What sets us apart

At Agathon, we combine academic rigour with commercial pragmatism. Founded by Dr Colin Kelly, who holds a PhD in Natural Language Processing from Cambridge and has spent over a decade implementing AI solutions in challenging commercial environments, we understand that successful AI implementation requires more than just technical knowledge.

Our expertise spans from prototyping the latest discoveries in applied AI to architecting LLM pipelines to deliver immediate impact. As active leaders in the field—contributing to AI research, chairing responsible AI initiatives, and guiding early stage companies through multiple funding rounds—we understand both the technical complexities and business realities of AI implementation.
