Our story
Meld was born from a simple observation: the gap between what AI can do and what most agencies deliver is massive. Traditional shops are slow, expensive, and treat AI as an afterthought. We built Meld to be different — an AI-native company from day one.
As Brazilian-Americans with deep roots in both Tampa and Sao Paulo, we bring a unique perspective: Fortune 10 engineering discipline, startup speed, and native fluency across cultures and languages.
Built with the best tools
We leverage cutting-edge AI models, modern frameworks, and enterprise-grade infrastructure to deliver exceptional results.
