Global Private Equity Firm

AI Proof of Concepts Across a $150B+ Portfolio

The Scenario

A global PE firm with +$150B AUM spanning logistics, healthcare, technology, and financial services. As portfolio companies integrate AI into operations, the firm needs a partner that moves fast, validates with real builds, and deploys the engineers needed to scale.

Rather than waiting months for a legacy consultancy proposal, Elios embeds directly with portfolio company teams to validate AI use cases, build working proofs of concept, and deploy the engineers needed to scale. Roles placed include AI/ML Engineers, Data Engineers, Solution Architects, and Prompt Engineers.

The Elios Approach

Elios serves as the go-to partner for AI proof of concept builds and specialized people across the portfolio

Direct embed with portfolio company teams, no discovery phase overhead

Validated AI use cases through working builds, not slide decks

Deployed cross-functional teams: AI/ML Engineers, Data Engineers, Solution Architects, Prompt Engineers

Timeline

The firm identified the need for a partner who could move at PE velocity, validating AI use cases with working builds rather than months of consultancy scoping.

Agentic Operations Platform: AI agent platform that interprets inbound requests, triggers internal workflows, and routes to resolution automatically. Deployed with AI Engineers and Prompt Engineers.

Intelligent Form Automation (80%+ reduction in manual data entry), In-App Agent Assistant (contextual AI guidance), and Workflow Automation Suite (business system integration across the full process).
