Most companies don't need a full-time Chief AI Officer. They need one for part of a week — someone who's actually built the thing before, not a slide deck about it. That's Whimsey. Fractional AI leadership from Bend, Oregon, run by Mike Ulin: three-time AI founder, four industry-first AI products, four U.S. patents, $78M+ raised across his companies, and models that now quietly underwrite $4T+ in assets for major carriers. What the seat covers: a costed AI roadmap, build-vs-buy decisions, vendor vetting, a governance baseline your counsel can sign, and delivery oversight. The technical range runs from RAG and agentic systems to voice AI, machine-learning models, GIS and computer vision — plus sourcing and managing the outsourced teams that build them. Who it's for: AI founders from seed to Series B, law firms adopting AI without the malpractice headlines, private equity firms running diligence on targets and value creation across the portfolio, and any company where proprietary data meets a decision worth automating. Engagements start with a free 30-minute AI strategy session. Bring your roadmap, a vendor's proposal, or the board question that keeps resurfacing — you'll leave with a straight answer either way.
