Ateklo launches Intangible Partners to build deep-tech support infrastructure hero

PORTLAND, ME., November 13, 2025 -- Ateklo Inc., a deep-tech venture-building corporation, today unveiled its first spinout company, Intangible Partners -- designed to help businesses in legacy industries, growing startups, and private equity funds turn artificial intelligence from a costly experiment into a reliable, measurable driver of performance.

Intangible Partners is a disciplined, human-first, forward-deployed, AI-native venture built to accelerate deep-tech and the industries that power it — such as manufacturing, finance, and other key sectors. Intangible emerges from stealth with an investment commitment from Ateklo Inc. to fully fund the spin out and support its long-term growth.

At Ateklo, our goal is to create a ecosystem of companies that not only push the boundaries of technological advancement across industry, but also provide the infrastructure to support the companies at the frontiers of science.
Justin Hafner, Co-Founder of Intangible Partners, Founder & CEO of Ateklo Inc.

“Intangible has made deployed intelligence, individualized for each unique business, highly accessible, regardless of the complexity of their operations or existing technology.” Hafner went on to say, “Launching Intangible as our first company is a signal of conviction around the ability of effective AI implementation to drive real value for deep-tech and the industries that support it. We believe the next wave of AI adoption will be from Main Street rather than Wall Street and Intangible is positioned to become the infrastructure to enable that.”

Why Now

Across the country, business leaders are being told that AI will transform their operations. The data suggests a harder truth. A recent MIT report found that around 95% of enterprise generative AI initiatives deliver no measurable financial return, with success concentrated among a small group of highly technical organizations. For most companies, especially those outside major tech hubs, AI remains a costly experiment with significant risk rather than a source of competitive advantage.

What Intangible Partners Delivers

Intangible has flipped this reality. The company is currently growing revenue and is achieving 100% measurable positive ROI across its initial customers, demonstrating that AI can be both practical and profitable for businesses of any size. By bridging the gap between theory and execution, Intangible transforms one of the most promising technologies humanity has ever created into real, repeatable business results. Current company outcomes include:

  • Up to 60% time reduction in “back-office” task completion
  • 4x ROI from cost savings in deployed use cases.
  • 6x increase in lead generation and qualification.

Leadership

Intangible Partners will be led by Arshdeep Ghuman, who brings deep execution experience at the intersection of enterprise systems and AI. A former Accenture consultant, Arshdeep has led custom software deployments, global supply chain automation, and served as an AI product engineer, developing and deploying systems that accelerate software innovation. His expertise embodies Intangible's core philosophy: disciplined implementation, clear ROI, and zero friction.

“We built Intangible Partners because most organizations don't need another AI prototype; they need systems that drive measurable business outcomes”...“We are taking a forward-deployed approach and focusing on integrating intelligence where work actually happens, including within operations, workflows, and decision loops, to deliver results that are repeatable, accountable, and financially meaningful.”
Arshdeep Ghuman, Co-Founder & President of Intangible Partners
