testers with disabilities. It directly competes with Good Sailors' UX Testing service line for enterprise accessibility compliance work.

Broad incumbents

• Accenture: Accenture is a global IT services and consulting giant with publicly committed neurodiversity hiring programs and accessibility practices. It serves the same enterprise buyers and can absorb neurodiversity-led engagements into broader transformation mandates, representing the most significant broad incumbent threat.
• Deloitte: Deloitte operates a global accessibility and digital inclusion practice within its consulting business and serves the same Fortune 500 enterprise clients as Good Sailors. Its scale and procurement relationships make it a powerful broad incumbent competing for accessibility and inclusive design mandates.
• Thoughtworks: Thoughtworks is a global technology consultancy that delivers custom software development and accessibility-focused digital products. It competes for the same custom application development and digital product engineering budgets that Good Sailors targets with enterprise clients.
• EPAM Systems: EPAM is a large IT services firm with strong Central and Eastern European delivery centers (including Prague), directly competing for the same custom software development and engineering talent that Good Sailors offers to global enterprises.
• SAP Autism at Work: SAP's Autism at Work program is a corporate neurodiversity initiative that places autistic professionals in software development roles. While not a standalone services vendor, it represents the kind of in-house capability that enterprise buyers could build, partially displacing Good Sailors' Extreme Talent value proposition.

Regional players

• Tietoevry: Tietoevry is a Nordic-headquartered IT services and software company with strong Northern European delivery. It competes for the same custom software development mandates from European enterprise clients that Good Sailors targets from its Prague headquarters.
• Ciklum: Ciklum is a Ukraine-headquartered IT services firm with Central European delivery and a focus on custom software development for global enterprises. It competes for the same application development and engineering talent in the CEE region that Good Sailors draws upon.
