Merkava is a business-intelligence platform for operators — you activate a department, not a tool: six departments, each run by its own AI executive, plus the specialist plugins they manage, running on a single orchestration layer.
Merkava is the business-intelligence platform for operators who haven't taken the raise — running a business without a C-suite. You activate a department, not a tool: Marketing, Sales, Operations, Engineering, Finance, and HR — each run by its own AI executive — managing specialist plugins that orchestrate through one shared layer. Every action they take lands in an inspectable activity feed with a per-action audit log. Built by Meridian Ventures, LLC; founded by Everett Steele.
Merkava is an all-in-one operating system for small businesses. Instead of raising capital to hire a CMO, a VP Sales, a COO, and the staff that report to them — the operator activates a department, not a tool: Marketing, Sales, Operations, Engineering, Finance, and HR, each run by its own AI executive, plus the specialist plugins they manage. Every plugin, from SEO audits to performance reviews, plugs into one workspace through a signed HMAC protocol called the Meridian Platform Contract.
The product was built by Meridian Ventures, LLC, founded by Everett Steele. Every action the executives ship is logged to a public GitHub repo so operators (and the public) can verify what shipped. Pricing starts at $49/month per department and goes to $749/month for the Full C-Suite.

Founder.
Everett built the first Drives and hired the AI execs to run the rest. Operator background — has spent the last decade running and advising businesses where the cost of hiring a real executive layer was always greater than the value the executive layer would have produced. Merkava is the answer to the question: what would it look like if a whole department was a product you could hire?

Press FAQ — quick answers for journalists + investors.
What is Merkava and what does it do?
Merkava is a business-intelligence platform for the operator who hasn't taken the raise — running a business without a C-suite. It gives you AI executives — CMO, VP Sales, COO, CTO, CFO, CHRO — and the specialist plugins they manage, who run their own motions inside a single workspace. Modular capabilities called Plugins plug in through an open HMAC-signed protocol called the Meridian Platform Contract.
Who is the founder?
Everett Steele is the founder of Meridian (the parent company) and Merkava. Bio, headshot, and biographical details available in this press kit. Contact [email protected] for direct interview requests.
Is Merkava bootstrapped or VC-backed?
Bootstrapped. Meridian (the parent company) is a Texas-incorporated LLC, founder-owned, no outside capital.
What's the business model?
Per department hired, monthly subscription. Marketing (CMO) is $249/mo, Sales (VP Sales) is $199/mo, Operations (COO) is $199/mo, Engineering (CTO) is $99/mo, Finance (CFO) is $49/mo. The Full C-Suite bundle is $749/mo. Third-party Drive authors get 70/30 rev split on Drives sold through the Marketplace marketplace.
Who is the customer?
Operators who haven't taken the raise — running a business without a C-suite, bootstrapped, growing, profitable or near-profitable. The unifying shape is operator-led with limited headcount across 5+ motions (sales, content, ops, hiring, support). Merkava replaces the cost of hiring or contracting individual specialists for each motion.
What's the differentiation versus other AI tooling?
Three things: (1) AI executives that take action, not chat; the C2 task engine writes deals, ships content, runs cadences without an operator clicking through prompts. (2) Cross-Drive integration in a single workspace — Beacon (SEO) reads what Quillsly (content) wrote without webhooks. (3) Per-tenant pricing without per-seat tax — operators don't get punished by per-seat math just because they're running it themselves.
Where is the company located?
Texas, USA. Meridian (the parent company) is incorporated in Texas. The team is small and remote-first; production runs on Railway and Cloudflare.
