About Architekts
We didn't build Architekts from a whiteboard.
We built it from the inside.

I.

Where this
actually started.

Two years inside one of the world's largest professional services networks. Not as consultants. Not as vendors. As builders — operating from within, trying to move one of the most change-resistant industries in the world toward Deep Tech adoption.

We operated inside PKF International — a global network spanning 150 countries, thousands of partners, hundreds of thousands of professionals. It is one of the most respected professional services networks in the world, and working within it gave us something no external advisor ever gets: a genuine, operational understanding of how these organizations actually function.

We built a Deep Tech HUB from scratch. We identified vendors, packaged products, ran pilots, closed deals, sat in partner meetings, and learned — in real time — what it actually takes to sell and deploy technology inside a global professional firm.

"Most people describe this industry from the outside. We know it from the inside. That's not a small difference — it's the only difference that matters."

That experience is the foundation of everything Architekts does. Not a theory. Not a framework. A working knowledge of how these organizations operate at their best — and where the structural gaps in the broader industry create opportunities that no one is addressing at scale.


II.

What we saw
inside.

Global professional firms are extraordinary institutions. Decades of trust. Global reach. Access to the most consequential decisions made by corporations and governments. Relationships that took generations to build.

But across the industry as a whole, we consistently identified a set of structural patterns that create both friction and opportunity — observations that apply broadly to how professional services networks navigate technology adoption and business model evolution.

The innovation gap is structural. Most firms have an innovation narrative. Very few have an innovation operation. Across the industry, the gap between what is communicated externally and what is executed internally remains significant — and largely unaddressed.
Technology adoption requires translation. Firms receive hundreds of vendor pitches per year and close very few. Not because the technology is poor — but because no one has done the work of translating it into the commercial and operational language of professional services.
Revenue model diversification is overdue. The billable hour and the annual retainer built great firms. As standalone revenue architectures, they are increasingly insufficient to capture the value that professional networks are uniquely positioned to generate.
Execution capacity is the real bottleneck. Strategy is rarely the missing piece. The gap is operational — the infrastructure, the vendor ecosystem, and the commercial processes needed to turn a good idea into a revenue-generating reality.
Cross-selling potential is massively untapped. A firm with thousands of clients across dozens of countries has more distribution power than most technology companies in the world. That power is almost entirely dormant when it comes to Deep Tech products.

These are not hypotheses. They are direct observations from years of operating inside this ecosystem — watching how decisions get made, how budgets get allocated, and where opportunities consistently disappear before anyone acts on them.


III.

Why we stopped
being inside
and started building the bridge.

At some point, the question stopped being "how do we solve this within the system" and became "why isn't there a company that exists specifically to solve this?"

The answer was simple: because building that company requires a very specific combination of things that almost no one has simultaneously — deep insider knowledge of global professional firm networks, a validated ecosystem of Deep Tech providers, and the operational capacity to execute on both sides at once.

"We didn't leave to do something else. We left to do this — at the scale and speed that wasn't possible from inside."

Architekts is the company we wished existed when we were operating inside PKF. A partner that understood our language. That had already validated the technology. That could take a product from a Deep Tech company in Israel or the US and make it commercially real inside a professional firm in Colombia, Spain, or Australia — in weeks, not years.

That's the company we decided to build. Not as a consultancy. Not as a tech vendor. As a Venture Architecture firm — a new category that operates at the intersection of both worlds.


IV.

What we
built.

Each division of Architekts was designed as a direct answer to a specific problem we observed during those two years. Not products invented in a boardroom — responses to real, structural gaps in the market.

Together, these five divisions form a complete architecture — one that can meet a global professional firm at any point in its technology journey and take it forward.


V.

How we
operate.

We don't have a long list of values on a wall. We have a short list of operating principles that shape every engagement, every conversation, and every deal we pursue.

Principle 01

Skin in the game, always.

We don't charge for strategy and leave. We co-invest our time, our network, and our technology in exchange for equity or revenue alignment. We win when you win — and that's not a slogan, it's the structure of every deal we do.

Principle 02

No intermediaries between us and execution.

We are not a holding company that manages other companies that manage the work. We are the people who do the work. Every engagement is handled directly by the founders and the core team — no layers, no delegation to juniors, no account managers.

Principle 03

Validated before deployed.

Nothing in our stack is theoretical. Every technology we commercialize has been tested in real markets with real clients. We don't pitch potential — we deploy proof.

Principle 04

Long-term or not at all.

We don't do quick wins that create long-term dependencies. Every structure we build is designed to generate compounding value — for our partners, for the firms we work with, and for the ventures we co-create.


VI.

The people
behind this.

Architekts is not two people. It is a carefully assembled team of professionals and experts across each area of our operation — combining knowledge, experience, and networks that are directly applied in the service of our partners and clients. We bring together people who have operated at the highest levels of technology, professional services, strategy, and venture building — and we deploy that collective intelligence as a single, coordinated force.

Among the principals leading the venture:

Mariano Lebedinsky Rubistein
Co-Founder & CEO

Built the High-Tech Ventures & Cross Border Investments division at PKF International in Latin America — the first of its kind inside a global audit firm spanning 150+ countries. His background spans finance, technology, geopolitics, and crisis management, having advised governments, multinationals, and world leaders across both public and private sectors on high-stakes international projects.

That depth of experience — operating at the intersection of capital, technology, and global institutions — is what he brings to Architekts. He understands how global firms make decisions, how budgets get approved, and what it takes to move an organization from a first conversation to a signed agreement. An AI pioneer since 2017, he combines strategic vision with the operational capacity to turn complex partnerships into real commercial outcomes.

Nicolás Rodriguez Giovanoni
Co-Founder & Deep Tech Unit

He led the technology unit at PKF International, identifying, evaluating, and integrating best-in-class technology nodes across blockchain, cyber defense, and digital asset intelligence — connecting them into a single coordinated ecosystem for public entities, private corporations, and NGOs operating at the frontier of the digital order. Trained to the same technical level as the world's most advanced law enforcement agencies — including bodies equivalent to Interpol, the DEA, and Europol — in digital financial crime investigation, blockchain traceability, and forensic analysis.

He anticipates the impact of AI, helping organizations of all sizes—both global and local—gain access to the same tools used by large corporations and law enforcement agencies. He translates technical complexity into strategic advantage for every partner in the network.

Both founders are based in Latin America and operate globally. Around them, Architekts brings together a curated group of co-founders, senior advisors, and strategic partners — leading companies and world-class professionals, each at the top of their field. People and organizations with decades of experience working with major corporations across multiple continents and languages.

They come together for one purpose: to build the definitive bridge between Deep Tech and the global professional firms that will define the next decade of business.

The company operates by invitation — we do not pursue volume, we pursue the right partnerships.
