About

Echofold was founded from a simple realisation while teaching AI to people: most couldn't get powerful results out of AI, despite its incredible potential. This sparked a mission to bridge that gap.

Rather than leaving people frustrated with underwhelming AI experiences, we wanted to ensure we could teach them how to achieve the same powerful results we were seeing - or provide tools that would allow them to do it themselves. Echofold exists to democratise access to cutting-edge AI technology, making it truly accessible to everyone regardless of their technical background.

After 16 years in corporate IT, specialising in cybersecurity and compliance, Kevin took the leap in September 2024 to create something that could make a real difference. His corporate experience showed him how powerful technology can be when properly implemented, but also how often it fails to reach its potential due to complexity and inaccessibility.

Having run multiple businesses throughout his career, Kevin has learnt from each venture - understanding what works, what doesn't, and most importantly, what people actually need. Now, seeing the incredible results possible with AI when applied correctly, he's driven to bring that same power to everyone else, regardless of their technical background.

His technical expertise and vision have been validated through wins at the National AI Challenge and AWS Breaking Barriers Hackathon, where he built and deployed multi-agent systems under extreme pressure, demonstrating the power of production-ready AI solutions.

Anthony brings a unique perspective to Echofold - from building businesses in construction to now building production-grade AI systems. He understands both operational reality and technical possibility.

His entrepreneurial journey in AI began through Enterprise Ireland's New Frontiers program, where he was building an AI-powered SaaS application and progressing through Phase 1, 2, and 3. It was during this program that he met Kevin, and recognising a shared vision for what AI could achieve, they joined forces to build something bigger together.

The gap between AI hype and production-ready systems has never been wider. While most "AI companies" are stuck building demos and pitching vaporware, Anthony focuses on shipping intelligent systems that solve real problems. At Echofold, he builds alongside Kevin, turning ambitious ideas into deployed products that actually work, combining technical expertise with years of practical business experience.

Our philosophy centres on teaching independence rather than creating dependency. Whilst others build black boxes that keep you reliant on their services, we focus on education, transparency, and empowerment.

We're not consultants; we're builders. We architect and deliver core AI products for ambitious startups, and we're launching our own specialized LLMs and intelligent agents. Our work is grounded in real-world execution.

We're community-first, believing that shared knowledge and collaborative growth create more value than proprietary gatekeeping. Every solution we build is designed to produce real, measurable value with AI - not just impressive demos or flashy features that don't translate to meaningful results. We build production-grade systems that scale, not proof-of-concepts that impress investors but never ship.
