Our mission is to fuel a mid-market boom.
For AI to be a force for good, its gains need to reach the companies, people and communities in the middle of the economy.

Overflow, the community of AI builders we run in Austin.
Our projects are led by people who have run teams and can write software.
We call them operator-engineers. They have managed people or a P&L, so they know what is worth building, and they can build it themselves.
Writing the software is often the easiest part. The harder work is earning trust, changing habits and getting the new system used, so we stay close until it becomes part of how your company runs.
You work directly with the people who plan and build your system.
The founders set the direction with you, and an operator-engineer owns the build, calling in specialists from our bench when the work needs them.

If you lead teams and write software, come talk to us.
Everyone joins the bench the same way, with real work in place of a long interview loop. The work is fully remote.
.01
Show us how you work
Send a portfolio, a repo, a memo or a short video. It tells us more than a polished resume.
.02
Do one paid project
When there is a fit, we start with paid client work, because real work is the clearest interview.
.03
Take on more
Strong fits get more responsibility, longer projects and, when the timing is right, a talk about full-time work.
