What Do Fortune 2000 Companies Ask Tenex to Do?

Alex Lieberman says Tenex started as an AI-powered dev shop about 18 months before this conversation, because engineering looked like the canary for AI. His co-founder Arman was already using coding agents while other engineers he knew were still typing into an IDE and not adopting the tools, so the first offer was to speed up an engineering org that had not made the switch.

The buyers changed as the work moved up from startups. About half the customers are now Fortune 2000 companies, and half are mid-market companies doing $100 million to $500 million in revenue. They were not only asking for engineering help. They were asking for AI transformation as a service. The company is 75 people, and about 90% of them are engineers or AI strategists, the technical consultants on the client work.
