The portfolio
Different fields, one house. Every company is built human-guided and AI-accelerated, with the evidence to show for it.
Production AI stacks for founder-led agencies.
Architects, builds, and ships the AI infrastructure that runs inside your delivery: agents, MCP servers, and the operator layer underneath. Same senior engineer every tier.
A reviewable AI operator for founder-led teams.
Turns recurring operating work into missions with source-linked output, human approval before delivery, and full run history. Reliable operators, not AI toys.
A new model for scientific communication.
A living, AI-built synthesis of the scientific record, reading across papers, preprints, and trials to show where studies agree, conflict, and leave gaps, every claim tiered by evidence and traceable to its source.
A mother-and-son art collective.
Tatyana Markovtsev’s minimalist line art, fashion, digital art, sculpture, and the East–West embroidery collaboration. International reach across 150+ countries.
Psychedelic research & education, made visual.
A source-backed psychedelic evidence system with cinematic neuroscience UX, real-time research aggregation and immersive 3D visualization. Chicago / Haifa.
The AI coffee calibration engine, live in beta.
Tell it your grinder, your machine, and your beans, it conjures the exact recipe to dial them in. A planned mobile app, B2B marketplace, and AI-powered espresso system follow.
Independent SaaS reviews, researched, tested, and judged by three desks.
Independent reviews and rankings of AI sales, marketing, and ops software, researched, tested, and editorially judged. 111 vetted affiliates, zero paid placements.
The thesis
The model is not the moat. The system around it is.
Purple Orange Group is one founder and a set of real companies: an AI product studio, a reviewable operator, a research banner, an art collective, an independent SaaS review desk, and two ventures on the way. One person, and the system that runs all of it.
Seven companies across radically different fields, held to a single standard: human-guided, AI-accelerated, evidence before decoration. We’d rather run a few things we believe in, all the way, than fund a hundred we don’t.
Human-guided. AI-accelerated. Reviewable operators draft the work, attach the sources, and wait for a human to approve before anything ships, the discipline that runs underneath all seven companies.
The Cane Corso guards a named risk on every run, evidence over decoration, never a rubber stamp. Loyal to a fault, suspicious of everything, and very good at his job. You’ll meet him in the demo.
A live Violema mission: request, sources, reviewable card, your approval, delivery. Every run logged with cost evidence.
