About Thoth Intelligence

We are building the AI
consulting category.

Thoth Intelligence is a small, deliberate team. We build the methodology, the consulting practice, and the networks that make AI-assisted strategic work rigorous, fast, and accessible. 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 — consulting, platform, research — happens from Germany. MarS by Mercury has been delivering strategic consulting from Germany since 2021. In 2026, Thoth Intelligence was founded as the platform and corporate infrastructure to scale what MbM built. The two are merging fully once the model is validated.

We're pre-revenue. We're currently 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

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. (Bio detail to be added.)

Daniel Hartman

Co-founder & Chief AI Architect

Polyspheric AI architecture, ARK platform design, consulting delivery through MarS by Mercury.

Technical and research lead. Owns the polyspheric AI architecture that powers the ARK platform and the methodology MarS by Mercury delivers. (Bio detail to be added.)

Founder bios above are placeholder text — the final copy will be added before launch. If you'd like to be introduced personally before then, the contact page is the right place to start.

How we work

Three things we insist on.

01

One capability before the next.

We validate MarS by Mercury as a consulting practice before we launch ARK as a skills library before we scale the Thoth Archive 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 MarS deliverable names what we don't know. Most consultancies sell confidence because confidence is what clients 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.
