We deploy capital into workflow automation and custom agents. You pay from revenue, not upfront.
MarketStra partners with Newport Beach businesses to build AI systems that replace repetitive processes with intelligent automation. We fund the strategy, engineering, and deployment of custom Claude agents, sales sequences, client intake workflows, and data pipelines. You compensate us from revenue share over 24 months. No upfront costs. No monthly retainers. If the automation doesn't perform, we don't get paid.
Newport Beach operates at a different pace than most markets. Wealth management firms handle hundreds of high-net-worth relationships with manual reporting cycles. Luxury hospitality groups coordinate reservations, concierge requests, and guest data across multiple properties. Real estate teams juggle transaction documents, client communications, and vendor schedules without integrated systems. Legal practices drown in discovery files, intake forms, and client follow-ups that still rely on paralegals and spreadsheets.
The businesses succeeding here aren't the ones throwing people at volume problems. They're the ones automating baseline operations so senior staff can focus on the relationships that actually drive revenue. A wealth advisor spends less time pulling portfolio reports when an agent handles it overnight. A property manager stops chasing maintenance vendors when a sequence automates the follow-up. A real estate broker closes faster when contract intake runs through a pipeline instead of email threads.
We built MarketStra to fund these builds without asking founders to expense capital they'd rather deploy elsewhere. The businesses we partner with in Newport Beach treat AI automation as operational leverage, not a tech experiment.
We invest operating capital to design, build, and deploy your AI systems. That includes our engineering team, the Claude API costs, workflow architecture, integration work, testing cycles, and ongoing optimization. You fund nothing upfront. Instead, we take a percentage of revenue generated or cost saved by the automation over 24 months. If your intake agent qualifies 40 leads a week that used to require two employees, we share in the margin gained. If a data pipeline eliminates six hours of weekly reporting, we participate in that efficiency.
Our contracts are service-specific and outcome-focused. We're not building agents for the sake of deployment. We're funding systems that either create revenue or collapse cost structures. You retain full ownership of the code, workflows, and data. We just get compensated when the work performs.
Wealth management firms with repetitive client reporting. Real estate teams coordinating transactions across multiple parties. Legal practices managing intake and discovery workflows. Hospitality groups handling guest requests and vendor scheduling. Any business where high-value staff spend time on processes that follow predictable logic.
No. We assess your current stack and build around it. If you're running operations through email, spreadsheets, and a basic CRM, we design agents that integrate with those tools. If you have more sophisticated systems, we connect into APIs and databases. The goal is automation that works with how you already operate, not a platform migration.
We baseline the current cost structure before deployment. If an agent replaces 15 hours of weekly labor at a known burden rate, we calculate the monthly savings and take a percentage of that. If a pipeline eliminates outsourced reporting at a fixed monthly cost, we share in the delta. The contract specifies the measurement approach upfront so there's no ambiguity at settlement.
We don't get paid. Revenue share only triggers when the system performs. If an intake agent doesn't qualify leads or a sequence doesn't engage prospects, we keep building until it works or we terminate the engagement. We have no incentive to deploy underperforming automation because our return depends on your results.
Yes. Most partnerships start with one workflow or agent, validate performance, then expand into adjacent processes. A firm might begin with intake automation, then add a client communication sequence, then layer in reporting pipelines. Each expansion is a separate capital deployment with its own revenue share term.
