At Cold Iron Labs, our mission is to help leaders build intelligent organizations — companies that use technology, automation, and AI strategically to drive measurable business outcomes.
We share insights, tutorials, and reviews to help business owners, executives, and technology professionals make smarter, more informed decisions about the tools and strategies that shape performance. Our content spans topics from AI and automation to cybersecurity and digital transformation — all grounded in real-world application, not hype.
Cold Iron Labs is primarily funded through our consulting and advisory work with clients. We provide services such as digital transformation strategy, AI and automation planning, and interim or fractional CIO leadership.
From time to time, we also maintain relationships with a small number of vendor partners whose products or services align with our mission and values. When we refer a client or reader to one of these partners, we may receive a commission or referral fee — but only from trusted companies we would confidently recommend regardless of compensation.
These commissions represent a small portion of our overall revenue and help support the cost of producing free educational content for the community. No partner has any influence over our editorial opinions, recommendations, or reviews.
For more information on our publishing standards, please see our Editorial Guidelines.
Trust is the foundation of everything we do. Whether advising a private equity portfolio company on IT strategy or helping a small business choose automation tools, we approach every recommendation with integrity and independence.
By being transparent about our funding model, we want you to know that our opinions are shaped by firsthand experience, not paid promotion.
