Jetpack Labs

A product design and engineering studio that builds AI-powered software for real-world business results.

We help startups, mid-market operators, and established organizations automate what matters most, focusing on ROI and practical outcomes instead of hype. Founded in 2022, we operate with co-headquarters in Vancouver, BC and Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, with a distributed team of 20–30 senior engineers, designers, and product leaders across North America and internationally.

Why Jetpack Labs

Our Core Belief

We don't chase trends. We solve problems: clean code, smart automation, and measurable ROI.

AI should simplify work, not complicate it. Every system Jetpack Labs builds keeps a human in the loop, ensuring AI enhances rather than replaces expert judgment.

What Sets Us Apart

Operators, not Consultants: Founded by people who've built, scaled, and exited real startups
End-to-End Delivery: Strategy, design, development, and growth all under one roof
Vertical Expertise: Reusable playbooks for manufacturing, property management, education, auctions
Proof Before Scale: Every engagement starts small and proves ROI before expanding
Owner's Mindset: We protect budgets, eliminate waste, and chase ROI obsessively

Core Values in Action

Outcomes over Output - business impact beats feature count
Radical Clarity - clear goals, clear scope, clear communication
Craft & Care - thoughtful UX, clean code, reliable infrastructure
Default to Action - ship small, learn fast, iterate often
Own the Result - treat every client's product like it's our own

What We Do

We offer end-to-end services from discovery through launch and ongoing growth. Our service pillars:

Product Strategy & Discovery

Opportunity mapping, workflow audits, and rapid prototyping to de-risk decisions before building. We diagnose problems first ('doctor before prescription') before prescribing solutions.

UX/UI Design & Research

Research-backed user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity design systems with accessibility and conversion in mind (WCAG-informed).

Full-Stack Engineering

Multi-tenant SaaS, APIs, web and mobile apps. Preferred stacks: Laravel, Vue 3, React, Tailwind, TypeScript, PostgreSQL/MySQL.

AI & Automation

RAG pipelines, copilots, scoped AI agents, OCR-based document intelligence, quoting automation, routing optimization, and workflow orchestration (n8n/Make) - always with human-in-the-loop validation and clear ROI metrics.

Data & Analytics

Our AI Approach & Commitments

Given the critical role AI plays in modern software, we've built principles into every project:

Human-in-the-Loop: AI augments human judgment - we never automate decisions that require expert oversight
Ethical & Transparent: Clear disclosure of AI use, bias awareness, and regular model evaluation
Reliable & Auditable: Guardrails, output validation, and full logging for compliance and debugging
Privacy & Data Minimization: Only train on necessary data - no unauthorized persistence or enrichment
Cost-Aware: Optimize model selection and input handling - transparent cost tracking and budgeting
Failure-Resistant: Graceful degradation if AI services fail - fallback workflows and redundancy

Security & Compliance

We build with security and compliance baked in from day one:

Role-based access control (RBAC) and audit logs
Encryption in transit and at rest
Tenant isolation for multi-tenant SaaS applications
Data minimization and privacy-by-design practices
Config-as-code and least privilege principles
DPA readiness and compliance patterns (GDPR, SOC 2 alignment)
Vendor review, secrets management, and secure infrastructure
