About
Built on fifteen years
of doing this
Four products from zero to exit. The same operational discipline every time. Now applied to AI workflows.
The methodology
Walk in. Figure it out.
Build the process. Scale it.
Croftspan was built on a pattern: walk into something new, figure out how it works, build the operational process, then scale it. That pattern has been applied across mobile publishing, cryptocurrency, NFT marketplaces, and AI products. It produced $650M in exits and products that shipped on time with process, not luck.
Now that same methodology is applied to AI operations. Not just for engineering teams. For any organization with workflows that could run faster, more consistently, and more reviewably with AI automation.
The approach
Start with the workflow, not the tools
Most companies trying to adopt AI start with the tools. They install something, write some prompts, and hope the output improves. It doesn't. The prompts grow. The configuration contradicts itself. The output gets worse, not better.
We start with the workflow. What does your team actually do? What are the steps, the review gates, the handoffs? Then we translate those human processes into AI automation that preserves the quality checks your team already relies on. The AI runs the workflow. Your team reviews the output.
The founder
Eaven Portillo
Blockfolio, the world's first crypto portfolio tracker, from MVP to a $150M acquisition. ToppsNFTs, the first automated fiat on/off-ramp NFT marketplace, $40M in year one revenue, $500M acquisition. Sortium, a $14M raise to build AI and extended reality products. 15 years of the same discipline: figure it out, build the process, scale it.
The tool
Croftspan and GIGO
Croftspan finds what's broken in your workflows and sets everything into forward motion. GIGO is the system that makes it repeatable.
GIGO is a system for building autonomous operational processes. Expert assembly, structured planning, adversarial review, automatic cleanup. It's how Croftspan runs its own operations. Every deliverable, every client engagement, every internal workflow runs on GIGO. The organization is the proof that the system works.
When Croftspan runs a client engagement, GIGO is the methodology behind it. The same system, applied to a new domain. That's why it's open and free. The methodology isn't the product. The expertise to automate your workflows is.
