Our Edge
We've honed our craft over the years with careful research, meticulous data analysis and pragmatic problem-solving, We've built more applications and integrated more systems than we can count. We've learned a lot. Now we apply it all.
Product DNA
We approach AI implementation with the discipline and user-centricity of seasoned product leaders. Our background in building successful digital products means we understand how to translate complex technologies into intuitive solutions that users actually adopt and that deliver measurable business results.
Systems Perspective
While others focus on isolated AI applications, we analyze your entire business ecosystem to identify strategic intervention points. This holistic approach ensures AI solutions integrate seamlessly with existing workflows, address root causes rather than symptoms, and create compounding benefits across the organization.
Practical Innovation
We bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI capabilities and practical business applications. By balancing technological possibilities with implementation realities, we deliver solutions that are ambitious enough to transform your business yet pragmatic enough to implement successfully within real-world constraints.
Our Story
PPFX Labs was born from a simple observation: despite the transformative potential of AI, most businesses struggle to realize its practical benefits.

Our founder, Adriano Blanaru, with 25+ years of experience operating at the intersection of technology and business, recognized that the gap between AI's promise and practical implementation required a new kind of consultancy. Based in Silicon Valley and having built and implemented AI technologies since early 2019, Adriano witnessed firsthand how organizations struggled to translate AI capabilities into business value.

Drawing on extensive experience in early-stage and hypergrowth companies, he assembled a team of experts who share a common vision: AI should deliver tangible business results, not just technological novelty.

We operate as a true laboratory—experimenting, testing, and refining solutions until they deliver measurable impact. As a platform-agnostic consultancy, we often find that the best solution isn't building something new, but rather identifying and implementing the right existing tools for your specific needs.
Team
We have full stack in-house expertise in architecting and deploying AI powered applications across different industries, platforms, and covering a wide range of requirements. We also leverage our vast network of trusted partners: the people and teams we worked with throughout the years, and have been vetted based on their actual ability to deliver quality work.
