Profit Isle began as a consulting business based on insights from the late Dr. Jonathan Byrnes’s book Islands of Profit in a Sea of Red Ink—and later evolving into an MIT STEX25 tech startup, delivering actionable insights through its robust SaaS platform.
Our team dedicated the last 10 years to integrating advanced AI and machine learning into our platform. In that time, we’ve processed over $600B in revenue and uncovered hundreds of millions of dollars of profit opportunities for our customers.
Deployed on the Google Cloud Platform, Profit Isle is the ideal partner for companies looking to embrace the generative AI ecosystem using their own business data, while driving value to the bottom line in weeks. Our platform transforms underutilized, diverse datasets into coherent data that speaks the language of profit.
We look forward to partnering with you!
