We're re-engineering IT services for the AI era.

Consulting rigor over guesswork.
Engineering execution over slide decks.
Measurable outcomes in 30 days — not 30 weeks.

Our Mission

Traditional IT services are built on layers — layers of process, layers of management, layers of delay. We stripped all of that out. At realfast, AI handles the repetitive work while our people focus on architecture, strategy, and solving hard problems — in direct collaboration with you. We only hire the best, because AI-native delivery demands the best humans in the loop. The result: faster iterations, higher quality, and a partnership that actually feels like one.

Our Founders

Ex-McKinsey strategy. Ex-GoJek engineering. Built to ship.

Our founders bring management consulting from McKinsey, engineering that scaled GoJek to 7 million daily orders, and large-scale services delivery from ThoughtWorks. realfast exists because they got tired of the gap between strategy and execution.

Our Secret Sauce

The Exo Platform

We adopt every new AI tool the day it ships, absorb the integration pain, and extract the performance gains — so you don't have to. Exo is how we do it: our proprietary, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliant platform that instruments every workflow for full observability.

The result: the latest breakthroughs in AI velocity and quality reach your project as they happen, not quarters later.

Our Approach

We're not a consultancy using AI tools. We're an AI-native IT services company that works with you, not at you. AI amplifies expertise. It doesn't replace it. That means:

Production-grade reliability: 95%+ accuracy on real projects, not demos

Systematic AI integration across the entire delivery lifecycle

End-to-end ownership of client outcomes, no handoffs or internal politics

Enterprise quality at startup velocity

Exceptional people with AI leverage outdeliver traditional consulting teams 3-5x their size. Our first 18 months prove it.

Backed by industry leaders

Our investors include highly accomplished VC firms and world's most exceptional IT Service Enterprise CXOs and founders

Join Us

We're hiring exceptional consultants, forward-deployed engineers, AI engineers, and operators who want to build the future of professional services.

You'll thrive here if:

You see AI as leverage, not a threat
You want ownership, not a clearly defined job description with neat boundaries
You get energy from shipping production code and solving hard problems
Rapid change sounds exciting, not stressful
You'd rather work with a small team of A-players than a large team of "adequate"

This isn't for everyone.

We hire slowly and expect a lot. There are no layers of management between you and clients. That level of visibility isn't comfortable for everyone. But it's intentional. If it sounds like your kind of environment, let's talk.
