Outcome Ownership
Built with industry-leading infrastructure
Our clients include startups from the portfolio of Science VC — the Los Angeles-based venture firm behind brands like Liquid Death. We build AI infrastructure for high-growth software and D2C startups, including Sorted and Final Boss Sour.
Infrastructure Quick Wins
Most businesses are running AI experiments. We build AI operations.
Everyone's buying AI tools. Nobody's building the infrastructure to run them. There's no operations layer. No system architecture. No one managing it when something breaks. That's what Echelon does.
Client Intake & Onboarding
8–12 hrs/weekAI reads incoming forms, creates CRM records, sends welcome sequences, and schedules kickoff calls — no human touches the process.
Invoice & Payment Follow-Up
5–8 hrs/weekOverdue invoices trigger automated escalation — friendly reminders, payment links, and escalation alerts to your team only when needed.
Lead Response & Qualification
10–15 hrs/weekEvery inbound lead gets a personalized response within 60 seconds, qualified against your ICP, and routed to the right rep or sequence.
Support Ticket Triage
12–20 hrs/weekAI reads incoming tickets, categorizes by urgency, drafts responses for tier-1 issues, and escalates complex cases with full context.
Report Generation & Data Entry
6–10 hrs/weekWeekly reports, client dashboards, and CRM updates are generated automatically from your existing data sources — no copy-pasting.
Appointment Scheduling & Reminders
4–8 hrs/weekAI handles booking, rescheduling, no-show follow-up, and pre-visit preparation — patients and clients arrive ready.
These are just the quick wins. The full 90-Day Infrastructure Sprint builds systems that compound over time.
