Enterprise AI Expertise. Mid-Market Pricing. Local Delivery.

We bring Big 4 consulting capabilities to mid-market companies at boutique pricing—delivered in weeks, not months.

APEXA was founded in 2025 with a simple mission: make enterprise-grade AI accessible to the 99% of businesses that can't afford €500K consulting projects or 6-12 month timelines.

Enterprise capabilities (proven methodologies, certified consultants, rigorous quality)
Boutique pricing (€5,900-€85,000, not €500K+)
Fast delivery (6-16 weeks, not 6-12 months)
Local support (English, Slovak, Czech, German)
Full code ownership (no vendor lock-in)

The gap we identified

Big 4 Consultancies

Enterprises only

McKinsey, Accenture, Deloitte — AI projects start at €500K, take 6-12 months

APEXA fills this gap

APEXA

Mid-market companies (10-250 employees, €2M-€350M revenue) — AI projects from €5,900, delivered in 6-16 weeks

Too sophisticated for freelancersToo small for Big 4

Freelancers

Small businesses only

Lack strategic depth and structured methodology for mid-market complexity

Why We Started APEXA

Founder & CEO

Richard Kolesar

Bratislava, Slovakia

I'm Richard Kolesar, founder and CEO of APEXA.

I spent 20 years managing complex IT projects for enterprises—exactly the kinds of projects that mid-market companies desperately need but can't afford.

I watched as:

Small and mid-market companies fell further behind their enterprise competitors
AI vendors charged enterprise prices for solutions that should be affordable
Technical jargon and complexity intimidated business leaders from exploring AI
6-12 month timelines killed momentum before projects even started

In 2024, I earned AI Generalist and AI Consultant certifications. I learned to build production-ready AI systems in weeks using modern tools like Claude, n8n, and multi-agent frameworks.

"What takes Big 4 consultancies 6 months, I could deliver in 6 weeks—for 1/10th the cost."

So I founded APEXA to do exactly that. We're not trying to be the biggest consulting firm. We're trying to be the best at one thing:

Bringing enterprise AI to mid-market companies in Central Europe—fast, affordable, and effective.

Six Ways We Stand Apart

Transparent Pricing

Most consultancies hide pricing behind “contact us for quote” forms. We publish fixed prices: €5,900, €19,900, or €45-85K. No surprises.

Weeks, Not Months

Big 4 consultancies take 6-12 months. We deliver production-ready solutions in 6-16 weeks through agile methodology and modern tools.

ROI Guarantee

We guarantee minimum 15:1 ROI within 12 months for Full Implementation clients. If you don't achieve it, we keep optimizing at no additional cost.

Full Code Ownership

You own 100% of the source code. No vendor lock-in. No recurring license fees. Freedom to maintain and modify independently.

GDPR-First Approach

Built for EU markets. Data protection and compliance are baked in from day one, not bolted on as an afterthought.

Local + Global

We're based in Bratislava but serve clients across CEE and are expanding to the US. We deliver in English, Slovak, Czech, and German.

What We Believe

Transparency Over Mystique

AI isn't magic. We explain how our solutions work, what they cost, and what ROI to expect. No smoke and mirrors.

Speed Over Perfection

We ship working solutions fast, then iterate. Waiting 6 months for “perfect” means missing opportunities for 6 months.

Outcomes Over Outputs

We're not measured by lines of code written. We're measured by hours saved, costs reduced, and revenue enabled.

Ownership Over Subscriptions

You should own what you pay for. We give you full source code, documentation, and training—not another SaaS bill.

Partnership Over Transactions

We’re not “sell and disappear” consultants. 40% of our clients add ongoing retainers because we become trusted partners.
