We find the problem. We build the fix. We prove it works.
Cocoon is a two-person AI consultancy that goes deep into organizations, identifies the real bottlenecks, and delivers working solutions — not slide decks.
A new kind of consulting
Most consultants tell you what's wrong. We show you it's fixed.
Cocoon was founded by Lisa Bergmann and Sarah Chen — a technologist who thinks in products and a strategist who thinks in systems. Two very different minds, united by a shared obsession: understanding users and leveraging AI to solve real problems.
We work across department lines. We quantify what others describe with adjectives. And when we find the biggest lever, we don't hand you a report — we build the solution, deploy it, and prove it works. Then we hand it over.

Find the problems nobody can name
We cut across departments, hierarchies, and silos. Not the usual top-down workshop, but real immersion: talking to teams, observing processes, analyzing data. We surface the problems that everyone feels but nobody can articulate.

Quantify
Make every problem measurable
Gut feelings don't survive budget meetings. We quantify and qualify every problem we find. What does it cost the business? How many people does it affect? Where's the biggest lever? Data-driven prioritization, not PowerPoint intuition.
Build
Ship the solution, prove it works
This is where we're different. We don't stop at recommendations. We design the solution, build it, deploy it, and measure the results. Prototype, pilot, proof. Only then do we hand it over. No "you should probably do X" — we do X.
Our founding duo
A technologist who thinks like a designer and a strategist who thinks in systems. Different expertise, shared obsession.
Lisa Bergmann
Co-founder & CTO
Engineer with a rare eye for product design. Builds systems and interfaces in the same breath. Ex Vercel.
LinkedInSarah Chen
Co-founder & CEO
Strategist who reads business models like source code. Spots where companies leak value. Ex Stripe.
LinkedInFrom a shared frustration to a new kind of firm
Lisa and Sarah kept running into the same problem — consultants who diagnosed but never built. In 2024 they decided to do it differently.
2026
AI-native from day one
Every engagement now starts with AI-assisted discovery. We cut diagnostic time in half and deliver prototypes in weeks, not months.
2025
First enterprise clients
Word spread. Two Fortune 500 companies brought us in to untangle cross-departmental workflows that had stalled for years.
2024
Cocoon is founded
Lisa and Sarah leave their roles to build the consultancy they always wished existed. First client within three weeks — a logistics company bleeding money on manual processes.
2022
The frustration crystallizes
Both independently hit the same wall: brilliant consultants who delivered decks, not outcomes. They start talking about what "consulting that actually ships" would look like.
2018
Lisa and Sarah meet
A conference talk on developer experience sparks a conversation that never really ends. Different worlds — infrastructure and strategy — but the same conviction: build for users, not for org charts.
Simple, transparent pricing
No hourly billing, no scope creep surprises. You know what you're paying before we start.
Sprint Week
One focused week. One specific problem. We go from discovery to a working prototype, delivered Friday.
- Lisa & Sarah, full week
- Working prototype delivered
