Who we are
The analyst stack got AI.
The partner stack got nothing.
alkemy is a product of DevDash Labs, Inc. A small, senior team that ships production software. We started alkemy after fifty-two conversations with senior partners and operators at top consulting firms made it clear.
What we are building
Every organization is a pyramid because grunt work used to be expensive. AI just made it cheap. We are building the operating system for the diamond that remains: senior experts at the top, machines doing the volume work, starting with consulting partners. alkemy is a purpose-built platform to help a consulting partner win deals from their existing relationships. The wedge is a prep packet on any account, generated in two to three minutes, that an analyst would take a week to produce. Current to the latest SEC filing. Actions ranked high, medium, low. Maps the warm path from your firm's global partner stack into the target. Every account gets its own brain that learns from every conversation, signal, and prior pursuit.
Why alkemy
I was a consultant at Roland Berger straight out of college. I spent more weeks reformatting decks than thinking. When I left, I told myself I would build the tool I wished I'd had. Then I started talking to senior partners and realized I had been aimed at the wrong problem. Partners don't lose sleep over slow analysts. They lose sleep over the deal they didn't see coming, the connection they couldn't trace, the meeting they walked into cold. Most AI for consulting is pointed at the wrong buyer. The category compresses billable hours: analyst replacement, deck automation, deep research. Partners block all of it, because every saved hour costs a utilization point, the one number that decides their pay. Partners only buy AI that helps them sell more. Last winter we shipped a productivity tool. Three design partners signed. None used it. We pivoted in February to the partner stack. The conviction has only grown.
Founders
Nitesh Pant
Founder, DevDash Labs Inc.
I grew up on the plains of rural western Nepal, in Dhangadhi, with a backyard farm. By 13 I learned to drive a manual. By 14 I could name every engine part, what it did, and how to fix it. By 15 I was dreaming of getting into all eight Ivies after reading a BBC piece about another kid who had done it. None of my teachers in Dhangadhi knew about the Ivy League or the SATs, so I travelled to Kathmandu and bought my own books. By 17 I could interpret CAD drawings, source materials on credit, and lead construction crews for RCC buildings. At 18, I only got into Dartmouth.

LinkedInHow we know each other
Tilak and I have known each other for eight years. We are brothers-in-law. We met in Norwalk, Connecticut in 2018 when I was in college. I would visit his apartment for festivals, and we would talk economics, politics, and a bit of tech.
