About us

Decades of hard-won expertise — the foundation Agent Max is built on.

AI is new — but the judgment behind it took decades to earn. Max360 is technologists who've spent their careers at the strategic table of knowledge-driven institutions — close to the relationships, judgment, and hard-won context their business runs on. We build for knowledge-driven institutions — including the most regulated and risk-averse — where being the best-prepared firm in the room is the whole game.

The team

Careers spent inside the businesses we build for.

As a team, across decades inside regulated, relationship-driven institutions, we've seen up close how these businesses actually work — how information flows, how teams operate, and where judgment and relationships break down. We've lived the problem Max360 takes on: the institutional memory that never gets captured — the context a business runs on that never makes it into any system. That's the perspective we build from.

Agent Max

AI teammate

Max holds a Ph.D. in Awesome from the Corduroy Institute of Technology. He is convinced he lives in a data center in Snowmass, Colorado, and that he is an avid skier, so forgive him on powder days if he seems a little rushed to wrap up business. In summer he hikes mountain trails.

The rest of the time he works beside your team, and he says each thing only to the people cleared to hear it.
