Three decades of building before launching Utlyze

1996 · SolutionStream

Jason Thelin and partners launched SolutionStream to build bespoke web apps when “full stack” meant wireframes to deployment.

  • Scaled from three founders to more than 120 product strategists, designers, and engineers.
  • Delivered enterprise systems for finance, healthcare, and public sector clients with zero outsourced work.

2022 · Kahoa

The team rebranded to Kahoa—Hawaiian for partnership—and restructured around multidisciplinary squads able to prototype and launch quickly.

  • Eliminated middle management to let product, design, and engineering collaborate directly with clients.
  • Built practitioner-led AI enablement programs used by Fortune 100 teams.

Today · Utlyze

Kahoa’s venture arm spun out as Utlyze, focused on predicting market gaps and building the private AI agents that fill them.

  • Combines our studio playbooks with on-prem models, observability, and compliance tooling.
  • First venture, Vuplicity, compresses background checks from days to minutes while maintaining 99.9% accuracy.

New venture opportunities

We’re validating agent roadmaps in insurance, manufacturing, and logistics—verticals where on-prem requirements have slowed traditional AI adoption.

We contribute to emerging context protocol and evaluation frameworks to keep the private AI ecosystem interoperable.
