SolutionStream Acquires Kahoa Expanding AI Consulting Services
Lehi, Utah — SolutionStream, a leading provider of enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) consulting and implementation services, has acquired Kahoa, a company known for its experienced applied AI consulting team. This strategic move bolsters SolutionStream’s ability to assist enterprise organizations in transitioning from AI experimentation to measurable business transformation.
In today's rapidly evolving AI landscape, many businesses face challenges in determining where to invest, which technologies to trust, and how to successfully implement AI across their operations. The integration of Kahoa’s expertise will expand SolutionStream’s AI service offerings, providing specialized support to accelerate adoption and reduce risks.
Kahoa’s services encompass a range of capabilities designed to support organizations throughout their AI journey. These include executive coaching and organizational AI training, enterprise AI strategy and AI Solution Maps, AI implementation and systems integration, and Fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO) leadership. Additionally, Kahoa offers AI best practices, governance, and change management.
One of Kahoa’s cornerstone methodologies is the AI Solution Map, a strategic framework that helps organizations identify high-impact opportunities, prioritize AI investments, evaluate emerging technologies, and establish governance to build lasting AI capabilities. This approach ensures that organizations focus on practical, sustainable solutions rather than chasing the latest tools.
Kahoa’s hands-on training and enablement have been instrumental in fostering internal champions for AI transformation. Since its founding, Kahoa has coached over 1,000 engineers, managers, and executives, providing them with the skills and knowledge necessary for successful AI adoption.
“AI has quickly become one of the most significant strategic priorities for executive teams,” said Ryan Kell, Co-founder of Kahoa and now Chief AI Officer at SolutionStream. “Our mission has always been to help organizations move beyond pilots and proofs of concept to build sustainable AI capabilities. Joining SolutionStream allows us to combine deep technical delivery with executive AI leadership to help customers realize AI’s full business potential.”
With the acquisition now complete, clients of SolutionStream gain access to an expanded portfolio of AI services, including executive advisory, custom software development, enterprise architecture, and AI implementation, all under one organization. This integration positions the combined entity to help organizations confidently navigate the evolving AI landscape and build solutions that create lasting competitive advantages.
“By combining our strengths, we are well-positioned to support our clients in achieving their AI goals,” said Matt Frisbie, Chief Marketing Officer at SolutionStream. “Our goal is to help organizations not only adopt AI but also integrate it effectively into their core operations to drive meaningful business outcomes.”
