About

Two brothers. One data obsession.

DataBrosFTW started in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, built by two brothers from Denver who believed that using data well is how businesses win. “FTW” — For The Win — means we back what we build until it does.

Our story

We began by doing the unglamorous work that small businesses needed most: cleaning messy spreadsheets, connecting databases, building dashboards, and surfacing the KPIs that let owners make faster, better decisions.

Along the way, one thing became obvious — most businesses are sitting on data they can’t fully use. AI changes that. So we’ve pointed the same discipline (understand the problem, get the data right, ship something that works) at a far more powerful set of tools.

Today we help businesses design, build, and implement real AI — and we’re building our own AI-native property management platform, ForgePM.
