SHFA.AI Launches to Bring Production AI to Enterprise Teams

NEW YORK — March 26, 2026 — SHFA.AI today announced its launch as a production AI implementation firm serving enterprise teams across financial services, commercial real estate, healthcare, law, and accounting.

Unlike traditional AI consulting firms that deliver strategy documents and proof-of-concept demos, SHFA.AI embeds senior AI engineers directly into client organizations — joining standups, working in client codebases, and shipping production systems.

“The AI consulting model is broken. Companies don't need another slide deck telling them AI is important. They need engineers who understand their business and can put working systems into production. That's what we do.”

First Workflow Live in 30 Days

SHFA.AI's engagement model centers on speed and ownership. The firm scopes a single high-impact workflow in the first week and deploys a production system within 30 days — not a demo, but a working tool the client's team uses daily.

All code, systems, and intellectual property belong to the client from day one. Engagements are month-to-month with no long-term contracts.

Domain Expertise Across Regulated Industries

The SHFA.AI leadership team brings deep experience in the industries they serve:

• Daniel Gofman, President & Chief Implementation Officer, is a CPA and former Barclays CMBS originator who led AI adoption across a major bank's commercial real estate group.
• Michael Abehsera, CTO and Co-Founder, is a Kaggle Top 1% ML Engineer who founded Ratio (backed by CRV and Vela Partners) and previously built AI systems at Motion (YC '20) and Viz.ai.
• Emiliano Mankolli, PhD, Head of Data Science and ML, holds a PhD in Machine Learning from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and is a published researcher in ML optimization.

Early Results

SHFA.AI's initial engagements have delivered measurable outcomes across commercial real estate and asset management, including a 30% efficiency gain across multiple departments and 24 hours saved per week at one engagement, and near-90% query accuracy on large-scale proprietary financial datasets at another.

The firm is currently accepting a limited number of new engagements for Q2 2026.
