Helping companies build better products, faster, with AI

What we do

AI team acceleration

Many teams are seeing 2–5× gains in individual productivity, but much smaller improvements in product delivery. Turning those gains into faster, sustained delivery requires new approaches. We tailor the latest best practices to your team’s needs to help you deliver new capabilities faster.

AI product development

Struggling to start AI-native initiatives? AI-driven development efforts stuck? Short-handed and just need some help? We can accelerate your efforts, from first prototype to a production product your team can own.

Fractional VP / CTO

Senior technology leadership without the full-time hire. Strategy, architecture, hiring, and delivery ownership — as much as you need, for as long as you need it, with the explicit goal of leaving the team humming and self-sufficient.

About

Kevin Stambaugh

Kevin Stambaugh

Founder & AI Lead

I’m Kevin Stambaugh, founder of 12think. I bring more than 30 years of experience leading product and technology teams through growth and industry shifts—from the internet and cloud to mobile and AI. My leadership is supportive, grounded in coaching, and focused on results. I help teams succeed through clarity, trust, and a blend of proven and emerging practices tailored to their needs.

Most recently, I led an AI-first transformation at a growth-stage company, where individual productivity rose 2–5× while team and cross-functional gains lagged. Working through these challenges, and seeing how widespread they are, led me to focus on helping other organizations turn AI’s potential into better product delivery.

Today, I design cooperative AI factory models that unite people, processes, and intelligent agents across the product lifecycle—from discovery and strategy to delivery and continuous improvement.
