People behind the infrastructure.

Kernavique builds the teams behind AI infrastructure. Advisory, permanent search and contract engineering capacity for the companies building and running it, and domain experts for the labs training the models.

What we do

Advisory, search and contract capacity for AI infrastructure.

Three of our four practices serve the companies building and running AI infrastructure: one plans the team, one hires it permanently and one supplies engineers on contract.

Expertise

Qualified professionals for model training and evaluation

English-law solicitors and barristers, chartered accountants and tax specialists, clinicians, and front-office finance and compliance professionals, for AI labs, vertical-AI builders, and data and evaluation vendors. Vetted, conflict-checked and available per deliverable or as a managed team.
