The Intelligence Factory builds AI systems for people who need accuracy in their work.

We are based in St. Louis, Missouri, on historic Route 66. We build from the middle of the country, close to the kinds of operations and finance leaders who drive real businesses every day.
About The Intelligence Factory
It started with a simple question:
What would happen if we fed business data into a game engine?
To find out, we hired young gamers and developers. Some were still in high school, others in college, all of them brilliant.
We asked them to treat enterprise data the way a game would, and experiment. "Play" the business as a game. They built, tested, and iterated with our guidance until Envision was born, an immersive way to see and interact with your business in motion.
Along the way, we realized that the engine driving Envision could stand on its own. That engine became Derive, the math driven decision system that answers real questions from real data.
We bootstrapped five years of research and product work, funded by ad hoc client projects while the platform matured. Over the summer of 2025 we took in our first investment. Now we are focused on scaling Derive and Envision to market with the same mindset we started with:
We combine rigorous iteration, serious engineering, and a clear focus on who we are building for:
You.
