Business Ventures

StellarIQ was founded by a team of technology leaders who have collaborated for over three decades, building $1B+ ventures together. Our founders bring operational expertise from successful exits at Radiant Systems, Blue Cube, and Snap One, where they transformed technology companies through strategic innovation and investing expertise.

As the parent company of AnswerRocket and Max AI, we’ve already deployed generative and agentic AI solutions at AB InBev, Kantar, Suntory Global Spirits, and Cereal Partners Worldwide. Our team recognized that established software companies often struggle to implement meaningful AI strategies despite having valuable data assets and industry expertise.

StellarIQ bridges this gap by combining our investment experience with our technical capabilities and proven AI implementation frameworks.

Successful track record of $1B+ exits

$50M+ invested in AI technology development

30+ enterprise AI implementations at Fortune 2000 companies

Proprietary Max AI platform for accelerated AI deployments
