Uplift Equity Group develops and grows a portfolio of purpose-driven companies that build lasting equity and create opportunity at every level. Today, we're starting with the businesses that keep America running — and giving their owners their time back through AI automation.
The owner of a five-person company doesn't have a procurement department, an HR team, or a marketing arm. They have themselves. They open the shop, run payroll, answer the phone, post on Instagram, and try to keep the books straight — usually before 9 a.m. The result: they spend their day on tasks that don't move the business forward, and their lives shrink to fit the work. We think there's a better way.
We listen for the one task you do every day that you wish a smart assistant could just handle. Most owners can name three within five minutes.
We build a system tailored to your business — not a SaaS template. It runs on your data, integrates with the tools you already use, and stays out of your way.
Once it's running, you don't think about it. We handle maintenance and AI costs for a small monthly fee. You get your time back.
When The Bridge Foundation — a 501(c)(3) supporting youth ages 14 through 22 — needed to find grant funding, the team faced a problem familiar to every small nonprofit: there are 728 foundations in Nebraska alone, and reading every one of their giving criteria takes time the team simply doesn't have.
We built them a grant discovery system that scans every Nebraska foundation, scores each one against the Bridge Foundation's mission, and surfaces only the few worth applying to. They submitted their first application within a week. They were approved for their first $500 grant shortly after. The hours of manual hunting that would normally be required: zero.
"This is what AI is supposed to do — give small organizations the kind of operational leverage that used to require a full-time staff member."
Disclosure: Jacobi White is co-founder of Uplift Equity Group and founder of The Bridge Foundation. Both organizations operate independently with appropriate conflict-of-interest protections.
Kenny builds and maintains every automation, database, and AI system UEG ships. He's spent the last several years building production AI systems for finance and content workflows — the kind of work most small businesses thought was out of reach. At UEG, he turns those same tools into custom solutions for owner-operators.
Jacobi is the founder of The Bridge Foundation, a 501(c)(3) serving youth ages 14–22, and the connective tissue between UEG and the Nebraska business community. He spends his days in the rooms where small business owners actually make decisions — and he's the reason UEG never has to cold-pitch a stranger.
Uplift Equity Group is structured as a multi-sector holding company because we plan to build more than one business. Today, the AI automation work is the entire venture. Tomorrow, it's one of several purpose-driven companies under the UEG umbrella — each one solving a real problem in a sector we know well, each one operated with the same care.
