    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

    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.

    The founders

    In the room, on every job

    Lachlan Kosanic

    Co-founder · Discovery & Optimisation

    Lachlan Kosanic

    Lachlan came from health tech, optimising operations inside hospitals, where the gap between overseas systems and Australian reality was widest.

    He leads discovery and optimisation: mapping the real workflows, finding the leverage, and staying engaged until the system is producing return in the client's numbers.

    From health tech he brought a habit of measuring everything: every engagement gets ROI targets at Discovery, and he tracks them in production until they're hit.

    Jack Pate

    Co-founder · Architecture & Delivery

    Jack Pate

    Jack is a computer scientist who spent his early career implementing systems for marketing agencies and small businesses, watching good operators buy software that never fit how they worked.

    At PlatformOne he leads architecture and delivery: the workshops, the build, the go-live. If we've installed a system in your business, Jack has been in the room.

    He's hands-on by default: in the workshop on day one, across every build before it ships, and on the phone when something needs sorting, whatever the hour.

    Values

    What we stand for

    We think Australian businesses can out-operate anyone. With the right system installed, a 100-person team competes like a 1,000-person one, on the global stage, not just the local market.

    That's what we're here to build. And we back ourselves to deliver it better than any company in the country.

    1. 01

      Results over deliverables

      We're paid to move your numbers, not to ship features. The engagement isn't finished until the return is real.

    2. 02

      Built to fit

      Every business is shaped differently. We build around the workflow, never retrofit a template.

    3. 03

      Partner, not vendor

      We're in your office, in the build, in the journey from A to Z.

    4. 04

      Founder-led, end to end

      The people who pitch the work deliver it. Nothing handed off, nothing outsourced.

    5. 05

      Australian-first

      Built to serve Australian businesses and strengthen Australian sovereign capability.

    6. 06

      Working software, weekly

      A demo every week from the first sprint. You watch the system take shape, never wait for a reveal.
