SmartCurrent Information

SmartCurrent is a private AI office for leaders making decisions that actually matter. We work directly with CEOs, boards, investors, founders, and executive teams on applied AI — through advisory, AI training and enablement, selective investment activity with aligned partners, and a curated network of operators, investors, builders, and executives. The work sits where AI intersects with capital, governance, strategy, operating model, technology selection, training, and execution. SmartCurrent helps leaders understand where AI matters, what to do next, which technologies to trust, how to close capability gaps, and how to turn judgment into operating reality. Areas of work include AI strategy, current state assessment, future state vision, gap analysis, roadmap development, operating model design, technology evaluation and selection, board and executive advisory, M&A and investment diligence, AI training, startup support, and curated AI convening. SmartCurrent is not a fund, consulting firm, or events business in the traditional sense. Investment activity is selective, considered case by case, and often evaluated with aligned investment partners. Advisory and training work are principal-led, confidential, and grounded in operating reality. SmartCurrent also connects a substantial real-world AI network through Boston Generative AI Meetup, Boston AI Week, private sessions, executive roundtables, investor conversations, and custom AI gatherings. The network is used selectively where it can create signal, access, validation, or better decisions. SmartCurrent is built and led by Judah Phillips, an operator, investor, founder, AI executive, author, educator, and ecosystem builder based in Boston. His background includes building and exiting an AI SaaS company, enterprise-scale AI execution, board and investor advisory, data and analytics strategy, and large-scale AI convening. SmartCurrent is where serious people go when AI decisions matter.
