About

We fix the company,
not just the tools.

We started Compression because every other firm was dropping agents into companies that couldn't use them. We work on one problem: the gap between what AI can do and what your company actually lets it do. Close it, and your people start doing work that used to be out of reach.

What we believe

The company is the constraint. Not the model.

Not the tools. Not the talent. It's the shape of who decides what, how work actually flows, the roles no machine can read, the data that does and doesn't move between systems, the rules that live in three people's heads and nowhere else. That is the ceiling on what any agent can do inside your company. Lift it, and the company becomes legible to its own agents. Leave it, and every AI investment underperforms.

This is your bandwidth deficit. It's the only thing we work on.

The team

Operators from the frontier, not a slide deck.

Senior people who built and scaled some of the hardest-to-explain infrastructure in crypto, AI, and privacy.

Founders

Mikyö Clark

Narrative & the executive relationship

Led community at EigenLayer and marketing at Ritual, two of the most technically demanding launches in crypto infrastructure. Recently built go-to-market for cryptographic AI security at Inversed. Owns the relationship and the story, from first conversation to deployed agent.

Kyle Weiss

The intelligence layer

Executive Director of the Gitcoin Foundation from 2022 to 2024, and before that its COO and Chief of Staff. Co-founder of the Colorado Product Foundation. Recently Head of Strategy at the Holonym Foundation, where the knowledge-base method behind Compression started. Builds the living, queryable atlas your agents run on.

Ryan Van Sickle

The instruments

Designs the Compression Scale, the diagnostic frameworks, and the agent-native delivery system. Worked on threshold cryptography for DeFi and digital identity. Thinks in systems, builds in layers.

Delivery

Taylor Arnold

Research & AI fluency

Runs the Agentic Intelligence Research Program and the practitioner interviews underneath every engagement. A longtime organizer in the MetaCartel and broader crypto-community world. Builds the academy that turns leadership ambition into operational fluency.

Jeremias Pedreira

Engagement lead

Runs the engagement machinery: sprint cadence, deliverable production, the discipline that lands the audit on time with the answer in hand. Engagement lead on AgroPago.

Research

The Agentic Intelligence Research Program

In the field

Fifty interviews across two tracks: Frontier, the born-agentic operators, and Enterprise, the legacy-transformation leaders. Publishing State of the Bandwidth Deficit in Q3 2026.

The question we open with

"What does your company understand that is genuinely hard to understand, and is that understanding getting deeper every day?"
We hold ourselves to it as much as we hold our clients to it.

Find the deep understanding. Build the infrastructure around it. That is the work.

One problem. We'd like to look at yours.
