To optimize for speed, precision, and efficiency, Entefy operates in four essential, interconnected “Forces”—Business Force, Growth Force, Talent Force, and Product Force.
The Business Force executes on Entefy’s strategic plans for capital and effective operations.

Talent Force has the important responsibility of ensuring success with Entefy’s human capital. And the human capital at Entefy consists of a global team with a unique mix of backgrounds from PhDs in STEM disciplines to experts in design, economics, and diverse areas of business.
Product Force at Entefy manages the entire technology stack from compute infrastructure to Mimi AI services to user applications. This includes advanced research, architecture, AI/machine learning, software engineering, data operations, and quality assurance. By team size, Product Force remains the largest within our organization, playing a pivotal role in fostering innovation and solving business problems for our customers.
