Celara Labs builds high-performance technology teams specialized in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and product development. Headquartered in Washington DC / Tysons area and delivery center in Latin America, we help venture-backed startups, mid-market companies, and enterprise clients design, build, and scale AI-driven products and platforms.
We are not a traditional staffing agency. Our model combines the flexibility of nearshore staffing with the rigor of a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) structure and the strategic guidance of senior AI leadership. This allows our clients to move faster, reduce risk, and achieve lasting outcomes while keeping full ownership of their roadmap and IP.
Our leadership team blends decades of experience in technology, venture capital, and product building. Several of our partners have been on the “buyer side” of the table as startup executives and investors. We know first-hand the urgency and clarity required when building AI teams ,and we bring that perspective to every engagement.
How:
1. AI Studio
Discovery & Prototyping: We dedicate senior AI engineers and data scientists to rapidly test ideas with clients. In weeks (not months), we validate feasibility, cost, and potential impact.
PoC to Production: We specialize in taking prototypes into production-grade systems, integrating with client data sources, APIs, and existing infrastructure.
Use Cases Delivered:
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platforms
Intelligent search & knowledge discovery
Predictive modeling and forecasting
Voice/agent systems for customer engagement
Generative AI for content and operations
2. High-Performance AI Teams (BOT Model)
Build: We recruit, vet, and assemble tailored nearshore teams (engineers, ML scientists, data engineers, DevOps, product leads).
Operate: Celara provides ongoing management, delivery oversight, and integration with client workflows.
Transfer: When the client is ready, the team can transition in-house, maintaining continuity and IP.
