Agentic AI as a Margin Expansion Lever Post-Acquisition

I recently sold my last company in the agentic AI space. As part of the deal, I’m helping the acquiring group as their agentic AI innovation arm, and I used that experience to launch a separate company: Applied AI Labs. At Applied AI we work with operator-led SMBs and lower middle-market companies to automate resource-heavy processes, reduce OPEX, and increase EBITDA through agentic AI systems. Think back office, customer ops, scheduling, reporting, lead qualification, internal workflows, etc. We’re already working with a large US services group and have partnered again with one of our previous institutional backers to roll this out across portfolio companies. If you’re acquiring, operating, or holding companies where margin improvement through automation is a priority, happy to connect. www.appliedailabs.ai
