The challenge
UpKeep wanted to expand beyond its core product and prepare for a private equity transaction. We helped change how the company organized its product team and built software so it could pursue more opportunities with shorter development cycles.
Our work
Reorganize the product team
We helped move the team into smaller product pods with clear ownership, bringing product decisions and implementation closer together.
Make AI part of how products are built
We put coding agents and the tools teams use to direct and review them into the development process, helping teams move from an idea to working software more quickly.
Turn development capacity into business expansion
The new way of working helped UpKeep launch environmental health and safety (EHS), Fleet, and learning management (LMS) business lines in a single year.
The result
UpKeep became a faster-moving, multi-product business with an AI-native approach to product development. In May 2026, the company announced a strategic growth investment from Accel-KKR to support its continued expansion.
