About Thoth Intelligence

We build the AI infrastructure
that compounds expertise.

Thoth Intelligence is a product company. We build ARK — a multi-pass reasoning platform that runs on infrastructure our customers control, from fully local to full-platform, and turns the expertise of every engagement into reusable capability. One capability at a time. Properly.

The company

Registered in Delaware.
Operated from Germany.

Thoth Intelligence, Inc. is a Delaware C corporation incorporated on April 6, 2026. We chose Delaware for the same reason most technology companies do: a mature corporate-law system, investor fluency, and access to the venture ecosystem when the time comes.

The operational work — engineering, product, research — happens from Germany, where the platform is built and the research runs.

We're closing our first engagements and preparing an initial seed conversation. If you are an investor, a client, or a potential specialist for the ARK expert network, get in touch.

The founders

Two people. Two timezones. One system.

David B. Smith

Co-founder & Chief Executive Officer LinkedIn

Business development, partnerships, investor relations, US operations.

David leads Thoth's business development, partnerships, and US operations. He is the corporation's representative of record, the primary contact for investor and commercial conversations, and the public face of the US entity.

Daniel Hartman

Co-founder & Chief Technology Officer LinkedIn

ARK architecture, technical implementation, product.

Daniel designs ARK's architecture and leads its technical implementation — AI that runs on a company's own hardware, from air-gapped to hybrid, built on open-source models and fine-tuned to each business's own expertise. Two decades in B2B marketing and sales before moving to the build side: aluminium, life sciences, global scientific conferences and scientific instruments, including eight years at Nanosurf. He is also Head of Marketing at ELDICO Scientific.

How we work

Three things we insist on.

01

One capability before the next.

We ship the ARK platform before we scale the skills library before we scale ARKives as a publication channel. No boiling the ocean. No parallel moonshots. One thing that works, proved, before the next one begins.

02

Honest about uncertainty.

Every ARK deliverable names what we don't know. Most vendors sell confidence because confidence is what buyers ask for. We'd rather be right than confident, and we'd rather name a limit than pretend it isn't there.

03

AI platform, not AI theatre.

When we say AI-powered, we mean it literally. The ARK platform is real proprietary infrastructure, not a wrapper around a chatbot. Every engagement captures expertise as structured capability the next engagement can draw on. That's the compounding loop. That's the company.
