§ 03 · Track record
What we’ve shipped.
Our track record speaks for itself. We've shipped systems that have saved our clients millions of dollars and hundreds of hours.
§ 01 · Case study
Back-office operations, automated.
Email info extraction, document parsing, browser-driven form filling, and manual data entry - all handed off to agentic workers. One operations team reclaimed fifty hours per week across four task types.
§ 02 · Case study
Fraud detection at scale.
Replaced a heuristic rule stack with a graph-based fraud detector. Prevented roughly $14M in annualized loss within six months of deploy. Still in production.
§ 03 · Case study
Data platform buildout.
Consolidated scattered source systems into a single governed data layer. Now powers daily operations reporting, CRM functionality, and downstream agentic workflows from one source of truth.

§ 04 · Principles
How we operate.
- 01Ownership, not just advice.
We make decisions as if it were our own P&L. Every engagement has a principal who scopes, builds, and answers the phone when you need us.
- 02Results over deliverables.
We don't bill for slide decks. We focus on systems that change how your operation runs. If it doesn't move a number, we don't build it.
- 03Partners, not vendors.
We work alongside your senior team, not underneath a procurement layer. Direct access, honest assessments, no filtered status reports.
- 04Integrity always.
We tell you what we think, not what you want to hear. No hidden risks, no inflated timelines, no selling work we wouldn't buy.
- 05Craft that lasts.
We take pride in engineering that stays in production for years, not months. Clean code, documented handoffs, systems your team can own.
§ 05 · About
Partner-led, by design.
Nullspace Partners works with enterprise teams in manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, CPG, and agriculture to ship applied AI systems that solve specific operational problems.
Every engagement is partner-led: a senior partner scopes the work, builds the solution, and owns the outcome - supported by specialists from the firm’s bench.
The firm is led by Managing Partner Sean Duggan. Before Nullspace, Sean built and scaled operations at DoorDash through IPO and international expansion and led strategy and operations at Parrot AI from fundraising until its acquisition. Sean holds an MS in Management Science & Engineering and BS in Mechanical Engineering, both from Stanford University.
The firm's technical expertise spans LLMs, computer vision, graph-based analytics, and full-stack development. Delivery follows a consulting-then-engineering model - define the problem precisely, then build exactly what’s needed.
