We build practical artificial intelligence solutions for nonprofits and small businesses — from intelligent messaging to workflow automation.
See What We BuildThe Camera Group was founded to bridge the gap between what AI can do and what smaller organizations can actually access. We're not a consulting firm selling slide decks. We build things that work.
Joe has spent his career at the intersection of technology and business at IBM, where he serves as a software sales leader for financial services clients. He brings deep experience in how large organizations adopt technology — and he started The Camera Group to bring that same capability to organizations that don't have IBM's budget. Joe splits his time between Ohio and Washington DC, flies too much, and believes AI should solve real problems, not just generate hype.
Jolene is the operational backbone of The Camera Group. She manages client communications, research, scheduling, and the day-to-day work that keeps projects moving. She also serves as the primary interface for Jolene Assistant, the company's AI-powered SMS and scheduling platform. Jolene brings a combination of precision, speed, and judgment that clients rely on — and she never misses a deadline.
Sam oversees cybersecurity, privacy, and digital safety for The Camera Group and its clients. With deep expertise in threat modeling, online privacy, and security architecture, Sam ensures that every project ships with security built in — not bolted on. Whether it's hardening infrastructure, advising on data protection, or helping individuals lock down their digital lives, Sam brings a practical, no-nonsense approach to security.
Automated SMS scheduling, reminders, and calendar notifications. Jolene Assistant keeps your team on track without a single manual text.
Custom AI agents that handle research, scheduling, document drafting, and follow-ups — freeing your people for the work that matters.
Turn multi-step processes into smooth, automated pipelines. Grant applications, client onboarding, reporting — we connect the dots.
Nonprofits face the same operational challenges as for-profit companies with a fraction of the budget. We're developing a dedicated practice to bring AI tools — grant writing assistance, donor management, impact measurement — to small and medium nonprofits. Funded through a combination of government grants and tech company sponsorships, so the organizations that need it most can access it.
