Practical help, close to home.
When you hit a wall, you shouldn't have to climb it alone. TIQC connects founders, nonprofits, and small businesses with student teams, guided by experienced mentors and assisted by AI. They live in the neighborhoods you're trying to serve, and it shows in the work.
Help that meets you where you are
Whether you're adopting AI, building a product, or growing a venture, these services help you take the next concrete step.
AI Strategy
Cut through the noise. We help you separate hype from value and build a realistic plan to put AI to work in your organization, at a pace and a budget that fit.
Technology Consulting
A second set of eyes on your tools, your data, or your roadmap. Student teams do the digging, mentors check the work, and you get plain-language recommendations instead of a jargon report.
Startup Support
From idea to launch. Test your concept on people who look like your customers, refine the model, and get connected to the mentors and partners who can help you grow.
Professional Referrals
Some problems need a licensed professional. When yours does, we say so and connect you with trusted partners across our network. You never leave without a next step.
The Tech Clinic: where ideas get unstuck
Bring your technology, AI, or business challenge. We'll diagnose the problem and recommend the best next step.
How it works
One conversation can save you weeks. A mentor listens and diagnoses. A student team takes on the work, using AI to move fast on the parts that should be fast. If your problem needs a licensed professional, we tell you and refer you out.
Who it's for
Founders, nonprofits, small businesses, and community members facing a technology or business question they can't crack alone.
We're always looking for more people who can help. If you'd like to mentor a student team or take a clinic question in your field, tell us what you do.
