About MintUp
We build intelligence into your business.
MintUp is an AI-first product studio based in Cleveland, OH. We help founders and businesses leverage AI, automation, and custom software to operate at a level that used to require twice the team.
Our Philosophy
Leverage, not labor.
Most tech companies in Cleveland sell you hours. We sell you outcomes. The difference is that we use AI and automation at every layer of how we work, which means you get more done with less overhead, fewer meetings, and faster timelines.
We don't just build software. We build systems that multiply what a small team can accomplish. AI should work for your business, not be a buzzword on your pitch deck. Every tool we ship is designed to replace a process, not add to the pile.
AI-native from day one
Every project starts with the question: what can we automate before we write a single line of custom code?
Small team, big output
Two founders. No bloated org chart. Every conversation is with someone who actually builds the product.
Cleveland-rooted, remote-capable
Based in Northeast Ohio, serving clients across the country. Local relationships with the reach of a distributed team.
The Team
Built by Two Founders
No account managers. No junior devs learning on your project. When you work with MintUp, you work directly with the people building your product.
Nick Vadini
CTO / Technical Lead
Full-stack engineer who architects and builds the systems. React, React Native, Supabase, Stripe, AI integrations. Nick handles everything from infrastructure to frontend polish. If it ships, he wrote it.
Jonah Clement
CEO / Strategy & Client Partnerships
Translates business problems into technical solutions. Jonah runs strategy, client relationships, and marketing. He ensures every build serves the actual business need, not just a feature request.
Our Values
What We Believe
Ship fast, iterate faster
AI-assisted development means we move at startup speed for every client. First versions ship in weeks, not quarters. Then we refine based on real usage, not guesswork.
Your tools should work for you
If you're copying data between tabs, something is broken. We connect your systems so information flows automatically and your team spends time on work that actually matters.
AI is leverage
The best AI implementation is one your team barely notices because it just works. No gimmicks, no chatbot for the sake of a chatbot. Just smarter systems that handle the repetitive stuff.
Partners, not vendors
We're in it with you long-term, not handing off a project and disappearing. We maintain what we build, evolve it as your business grows, and stay available when things change.
