ABOUT
US
We've always been intrigued by cutting edge technology, but it's great people that make great things.
We set the bar high and strive for excellence, working with a network of phenomenally skilled professionals.
ANGLO-UKRAINIAN AI RESEARCH LAB
Our founders Charles and Mykhailo have been building software and businesses for more than 15 years, and doing so together for more than a decade. They met at a startup event in Copenhagen in 2013 whilst both expats, but it wasn't until a dinner in Mykhailo's hometown of Kyiv in 2019 that they would land on the idea behind Osinto.
The company launched the following year, entirely self-funded, building a prototype 'knowledge graph' SaaS product. The next few years would prove tough - weathering the dual storms of a pandemic and full-scale war - but adversity breeds resilience.
Now a fully fledged AI Research & Development lab they work with an incredible and growing network of collaborators in the UK and Ukraine - striving to match the best in human intelligence with cutting edge machine learning.
OUR FOUNDERS
CHARLES OSBORNE
Charles [LinkedIn] first worked with Natural Language Processing (NLP) as far back as 2007 - helping train machine learning algorithms to detect sentiment in social media posts.
Since then he's worked for the UK Foreign Office, co-founded seven startups and worked for family offices and investment funds across sectors as diverse as tech, finance, renewable energy and aerospace.
Most recently he's been consulting on AI compute projects within the data centre market, spec'ing out H100 clusters with the likes of NVIDIA and SuperMicro.
With 15+ years of sales, marketing and analyst experience and several years working as a freelance technology scout, Charles sets the vision and direction for the business and handles most things that don't involve code.
He oversees our Research, Intelligence and Advisory activities from the UK and is still a hands-on analyst and researcher.
MYKHAILO BEVZ
Mykhailo 'Mike' Bevz [LinkedIn] leads on all our technical operations from Kyiv, Ukraine where he oversees our prototyping, development and MLOps division.
With more than 15 years of DevOps, MLOps, cloud architecture and software development experience he is both hands-on developer and experienced manager of distributed teams on pan-European projects.
A computer language polyglot Mykhailo's production NLP and NLG experience sits atop a formidable foundation of truly 'full stack' software and infrastructure experience spanning:
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform) | AWS, Azure, GCP, private cloud
- Containers (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Android (Gradle, Java) | iOS (Metal, Objective C, Swift)
- C++ | Golang | Java | JavaScript (Node.js, React, Vue.js) | Python | Ruby | Scala
- NoSQL (Mongo, Neo4J, Redis)
- RTC (FreeSWITCH, Kamailio, SIP, WebRTC)

Our founders - Charles and Mykhailo - first meet at a startup event in the old Nokia HQ in Copenhagen, and work on a hyperlocal news product
Their first 'proper' venture as co-founders is 'CarFwd' - an online marketplace for used cars - which dies a (mercifully) quick death!
Osinto launches - focusing on market intelligence for the electric aviation industry through Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) - development starts on prototype knowledge graph
Rolls-Royce sign a 12-month deal as our first retained SaaS client for the 'Cloud Empire' knowledge graph platform | Pre-seed fundraising commences | Seven weeks later there's a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which changes our plans...
Team re-focuses on deep learning / artificial intelligence | Projects for private clients focus on development of 'AI ready' data centre infrastructure, open source Large Language Models (LLMs), computer vision and autonomous navigation
Osinto re-launches as 'The Artificial Intelligence Agency' - your partner for AI R&D, prototyping, research and intelligence
OUR NETWORK
We work with a skilled, entrepreneurial network of collaborators. Each and every member brings not only unique expertise but also a broad network of contacts and hard-won professional reputation.
We're based in the UK and Ukraine and have diverse backgrounds - covering everything from ecology and offshore engineering to diplomacy and Chinese Literature. We consider this diversity and flexibility a huge advantage - enabling not only wide market access across industries and geographies, but also an unusually broad and rational perspective to analysing problems and providing unbiased business advice.
See how we leverage our network's unfair advantages in our 'Labs' projects here . We are always on the lookout for new network members, funders and corporate collaborators - get in touch with us here if you're interested in working with us.
