# AI Survivors

> AI Survivors helps small and medium-sized businesses survive and thrive in the AI era by designing practical AI systems, automation workflows, and training programs.

AI Survivors is a Dutch AI consultancy founded by Mitchell van Rijkom. We guide SMBs through three phases of AI maturation: Survive (quick wins), Grow (scale what works), and Thrive (compliance and long-term resilience). We build modular, measurable systems — not just slides.
