Full spectrum leadership. AI software that matters.

Helping organizations that do good, do better.

Intelligent software and embedded leadership for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations who can't afford to get it wrong.

For two decades we have worked at the frontiers of technology for mission-driven organizations. We offer free tools that solve real problems, embedded teams that deploy and extend them, and long-term engineering partnerships that compound in knowledge over time. Across all three, we ship real solutions for the world's biggest problems.

AI simulators inside prison classrooms

The work we are proudest of: giving incarcerated students real access to frontier models and the workplace tools they will need on the day they come home.

Embedded Teams

The teams we deploy

Senior software developers, product designers, and fractional leaders who embed with your organization and stay until the work is running.
Our Model

Three ways we create impact.

We operate across three interconnected tiers, each one feeding the next. Free tools solve real problems for mission-led organizations. Embedded engagements carry individual organizations into the world of AI. Long-term engineering partnerships compound that knowledge over time.

01 · Give

Free Software

Helpful technology, freely given

We build free, AI-powered tools for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. This is production software that solves real problems for the sector most technology companies ignore.

02 · Embed

Embedded Engagements

Strike teams. Real timelines.

When an organization needs more than a free tool, we embed a small, senior team for a defined engagement: a custom build, a white-label deployment, a fractional executive, a data audit. Six months or less, shipped and handed off.

How we engage
03 · Partner

Long-Term Engineering Partnership

When the build has to last

Some problems aren't sprints. When an organization is building foundational technology that will define its capacity for years, we become a sustained technical partner. Same senior team, compounding domain knowledge, and full accountability to outcomes rather than deliverables.

All five case studies
Confidential research platform
AI Product Development · Confidential Engagement

Building the research platform that didn't exist yet.

A pioneering researcher had a forensic methodology for mapping the causal architecture of complex problems — rigorous, novel, and entirely without software. We built the tool her vision required, then stayed embedded long enough to discover what it actually needed.

Strategic Evolution · Empatico

Positioning Empatico for long-term success.

We stepped in as embedded leadership at a critical inflection point, rebuilding the platform, restructuring the team, and diversifying revenue — turning a struggling post-COVID organization into an acquisition-ready EdTech leader.

Who You Work With

A small team, on purpose.

We keep The Delacorte Group small and senior so that the people you meet on day one are the people who ship your work. There is no bench of junior consultants behind the curtain, and no handoff to a delivery office you have never spoken to.

We work exclusively with education innovators, social impact leaders, and tech-enabled nonprofits. We embed with your team, we stay until the work is running, and then we hand it off clean.

The problem you're facing probably isn't new to us.

We've rebuilt unsustainable platforms, shipped impossible timelines, and built AI tools for environments no one else would touch. If your organization needs a partner who will stay embedded until the work is done, let's talk.
