About Us

Meet the dreamers, incubators, and scalers that make our platforms go.

Your partner in innovation. At BrainGu, we're passionate about transforming technology. We specialize in cutting-edge DevSecOps platforms and mission-critical applications, putting developers at the forefront. Our objective is clear: we empower operators and mission owners to conquer complex challenges. We believe in a human-centered approach to incubating and scaling technologies that tackle real-world problems.

Our Story

11 years in the making.

We had a dream. We knew there was a better way to run a business. Through passion and compassion, energy and empathy, caring about our employees, customers, and community in equal measure. Our true north lies in our Core Values; "Change the Box," "Live with Passion," and "Focus on Community."

Passionate about evolving technologies and creating solutions that help make workflows easier to manage, we launched BrainGu.

Our objective is to help our customers journey from automation to innovation. Automation lessens the workload on the human operators and end-users. Innovation revolutionizes how they achieve their goals.

Teams need better tooling and processes to get repeatability and scale to their solutions. At BrainGu, we create capabilities that help them succeed. Not everything we create is revolutionary, but everything we make allows someone to "Do it Better" regardless of the specific problem domain. Incremental improvements implemented at the speed of relevancy enable us to evolve the solutions we develop to our customer's changing needs in real-time.

Core Values

Gu dedicate the time, abilities, and resources needed to focus on their chosen communities, changing them for the better through intention and execution.

The adage “think outside the box” assumes that all previous attempts at solving a problem that weren’t 100% successful are useless and that wholesale change is the only answer. At BrainGu, we believe that every bit of progress toward a solution is valuable. Our approach is to thoroughly evaluate the situation, identify its strengths and weaknesses, and then optimize those strengths to create a path forward.

We believe that separating work from life limits our potential for growth and self-expression. That's why we strive to create an environment that fosters self-actualization and encourages creativity and talent.
