About H1 AI Consulting · Denver, CO

We Help Small Businesses Put AI to Work

We are a Denver-based consultancy for small and mid-size teams without an IT department — we find where AI actually saves you time, train your people to use it, and stay past go-live.

Our Mission

We partner with small and mid-size businesses to identify where AI can create real value, equip their teams to use it confidently and responsibly, and implement sustainable solutions that drive growth.

What We Believe

The Convictions Behind Every Engagement

  1. AI has the potential to unlock transformative growth in any business when implemented strategically and holistically.

  2. AI should serve as an extension of human expertise rather than a replacement for it.

  3. AI automates tasks, not jobs.

  4. Structured education provides the foundation and confidence needed for effective AI implementation.

  5. AI adoption should prioritize growth over cost savings.

  6. In most cases, AI can optimize and augment your existing teams, systems and processes.

  7. Data privacy and governance should be a top priority.

Cameron Perrin

Technology & Engineering Lead

Cameron Perrin is the Technology & Engineering Lead for H1. He builds the systems behind the work, including AI-enabled applications, dashboards, automations, and digital tools that take routine tasks off a team's plate, and helps shape how they're designed, built, and maintained.

Cameron came to engineering through art and design, and that background still shapes how he works: he cares as much about how something feels to use as how well it performs. His work spans e-commerce and modern web platforms, primarily Next.js and Shopify, with a growing focus on using AI strategically to help scale the websites and systems H1 builds without losing the human judgment and craft behind them. Outside of work, Cameron spends his time exploring the outdoors with his wife and son, spearfishing, and cooking.
