Built to
Deliver

Coffman Innovations is a founder-led AI automation and consulting firm. We help businesses implement practical AI systems that reduce manual work, improve operations, and create real competitive leverage.

"The game has changed. Technology that was previously locked behind enterprise budgets is now available to small business. We bring this tech to your business, customized to work for you."

Jake Coffman

What We Stand For

Coffman Innovations was built out of a simple observation: the AI market has lofty promises and is full of vendors selling subscriptions and generic platforms, but short on practitioners who can implement solutions that actually work for real businesses.

Honesty First

If automation isn't the right answer for a particular problem, we'll say so. If a vendor's tool is better than what we'd build, we'll tell you that too. Our reputation is worth more than a quick buck.

Results Over Deliverables

We measure success the way our clients do — in time saved, costs reduced, and revenue generated. Not in documents delivered or hours billed. If it doesn't move the needle, it doesn't count.

Speed Without Shortcuts

We move fast because we've built these systems before. But we never sacrifice quality, security, or maintainability to hit a deadline. Fast and right — not fast and broken.

Built to Last

The systems we build are designed for durability, not quick outcomes. We'd rather build something that compounds over time than something that looks impressive for one quarter. We're in this for the long haul.

Who You're Working With

Practitioner first. Everything Coffman Innovations recommends has already been built, shipped, and defended at a scale most vendors have only read about. We've been there, done that, and we're ready to bring that experience to your business.

How We Got Here

Coffman Innovations was founded by Jake Coffman after more than a decade building and scaling product organizations inside high-growth software companies. The pattern was the same: the winning companies weren't the ones with the flashiest demo — they were the ones who solved real customer problems and had the operational discipline to launch a solution, govern it, and manage costs responsibly.

That's the gap Coffman Innovations exists to fill. Most growing businesses don't have access to a NASDAQ-caliber product organization, or the years it takes to build one internally — but they still need the same discipline: strategy, systems people actually use, and AI implemented usefully and responsibly instead of bolted on for a headline. Every engagement starts from that same standard, whether the client is automating their first workflow, building out AI infrastructure or expanding from a previous project. Dream big, lets build it!

2012
The Ground Floor

Started in support services at Tampa-based software company ConnectWise, working directly with thousands of small business customers while learning firsthand how growing software companies actually operate.

2018
Scaling Through a $1.5B Acquisition

As Director of Product, built and led a 60-person product & engineering organization behind a $150M ARR platform, steering it through ConnectWise's $1.5B acquisition by Thoma Bravo.

2022
Leading AI at a Public Company

At NASDAQ-listed TechTarget, led the strategy, governance, and launch of the company's first AI product, IntentMail AI — generating $14M in first-year ARR and a 95% improvement in long term user retention.

Today
Founding Coffman Innovations

After most recently leading a 0→1 AI platform launch at a Series B FinTech company, Exactera, Jake founded Coffman Innovations to bring that same enterprise-grade AI product discipline directly to growing businesses.
