Shouldered AI / For farmers, ranchers and growers
You be the farmer. We shoulder the rest.
Your work is out in the field from first light. Shouldered keeps the farm office running, orders, invoices, members and filings, so the evenings are not spent at the kitchen table with paperwork.
"Restaurants and grocers order by text and I lose track."
Tabitha at the Service Desk gathers every order in one place and confirms delivery days.
"Buyers pay late."
Matthew at the Finance Desk invoices every delivery and follows up until it is paid.
"Our CSA members need weekly updates."
Silas at the Marketing Desk sends the weekly box note, pickup reminders and renewal notices.
"Forms and filing dates sneak up on me."
Deborah at the Legal Desk tracks the dates and gathers the paperwork for you and your advisers.
Simon and seven desks of Heroes, working for farmers.
Takes buyer orders, confirms deliveries, and answers customer questions.
Invoices buyers, chases late payments, and keeps records for your accountant.
Sends CSA notes, posts market days, and promotes farm events.
Follows up with restaurants and grocers about what is in season.
Schedules seasonal workers and keeps their paperwork in order.
Tracks filing, certification and renewal dates, with decisions left to you and your advisers.
Simon runs HQ: all the tech and all the brain power, and the one you talk to. Each of the seven desks is run by a Hero, and Simon directs all seven and answers for them. A person approves what matters, and legal, tax, medical and financial decisions stay with you and your licensed advisers.
While you are out in the field, Simon gathers three restaurant orders for Thursday and confirms the delivery times. CSA members got this week's box note and pickup reminder. A grocer who was late has paid. You come in at dusk with nothing waiting on the kitchen table.
An illustration, not a promised result.
Start
Start with a Hero for each person at $25 a seat, and the Small HQ (up to 5 seats, 80 hours a month) at $750 a month paid for the year, with a $1,000 onboarding fee once.
Grow
Adding markets, buyers or seasonal crews? Grow seats and hours as you go.
Your Hero is here to improve the human. Your HQ, led by Simon, is here to improve your business.
Two prices, and 50 Founding places.
First, what the work costs you today. A full-time office manager runs most small businesses about $4,000 to $5,000 a month with taxes and benefits, and goes home at five. Every call nobody answers is a job that goes to someone else.
Business coaching often costs $5,000 to $7,500 for one session day. HQ does the work every month, with a coach running the Shouldered Way and workshops included. Already have a coach? HQ works alongside them.
Founding 50: of 50 places left. When they are gone, this price closes.

Prices are per month. Only the first 50 companies (the Founding 50) get the Founding price with a two-year commitment, paid yearly by bank transfer, and keep it for as long as they renew. Pay yearly by bank transfer and take 3% off. Onboarding is $1,000 for Small and $2,000 for Medium, paid once, and free at Shouldered events. It is one 1-hour call: technical setup with our technical team first, then your business with our team. The person who sold you HQ joins your onboarding call. Paid for the year, you get a named person who checks in every month. Month to month gets standard support. Twenty-one people and up is built around you. More seats are $25 each (Founding price $20), and more hours $12.50 each; hours count only while HQ is working, like minutes on a phone plan.
Enterprise and government. For large companies and public agencies. Custom plans start at $5,000 a month. Pilots are paid. We start SOC 2 Type 1 work in 2027. Texas agencies: we are working toward TX-RAMP.
If HQ does not complete at least 40 hours of real admin work a month for you in your first six months (100 hours on Medium), tell us by the end of month five and we refund every dollar you paid for the plan.
The onboarding fee is not refunded. The guarantee asks one thing of you: let HQ do its work. Give it the access it needs and review its work in good faith. If our records show you kept declining or blocking the work HQ set out to do, the guarantee does not apply. If we see that happening, we tell you in writing so you can fix it.
The six months start the day HQ goes live for you. The Founding 50 are included. The guarantee covers HQ only, never coach fees.
I am not a computer person. Will this work for me?
Yes. You can talk to Simon in plain words by text or email, and it handles the rest.
Does it give tax or grant advice?
No. We prepare and track. Decisions stay with you and your licensed advisers.
Is my farm data private?
Your private data stays in your own system.
What if it does not help?
If HQ does not complete at least 40 hours of real admin work a month for you in your first six months (100 hours on Medium), tell us by the end of month five and we refund every dollar you paid for the plan.
When can I start?
The Hero is available now. HQ launches in December 2026, and the founding list is open today.
A Christian-run company, and proud of it.
Churches get free Hero seats. When a member's business joins, its church gets an HQ, free.
Simon is named for Simon of Cyrene, who stepped in and shouldered the cross for another. Shouldered takes no outside funding and is open to everyone. The technology comes from the OurWorld group: ten years of work, 60+ engineers, running in 20+ countries.
