Improving

Improving is a modern technology consulting and software development company that positions itself as the trust-driven alternative to an industry it says has conditioned buyers to expect overpromising, understaffing, and scope creep. The firm organizes its expertise around four pillars — Artificial Intelligence, Data, Applications, and Platform — and markets an end-to-end approach that spans strategy, training, agent creation and deployment, machine learning, data pipelines and governance, custom applications, platform engineering, and secure integration. Its stated operating principle is that trust, transparency, and shared success should govern every engagement, an ethos it ties to Conscious Capitalism and to a people-first culture. The company operates as a growing network of more than 20 enterprises with over 2,500 employees, whom it calls Improvers, spread across North America, South America, India, and beyond. Its global delivery footprint covers 21 offices in seven countries and three continents. Improving reports an NPS of 90+ among enterprise clients, an average partnership length of 7.5 years, and relationships with 28 of the world's largest enterprises. Its service lines include AI strategy and planning, AI training and enablement, agent creation and deployment, machine learning and data, real-time data and lakehouse modernization, analytics, custom applications, platform engineering, and secure integration, alongside a substantial training business offering certification courses, AI workshops, labs, technical training, and team training. Beyond consulting, Improving runs community and ecosystem programs. It produces CodeLaunch, a traveling seed accelerator that pairs early-stage tech startups with professional software development teams and has awarded over $1M in services to finalists and winners since 2013, taking no equity and charging no fee. It also hosts Improving Talks, a weekly knowledge-sharing series, and opens its office spaces to local user groups. The company has been recognized multiple times as a Best Place to Work and for outstanding employee experience. Curtis Hite serves as Chief Executive Officer. Improving is privately held and is not listed on a public stock exchange.

Improving was founded in 2007 and has grown into a transnational technology consultancy organized as a network of more than 20 enterprises with over 2,500 employees, known internally as Improvers. From its base in the United States, the company expanded its delivery footprint across North America, South America, India, and beyond, reaching 21 offices in seven countries and three continents. Its growth has been tied to a consulting model built on long-term client partnerships rather than discrete projects, an approach the company says yields an average partnership length of 7.5 years and an NPS of 90+ among enterprise clients, with 28 of the world's largest enterprises counted among its customers. Over time Improving broadened its service portfolio from software development and agile consulting into a four-pillar offering spanning Artificial Intelligence, Data, Applications, and Platform. It developed an AI Maturity Model — described as an eight-stage IOS model — to structure engagements from first strategy through full production, covering AI strategy and planning, training and enablement, agent creation and deployment, and machine learning on proprietary data. Its data practice focuses on real-time data, lakehouse modernization, and analytics, while its applications and platform work covers custom applications, platform engineering, and secure integration. A significant part of Improving's identity is its community and ecosystem activity. Since 2013 it has produced CodeLaunch, a traveling seed accelerator that pairs early-stage tech startups with professional software development teams to accelerate their path to MVP and seed funding. CodeLaunch charges no fee and takes no equity, and has awarded over $1M in services to finalists and overall winners. The company also runs Improving Talks, a weekly thought-leadership series led by Improvers, and opens its offices to local user groups for continuous learning. These programs are framed as expressions of Conscious Capitalism, which Improving champions as a way to positively impact employees, clients, and communities. The company has been recognized multiple times as a Best Place to Work and for outstanding employee experience, reinforcing its people-first positioning. Curtis Hite serves as Chief Executive Officer. Improving remains privately held and is not listed on a public stock exchange.
