Fountain Hills, Arizona · For small business owners

On the owner’s side.

I help small businesses integrate their data and information, so the whole company runs more efficiently. QuickBooks, spreadsheets, email and files, connected and put to work with AI. Less time on admin, more time running the business.

What I do

Your business already has the answers. They’re just scattered.

01

Connect your data

Your numbers live in QuickBooks, your customers in email and spreadsheets, your files in Drive. I pull them together into one picture you can trust.

  • A clear map of where your information lives
  • One source of truth for customers, jobs and money
  • A clean-up of the data that trips you up every month
02

Put AI to work on it

With your data connected, AI can do real work for you, in plain English, on your own numbers.

  • Ask questions and get answers from your own data
  • Reports that build themselves instead of eating your Sunday
  • Drafts of quotes, emails and follow-ups, ready for you to check
03

Take work off your plate

The repetitive jobs that eat your evenings get automated, simply and securely, with you in control.

  • Automations for the tasks you repeat every week
  • Access control and your sign-off built in
  • Your team trained to own it after I step back

Underneath all three: a background in cybersecurity and hardware security. Your data stays yours, and I keep it that way.

See it work

Drop your files into the engine.

Emails, spreadsheets, slide decks, PDFs, spread over three different drives. That’s how most small businesses run. Drag a few of these sample files into the engine and see what comes out. AI as an engine, not a chat: it reads everything, connects it, and hands you finished work.

Your files, everywhere

The company and files are made up, and nothing you do here leaves your browser. For your business, the engine runs on the systems you already use, inside your own accounts.

At full scale

WorldLens: the same approach, running on the world’s news.

WorldLens is a live platform I built myself, and it shows what this looks like at full scale. It pulls breaking news, travel advisories, country risk and natural hazards from around the world onto one live globe, and turns them into a briefing you can read in two minutes. For your business it’s the same idea on a smaller scale, built on the systems you already use: QuickBooks, email, spreadsheets and shared drives. No new platform to learn, and your data stays in your accounts.

How it starts

Small first steps, no long proposals.

  1. 1

    Coffee

    An hour, no agenda. You show me where the time goes and where the data lives. I tell you honestly whether I can help.

  2. 2

    One problem, solved

    A small first project with a fixed scope: one report, one automation or one clean-up. You see results before committing to more.

  3. 3

    Keep what works

    Build on what pays off, as a project or ongoing support. I stay on your side until it runs without me.

About

Officer at heart. Technology development by profession.

I’m Bjorn Forsdal. I’m originally from Norway, where I served as an army officer alongside US forces in NATO. For the last 18 years I have worked in the US in venture capital and direct investments, usually on the owner’s side of the table.

I co-founded a venture fund, have helped Norwegian and American companies build and grow in the United States, and have built my own tools to put data to work. Today I help small business owners do the same with their own data. I also work with family offices and private investors.

You work with me directly. When a job needs more hands, such as tax or legal, I bring in a small bench of specialists I have worked with for years and stay accountable for the result. I take on a small number of clients at a time, so each one gets my full attention.

Contact

Now is a great time to start.

The easiest first step is a coffee. I’m in Fountain Hills and happy to come to you anywhere in the Valley, or we can talk by video.
