Know a trade? Build the company with us.
People who know an industry rarely have the time or the engineers to rebuild how it runs with AI. We do that part. You keep the customers and the relationships. We build and run everything behind the scenes, and we share in what the company earns.
The model
Two sides, one company.
The operator brings
- Years of knowing how the business works
- The customers, and their trust
- A way to reach more of them
16x9 brings
- Engineers and operators who work inside the company
- Mycel, the system we built to run AI at work
- Tools already running in our own companies
AI does most of the routine work. Your people keep the decisions. We share in what the company earns.
How it runs
From a trade to a company.

The trade
You bring a market you know: the customers, the relationships, a reason to be trusted, and a way to reach more.

The measure
We measure how the work runs today, or would run, and list what AI can take on, biggest saving first.

Our engineers and operators build and run the company's operations with AI. You lead sales, customers and growth.

The structure
Shares in the company, a cut of revenue, or another partnership deal, agreed in writing before work starts.

What comes next
A company that runs on fewer people has options: buy competitors, raise money, or sell for a better price. A partner firm handles that when the time comes.
Who we partner with
Four ways to start.
- Operators and foundersYou know an industry and its customers. You want to start or run a company where AI does the routine work.
- OwnersYou run an established company and would rather partner than hire a vendor. We can be paid from the extra profit instead of a fee.
- Holding companies and investorsYou own several companies and want the same AI back office running all of them.
- Brokers and advisersYou see the companies first. Bring us the ones that would sell for more with lower costs. We agree your referral terms up front.
An operator community is forming.
Founders, operators and owners who know an industry, in one place, comparing what works. Write with the trade you know and we will add you when it opens.
We build on ourselves first.
Every partnership runs on systems already working in our own companies, audited and labelled by status.
Tell us the trade you know.
Who your customers are, how you reach them, and what slows the work down today. The first conversation is about the market, not the software.
