Mike Dalewitz named executive chairman and Cat Casey president as the company brings learning, community, careers, media and services onto one AI-powered platform
Intelligent AF launched today as an AI-fluency ecosystem that brings education, community, events, career services, media and investment into one membership for the legal industry. The company will start in legal and expand into other professional services industries. It is backed by a group of investors led by Mike Dalewitz of Greenwood Drive Investments, who will serve as executive chairman. Co-founder Cat Casey, a legal AI executive and influencer who helped scale two legal technology companies to unicorn status, will serve as the company's first president.
For most of the legal industry, the time to build AI fluency is now, and there has been no single place to do it. A few thousand early adopters already have the conferences, communities and networks to show for it. The rest of the industry, more than 20 million lawyers, paralegals and support staff worldwide according to the International Bar Association, are only now recognizing AI fluency as career capital, and most have been piecing it together from a dozen disconnected sources. Intelligent AF gives them a community of their own, with learning, connections, career opportunities and visibility in one place, and AI as the layer connecting it all.
“We're building the place where the legal industry gets AI-fluent," said Mike Dalewitz, co-founder and executive chairman of Intelligent AF and principle of Greenwood Drive Investments. "Most companies in this space sell a professional one thing and hope they come back. Intelligent AF is built to stay with that person for an entire career. That’s the human layer of the AI revolution.”
The company launches with five connected businesses:
- Informed AF runs education, certification and the company's live events and conferences.
- Connected AF runs the professional community and network.
- Employed AF covers coaching, outplacement and career placement.
- Funded AF, the company's investment arm, will back high-potential professionals and the companies they go on to build.
- Amplified AF turns members' expertise into visibility and revenue.
Members move between the businesses as their careers grow. A lawyer might earn a certification through Informed AF, meet a future employer at an Intelligent AF conference, then land a keynote through Amplified AF on the strength of that work. Every business shares one audience, brand and membership, so a relationship formed in one part of the ecosystem carries into the rest.
Companies come in from the other side. Employers will be able to recruit from a growing pool of AI-fluent legal professionals whose skills will be verified through Informed AF certification. Sponsors and partners reach that same audience across education, events and media through a single relationship instead of buying attention one channel at a time.
“I spent 20 years helping build other people’s unicorns while watching incredibly smart humans navigate every technology shift basically on their own,” said Cat Casey, co-founder and president of Intelligent AF. “AI just made that problem existential. A course isn’t enough. A conference isn’t enough. Another tool isn’t enough. People need the fluency, network, visibility and opportunity to become more valuable as AI gets more powerful. So we built it.”
Intelligent AF acquires TechnoCat to form Amplified AF
Intelligent AF also announced its first acquisition, TechnoCat LLC, the agency and production company Casey founded to package the growth playbook she refined at two late-stage legal technology companies. TechnoCat LLC becomes the foundation of Amplified AF, which will run that playbook for Intelligent AF members and the companies that hire them. Terms were not disclosed.
Amplified AF turns what members build across Intelligent AF into visibility and income, giving professionals a path to paid speaking, advisory work and media while helping firms and legal tech companies put their leaders in front of the same audience.
“AI is making content effectively infinite. That makes credible human influence more valuable, not less,” Casey said. “Amplified AF is built to make sure the people worth hearing actually get heard.” TechnoCat will continue as Casey's personal brand and the flagship example of the model.
