Software · AI · Consulting
Fortune 500 engineering, delivered by a Wisconsin shop. We help startups and small to medium businesses build custom software, integrate AI where it actually matters, and automate the operational work slowing them down.
What We Do
From first concept to production, we design and build software tailored to how your business actually works; built the right way the first time.
Beyond the hype: we identify where AI genuinely saves time, cuts errors, or opens up new capability and integrate it into the tools your team already uses. Practical AI, not pilots that never ship.
Every business has busywork quietly draining hours. We map where the time is actually going, automate the repetitive work, and free your team to focus on what grows the business.
Aging software shouldn't hold a growing business back. We migrate, refactor, and modernize the systems you've outgrown without disrupting the work that depends on them running every day.
Software is only as effective as the operations it supports. We work alongside founders and operators to sharpen how the business actually runs, so new tools amplify the work instead of papering over the cracks.
Sometimes the right move isn't writing code yet. We help founders and operators pressure-test their tech direction, evaluate build-vs-buy decisions, audit existing systems, and architect for where the business is going, not just where it is.
Enterprise Capability
Plenty of our work is enterprise-scale. When the engagement needs deeper teams, longer roadmaps, or the kind of complexity that comes with security, compliance, and integration at scale, we step up to it with the same direct, senior-led approach.

In their words
Badger Elite Consulting took our project from a manual process taking weeks to fully automating the application queue including intake, PDF contract generation, back-end processing and logging allowing us to convert 10x as many clients as before in half the time. Delivery came in under budget and 3 months early. Their professionalism and approach were top-notch and gave us a wonderful foundation to build out our business model.
Alex Schwartz and Badger Elite Consulting have been an invaluable resource in helping Growth Chess Center grow from an idea into a thriving business. As a small business owner, there are countless areas where you simply don't know what you don't know, and Alex has consistently helped fill those gaps with thoughtful advice, practical solutions, and a genuine willingness to help going above and beyond. His knowledge and guidance has saved me countless hours and helped me avoid mistakes that many new business owners face. What stands out most is how much Alex genuinely cares about his clients' success. He has always been available to answer questions, offer perspective, and provide support as the Growth Chess Center has continued to expand. Whether you're launching a new venture or looking to take an established business to the next level, I highly recommend Alex and Badger Elite Consulting.
Alex was an absolute pleasure to work with on API and front-end development for a software product at Marine Biologics. Given his extensive expertise in full-stack software development and testing, he skillfully translated our ideal use cases into a lightweight but performant system. He was extremely responsive and transparent with communication, asked lots of detail-oriented questions to ensure what he was building could adapt as the product gained more users, and had a knack for thinking ten steps down the road in terms of security and scale. His extensive documentation and live demos were indispensible for setting us up for the future, too. I strongly recommend hiring Badger Elite Consulting for your next project!
