Our Story
From AI pioneers in the 1990s to trusted advisors for PE-backed firms. Three decades of building cutting-edge AI models and solutions that actually ship.
Why We Exist
We founded Attercop because we were tired of seeing brilliant AI strategies gather dust. Tired of PoCs that never made it past the lab. We build PoCs - but we specialise in getting them into production: enterprise-grade code quality, scaled infrastructure, token management, observability, and performance measurement. In short, AIOps.
Every AI project should deliver clear and measurable ROI, driven by well-defined goals. Not technology for technology's sake. Not research papers masquerading as business solutions. Production systems that transform operations and drive exits.
We are AI leaders; immersed in technology, passionate about our subject - but firmly grounded in commercial reality.
Our Journey
Three decades of building, learning, and evolving our approach to AI implementation.
Building the Foundation
Our founders spent decades developing and deploying real-world, scaled machine learning solutions across multiple sectors. From early neural networks to big data, from cybersecurity to medical devices, we learned what actually works in production.
Serial Entrepreneurship
Founded four technology businesses, gaining deep understanding of the challenges facing growing companies. Experienced firsthand the gap between AI promise and delivery.
The PE Insight
Working with private equity firms and their portfolio companies, we saw a pattern: brilliant AI potential hampered by consultants who couldn't ship. The best strategies mean nothing without production systems.
Attercop is Born
Founded Attercop to bridge the gap between AI strategy and delivery. Not consultants, but builders. We do PoCs - but we don't stop there. We get systems into production with enterprise-grade code, scaled infrastructure, and full AIOps. Not years, but 100 days.
Proven at Scale
Transformed 50+ portfolio companies. Advised 15+ PE firms. Delivered systems that ship, generate ROI, and drive exits.
Our Four Pillars
The framework that guides every engagement, ensuring we deliver measurable value responsibly.
Value
Every AI project must deliver clear, measurable ROI driven by well-defined business goals. We reject technology-first approaches disconnected from outcomes.
Feasibility
Honest assessment of data readiness, technical requirements, and implementation complexity. We tell you what's actually achievable within your constraints.
Capability
Building organisational capacity to sustain and evolve AI systems. It's not just technology - it's people, processes, and culture.
Advisability
Responsible innovation grounded in explainability, fairness, robustness, privacy, and transparency. Ethics aren't optional - they're fundamental.
Our Locations
A UK company with strategic presence across Europe, combining client proximity with world-class AI and data science expertise.
Brighton, UK
Brighton is where innovation meets quality of life. A thriving tech scene without the London burnout. Close enough to the capital for client meetings, far enough away to think clearly.
Our seaside location reflects our philosophy: serious about delivery, unserious about corporate theatre. We'd rather ship code than attend networking events.
London, UK
London is where the deals happen. Our London presence keeps us connected to the PE and portfolio company ecosystem that drives our work.
Client proximity when it matters. Deep focus when it counts. Whatever your portfolio needs, we're there.
Málaga, Spain
Our Spanish hub brings Mediterranean talent to British pragmatism. Málaga's growing tech ecosystem and quality of life attract world-class data scientists and AI researchers.
A centre of excellence for our data science capabilities, combining deep technical expertise with European timezone alignment.
Skopje, N Macedonia
Home to our Scientific Advisor and a hub of AI research excellence. Skopje connects us to cutting-edge academic research and world-leading AI talent from the Balkans.
A strategic centre for advanced AI research and development, keeping us at the forefront of innovation whilst maintaining competitive delivery.
What Makes Us Different
We're not consultants. We're builders who understand PE.
Decades of Deep Expertise
Building AI systems since the 1990s. Not buzzword-chasers who discovered LLMs in 2023. We understand the fundamentals because we built the field.
Production-First Mentality
Every engagement delivers production-ready systems. We do PoCs - but we don't stop there. We deliver enterprise code quality, scaled infrastructure, token management, observability, and performance measurement. Not "phase 2 will ship." We build things that actually work in production.
PE DNA
We understand carry, IRR, and exit multiples. Founded multiple businesses. Know what it means when the fund clock is ticking. 100-day transformations aren't marketing—they're how we work.
Model-Agnostic Approach
We don't sell proprietary platforms or lock you into specific vendors. Open source first. Best tool for the job. Your data stays yours.
Responsible Innovation
Innovation is only impactful when done responsibly. We balance transformative capability with ethical considerations, explainability, fairness, and privacy. Trust isn't optional.
