# Pacific Software Ventures (PSV)

> PSV is a selective AI engineering firm that builds and operates custom AI employees for operations-intensive businesses in commercial real estate, private equity, and financial services. PSV is a long-term technical partner, not a project vendor: we design, ship, and run production AI employees on the client's data, in their tools, with their workflows.

CRE AI (commercial real estate AI) is artificial intelligence applied to commercial real estate work: deal sourcing, underwriting, offering memorandum review, investment committee memos, and LP reporting, grounded in a firm's own deal files and rules rather than general knowledge. PSV builds CRE AI on Claude by Anthropic. Definition and workflows: https://pacificsoftwareventures.com/cre-ai

Founders: Aidan Scudder, Zed Truong, Gedeon Baende. Background: PGIM, Goldman Sachs, AWS, Meketa, Kochava, Voit.

## What we build

- [Custom AI Employees](https://pacificsoftwareventures.com/): Production AI workers that source deals, underwrite, draft IC memos, run asset management, and produce investor reporting inside the client's own tools and templates.
- [Custom AI Systems](https://pacificsoftwareventures.com/): Internal Q&A, document search, and Claude/GPT deployments tailored to the firm's data and workflows.
- [AI Consulting and Strategy](https://pacificsoftwareventures.com/): Audit, roadmap, and advisory for firms deciding where AI fits in their operations.
- [Enterprise AI for Institutional CRE](https://pacificsoftwareventures.com/enterprise): PSV trains the whole firm on Claude and ChatGPT (PSV-led enterprise AI training, on-site or remote), then builds agents inside the client's own environment with full ownership handoff. The self-serve alternative for individuals is the CRE AI Institute.

## The CRE AI Institute

- [The CRE AI Institute](https://pacificsoftwareventures.com/institute): The "AI MBA" for commercial real estate. A 30-day program and private community that teaches CRE operators to run their work AI-native, built by PSV. Members build working AI workflows on their own deals: sourcing, underwriting, IC memos, BOVs, OMs, rent roll and T-12 abstraction, and LP reporting. No coding or prior AI experience required; first working workflow runs in week one. Self-paced curriculum (9 courses, 95 lessons) plus weekly live office hours and workshops, live deal clinics, a prompt library, a tool database, a resource vault, and the Desert Grove practice deal with answer keys, inside a vetted community of practicing CRE professionals. Two certificates: AI Fluency and AI Operator. Starts with a 7-day free trial. For brokers, acquisitions and investment teams, developers, asset managers, and principals. Founding-member pricing: Founding Standard $69/mo (returns to $99) and Founding Premium $129/mo (returns to $199), each locked for life for early members. 30-day money-back guarantee: build your first working AI workflow in 30 days or get a refund.
