2024 in the rearview mirror

As 2024 comes to a close, let’s honor our annual tradition by looking back on the journey so far and celebrating the milestones we've achieved along the way.

Growth in a not-so-easy year

First and foremost, we've passed the 300 successful projects mark, while maintaining turnover growth, profitability, and improving liquidity. This achievement is significant, as profitability and liquidity are essential pillars that secure our business's sustainability and preserve the freedom to forge our own path.

Staying true to our vision

It's gratifying to see that we've sustained our growth while staying true to our founding vision. Our pragmatic approach—while not the most glamorous—has consistently delivered the best results for our customers.

AI boom that leads to a poor signal-to-noise ratio

This year saw tremendous excitement around artificial intelligence—bringing both opportunities and challenges.

The surge in AI interest created an interesting paradox: while it made some conversations more accessible, it also brought a flood of noise from large cohorts of self-proclaimed "experts."

Our measured approach occasionally risked being overlooked in this environment, despite what we feel is the right way to make data work. But we prefer staying true to ourselves and the principles that led us to where we are, rather than participating in the game of who can shout "AI" the loudest.

As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, I expect major tech giants—Google, Meta, OpenAI, Microsoft, Anthropic, and Amazon—to maintain their intensive investment in AI. However, the focus needs to shift from technical specifications toward practical, real-world applications of the technology.

Challenging macro context

Despite these successes, the market remained uncertain, with macroeconomic challenges hampering project execution and slowing decision-making. The widespread market skepticism and caution suggest that 2025 will bring its own set of hurdles.

On to 2025

In 2025, we'll continue building our success on proven approaches and core fundamentals. While maintaining cutting-edge skills, our focus remains crystal clear: solving real problems rather than chasing technology for its own sake. This philosophy has consistently served us well, and it will become even more crucial as we move forward.

Preparing Agilytic for future growth

From an entrepreneurial perspective, we must evolve our operating model to sustain our growth. Systems that worked well for a dozen people now need to scale for a much larger organization. This evolution requires everyone—from founders to managers to team members—to raise their level of performance.

2025 is the year we welcome employee shareholders (finally)

We always envisioned a project where employees could experience equity ownership, as it aligns everyone's interests and provides a rare professional opportunity to become an active shareholder.

It's been a long journey to put all the pieces together, but I am proud to confirm that 2025 will (finally) be the year we welcome our first employee shareholders.

I can’t envision more growth without sound fundamentals found in our entrepreneurial values. Keeping our team in sync in aptitude and attitude is not a “nice to have” — it’s a prerequisite.

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

I often say we've earned the right to be optimistic, but we can't take anything for granted.

While we can be proud of our accomplishments, 2025 will demand continued effort and discipline. Our focus won't be on immediate growth rates as much as strengthening our resilient and efficient operating model for our entrepreneurial venture.

This mindset of pragmatic optimism will be crucial for our talented team as we move forward together.

I am grateful to the entire Agilytic team and excited for what lies ahead in 2025.
