    About

    Founder-led, end to end

    Founded in Brisbane in 2023 by two mates who kept watching Australian businesses buy software that didn't fit. The people who pitch the work deliver it.

    Who we are

    • Who we are

      Built in Brisbane. Backing Australian business.

      Our mission is to install AI and custom software systems in Australian businesses so they can compete on the global stage.

    • How we work

      Founders in the room, start to finish.

      Jack and Lachlan lead every engagement in person: discovery on-site, working software in front of you every week, and optimisation until the numbers move.

    • What we stand for

      Six things we don't bend on.

      Results over deliverables, built to fit, partner not vendor, founder-led end to end, Australian-first, and working software every week.

    The founders

    In the room, on every job

    Lachlan Kosanic

    Lachlan Kosanic

    Co-founder & Director

    Lachlan leads discovery, strategy and partnerships at PlatformOne. He came from health tech, improving operations inside hospitals, where the gap between overseas-built systems and Australian practice was widest.

    On every engagement he maps how the business really runs, identifies where software and AI will return the most, and sets measurable ROI targets at Discovery. He tracks those targets in production until they're met.

    Jack Pate

    Jack Pate

    Co-founder & Director

    Jack leads architecture and delivery at PlatformOne. A computer scientist who studied at UQ and QUT, he began his career implementing systems for marketing agencies and small businesses.

    He's in the workshop on day one, oversees every build before it ships, and stays on call once a system is live. If PlatformOne has installed a system in your business, Jack has been in the room.

    3. Partner, not vendor

      In your office and alongside your team, start to finish.

    4. Founder-led, end to end

      The founders who scope the work lead its delivery.

    5. Australian-first

      Built for Australian businesses and Australian capability.

    6. Working software, weekly

      A working demo every week from the first sprint.
