CB Consulting Group is a founder-led AI consultancy for founders, growing businesses and agencies in the US, the UK and worldwide. It is led by Chirag, who has spent 25+ years building software, leading teams and running technology as a CTO. You get that experience directly, from the first conversation to the thing that ships.
Every business I walk into has the same quiet problem: good people spending their best hours on work a system should be doing.
I’ve spent 25+ years in technology. I started as a developer, then led teams, managed projects and products, and went on to serve as a CTO. Along the way I learned that the hard part is rarely the code. It’s knowing what to build, what to leave alone, and how to make it stick with the people who use it every day.
That’s why I started CB Consulting Group. Not to sell software, but to sit beside founders and owners, find where time, money and leads slip away, and fix it with the simplest thing that works. Sometimes that’s an automation. Sometimes it’s an AI agent or a properly built tool. Sometimes it’s just a better decision.
AI has changed what a small team can achieve. Used well, it answers the inquiry at midnight, chases the invoice and writes the report, so your people can do the work only they can do.
Used badly, it’s one more subscription nobody opens. My job is to make sure you get the first kind, built so you own it, understand it and can keep growing with it.
I keep the firm deliberately small. When you work with us, you work with me and with people I have worked alongside for years, not a sales team or a bench of juniors learning on your budget. If something isn’t worth doing, I’ll say so, even when that means you don’t need us.
If you’re building something that matters and you’re tired of technology getting in the way, I’d like to hear from you.
Most consultants have sat in one chair. Chirag has sat in all of them: writing the code, leading the team, owning the roadmap and running technology for the business. That is why the advice is practical and the delivery is realistic.
Four principles that shape every engagement, large or small.
Principle 1
You work with the person who designs and builds the solution, not an account manager passing notes along.
Principle 2
Every recommendation comes with a way to ship it: a prototype, an automation or a working tool.
Principle 3
Documented, handed over and hosted where you choose, so you are never locked in.
Principle 4
If a spreadsheet, a setting you already pay for or a different specialist would serve you better, we’ll tell you, even if that means you don’t need us.
Small, fixed steps with something you can see at the end of each one. You can stop after any step and keep what you have.
Step 1
We talk to the people doing the work, look at the tools you already pay for and map where time, money or leads leak out.
You get: a plain-English map of how work flows today and the problems worth solving.
Step 2
We rank the opportunities by payback and effort, and agree which one goes first. No sprawling program, just a clear order of work.
You get: a short roadmap with costs, timings and the first quick win.
Step 3
We ship in small releases you can try with your team as we go, so feedback shapes the result and nothing arrives as a surprise.
You get: working automations, AI agents or software, documented and in use.
Step 4
We monitor what we built, support your team and pick up the next automation once the first one pays back.
You get: reliable systems, a team that understands them and a clear next step.
Three kinds of client, one way of working: senior, practical and built to last.
A senior technical partner before you hire a CTO. We help you choose the architecture, scope and build the first version, and add the AI features investors ask about without taking on debt you will regret. When you are ready to hire, we help you find and onboard the right people.
For owners whose teams are buried in admin. We automate the repetitive work, connect the CRM, finance and operations tools you already pay for, and put AI where it saves real hours, so growth does not mean hiring for busywork.
A dependable delivery partner for AI, automation and development work, under your brand or alongside it. Senior people, clear estimates and work your clients can rely on, so you can say yes to projects outside your core team.
Tell us what is slowing the business down. We’ll tell you honestly whether AI, automation or software is the fix.
