WHO WE ARE
We founded Aveniq because we lived the frustration firsthand. Darren spent decades watching brilliant creative teams burn out chasing billable hours instead of breakthroughs.
Steve spent decades watching massively complex programs carry enormous financial and operational risk. Getting hard stuff done is hard. Doing impossible things is even harder.
We’d both been working with AI for years, but when it hit an inflection point, we saw a new path. De-risk complex work. Make it fun again. With AI, we’re all in for doing the impossible and the hard. So we built the partner we always wished we’d had: senior operator judgment plus Human+AI capability to reduce risk, improve quality, and move at a speed that used to be impossible.
