About the firm

A consultancy built by operators, not just engineers.

McCown Consulting works at the seam between complex technology and the people who have to use it. We build custom platforms, implement frontier AI, and advise leadership teams on where technology genuinely moves the business and where it only looks like it does.

Most of our engagements come from the same place: an organization has outgrown the tools holding it together, or it is trying to adopt AI without a clear picture of what that actually means for the way work gets done. We are good at both problems because we have run operations ourselves, not only built software for people who do.

Disciplines we draw on

  • Software engineering
  • Frontier AI and agentic systems
  • Operations and process design
  • Sales enablement
  • Nonprofit and ministry programs
  • Real estate and small business

Jake McCown

Entrepreneur. Builder. Faith-driven. Family-first.

Jake has spent his career building things: software products, marketing strategies, real estate ventures, nonprofit programs, and ministry initiatives. He currently owns and operates three companies, and each one has taught the same lesson from a different angle. Find a real problem, build a practical solution, and put people first.

That range is deliberate. The projects worth taking on tend to require understanding the people involved, not just the technology, whether it is a custom platform with complex third-party integrations or an AI rollout for a team that has never used these tools before.

He spent years in sales enablement at a developer software platform serving more than 20 million monthly visitors, sitting directly between complex technology and the teams who had to use it. That vantage point sharpened the conviction the firm was built on: the best solutions are the ones people feel confident using, not the most sophisticated ones on paper.
