We fund custom automation. You get operational leverage without upfront cost or giving up equity.
Most Orange businesses know they should be using AI. Fewer know where to start. We build custom Claude agents and automation workflows for healthcare providers, university operations, professional service firms, and retail businesses around Old Towne. Our capital funds the development and deployment. You pay nothing upfront and keep full ownership. We earn back through a percentage of revenue growth over 24 months.
Orange has a specific operational texture. St. Joseph Hospital and related healthcare networks run on scheduling systems, patient intake, billing reconciliation, and compliance documentation. Chapman University juggles admissions pipelines, student services, alumni engagement, and research administration. The antiques dealers and specialty retail shops on the plaza manage inventory, vendor relationships, customer follow-up, and event coordination. Professional service firms — legal, financial, consulting — spend hours on client onboarding, contract generation, proposal writing, and CRM hygiene.
These are all automation opportunities. Most founders here don't have six figures to spend on a dev shop, and they don't want to hire a full-time engineer for a workflow problem. They need someone to fund the build, implement it into their actual operations, and share the risk. That's what we do. We deploy capital into the technical work — agent design, API integration, testing, iteration — and recover it as the system produces value.
We write a check to fund the AI and automation work: agent development, workflow mapping, tool integration, testing cycles, documentation, and ongoing tuning. You stay focused on running the business. No equity exchange. No monthly retainer. Instead, we take a share of incremental revenue over the next 24 months. If the automation drives efficiency gains that lead to more capacity, better conversion, faster cycle times, or cost reduction that shows up in the P&L, we participate in that upside. If it doesn't perform, we don't get paid. This structure works in Orange because the businesses here are profitable and operationally mature enough to measure what changes when a system gets better.
Yes. We design systems that respect data privacy and regulatory requirements. If you're a healthcare provider in Orange, we work within your IT and compliance frameworks, not around them. The agent stays in your environment; we fund the build and integration work.
We fund our team's time: the strategist mapping your workflow, the engineer building the agent, the integration work connecting it to your CRM or billing system, testing, iteration, documentation, and ongoing tuning for 24 months. You don't pay us upfront. We recover through revenue share once the system is live and producing results.
Yes. We've built lead nurture sequences, proposal generation workflows, contract routing, and follow-up cadences for consulting and legal practices. If you're spending hours on repetitive client communication or document prep, that's a good automation candidate. We fund the build; you keep the time savings and close rate improvement.
We look at operational metrics that tie to revenue: conversion rates, time-to-close, capacity per employee, cost per transaction, customer lifetime value. For a Chapman-adjacent service business, that might be faster enrollment or higher retention. For a healthcare practice, it's patient throughput and billing cycle time. We define the metric before we start building.
The system is yours. You own the agent, the workflows, the integrations. Our revenue share ends. If you want ongoing tuning or new features, we can structure a follow-on arrangement, but there's no obligation. The original capital deployment is a closed loop.
