From startups to global enterprises, built with the same care
SharpQuest started in December 2009 in Troy, Michigan, as AI Software LLC. An automotive forecasting company needed to rebuild its platform, and our founder, Piyush Bhatt, was brought in to design and develop its analytics database and the tools around it.
The project succeeded, and the company was later acquired by IHS; it is now part of S&P Global. That first engagement set the pattern we still follow: take on a business-critical system and build it to last.
Today SharpQuest, Inc. builds web, mobile and AI-enabled software, modernizes older systems, and adds developers to teams that are stretched. Our clients range from startups such as OnTheClock.com, building their first product, to global enterprises such as Western Digital, SanDisk and IHS Markit (now S&P Global).
Every one of them gets the same care and dedication. A startup's first release gets the same team, the same process and the same attention as an enterprise system: clear scope, honest estimates, direct access to the people writing your code, and support long after launch. Clients typically stay with us for a year or more, until their projects are complete, and our longest client relationship is now eight years.

Our values
Always be proactive
We flag risks and ideas early instead of waiting to be asked.
Deliver more than is expected
We aim to leave every system better than the brief asked for.
Do what you say and say what you do
Estimates and dates we commit to are ones we keep, and we tell you early if anything changes.
Communicate, collaborate and cooperate
Regular demos, plain-language updates and direct access to the team.
Add value
