Built by Operators, for Operators
OpenGate was founded by practitioners who ran enterprise AI at scale. We know what it takes to deliver outcomes because we've been in your shoes.
Our Mission
We believe every enterprise deserves an AI partner that delivers outcomes, not just technology.
That means hands-on implementation, proven methodologies, and a relentless focus on measurable business value. Not licensing. Not consulting. Partnership.
Meet the Founders
Built by operators who've lived the complexity of enterprise AI — and decided to solve it.
Jason Rice
Co-Founder & CEO
Revenue-focused technology executive with 20+ years driving enterprise growth. Wharton-educated strategist who bridges the gap between AI capability and business value — ensuring every deployment maps to ROI, not hype. Jason turns AI pilots into production outcomes.
Stephen Ternes
Co-Founder & CTO
Enterprise AI and observability leader with deep expertise in operational infrastructure at scale. Stephen architects the systems that turn AI from a science project into a business capability — with OpenTelemetry-based visibility, cost governance, and measurable outcomes baked in from day one.
Our DNA
Three influences shape everything we build
Observability DNA
Built-in observability from day one. You can't manage what you can't measure. OpenTelemetry-based visibility across cost, compliance, and performance.
Platform Thinking
Enterprise platforms need flexibility, not rigidity. Multi-model orchestration, no vendor lock-in, and composable architecture for your unique needs.
NVIDIA Infrastructure
Purpose-built on NVIDIA DGX. 1 petaflop compute. 128GB unified memory. NIM microservices. The gold standard for enterprise AI operations.
Our Values
How we work and who we are
Outcome-Obsessed

Infrastructure-First
NVIDIA DGX infrastructure certainty. Not cloud wrappers. Not third-party integrations.
