Why I Founded Vulpes Industries — and What I Believe Will Change in the Next 3 Years

I didn't found Vulpes Industries because there was a gap in the market.

I founded it because what was happening with artificial intelligence seemed simultaneously obvious and ignored — and that creates a window of opportunity that rarely appears twice.

Let me explain.

What I observed

Over the last few years, AI moved from academic curiosity to real infrastructure. Companies around the world began integrating it into their operations — and those who acted early gained disproportionate advantages: lower operating costs, faster decision cycles, more effective teams.

But there was a pattern that bothered me.

This transformation was happening almost exclusively at large companies. At those with engineering departments, dedicated consultants, bottomless budgets. SMBs — which represent over 90% of the European business fabric — were left out. Not for lack of interest, but for lack of access.

The tools were too complex. The consultants, too expensive. The learning curve, too long.

And meanwhile, the competitive gap between companies that had adopted AI and those that hadn't kept growing.

What I decided to do

Build the bridge that was missing.

Not a consulting firm that delivers 80-page reports and disappears. Not a generic software product that promises everything and delivers little.

A company that goes to SMBs, understands their real problems, and builds the systems that put them on the same efficiency level as the world's best — in days, not months.

Vulpes Industries is that.

The name isn't random. The fox is the animal that observes before acting. That adapts strategy to the terrain. That never attacks directly when there's a smarter path. It's always one step ahead.

That's how we work. And it's what we help our clients become.

What I believe will change in the next 3 years

1. Competitive advantage will be measured in systems, not headcount

It's already happening. The companies that win aren't necessarily the ones with the best team — they're the ones with the best systems to amplify the talent they have. AI will accelerate this trend. By 2029, the difference between a company with integrated AI systems and one without will be as obvious as the difference between having the internet and not having it in the year 2000.

2. SMBs that act now will have a lasting advantage

There's a window of opportunity that's closing. Companies that implement AI systems today are building data, processes, and institutional knowledge that their competitors will take years to replicate. It's not about having the best AI model — it's about having the best context to make it useful.

3. The human role will shift — not disappear

There's a lot of fear around this topic. I understand it. But what I observe in practice is different: in companies that implement AI intelligently, people don't lose their jobs. They change roles. They move from executing repetitive tasks to being decision-makers, creators, relationship-builders. And they're significantly more satisfied with their work.

AI doesn't replace what is genuinely human. It frees up space for it.

Why Switzerland

The European base isn't an accident.

Switzerland has one of the highest concentrations of high-value SMBs per capita in the world. It's a conservative market — which means adoption is slower, but also that those who arrive with credibility and concrete results build lasting relationships.

And it's an excellent starting point for a company with global ambitions that wants to be taken seriously.

What I want to build

Vulpes Industries will not be an AI agency.

It will be a reference company in transforming how SMBs operate — with AI as central infrastructure, not as a feature.

In three years, I want any SMB owner in Europe to know there's a way to have the systems that large companies have — accessible, implementable, with results they can measure.
