Dawson Botsford

Hey, I'm Dawson

I'm a founder, AI consultant, and developer in Boulder. I build software and hardware for the AI era.

My current focus is On Premises: private AI systems that run inside a company's own building, so sensitive data never leaves it.

Previously, I was CTO at Bankless and founded Earnifi, which helped visitors find $1 billion in crypto airdrops. These days most of my time goes to AI, fintech, and tools that help developers move faster.

Building now: On Premises

On Premises delivers private AI to teams that cannot send their data to someone else's servers:

  • local inference on a dedicated workstation installed in your office
  • a chat interface with document upload for everyday work
  • OpenAI-compatible API endpoints so existing tools keep working
  • ongoing remote monitoring so the hardware stays healthy

It suits teams with compliance requirements or sensitive data who are already using AI but cannot prove where that data goes. Nothing has to leave the building for inference to work.

AI consulting

I help teams turn AI ideas into working products and better engineering workflows. My favorite engagements combine product strategy with hands-on implementation: prototypes, internal tools, automations, architecture, and the path from a promising demo to dependable software.

If that sounds useful, reach me on X.

Other projects

Project What it does Try it
Newly Filed Full-text search, watchlists, and an API over SEC EDGAR filings Open app
nr A tiny Rust task runner for JavaScript, Python, Rust, Make, Just, and more Install
RelativePath A VS Code extension for finding and inserting relative file paths Marketplace
essential-eth A compact TypeScript library for EVM applications Compare

Earlier onchain work

I spent years building Ethereum products and still maintain several useful open-source projects from that chapter:

Project What it does Try it
eth-labels Public EVM address labels with an API, datasets, and MCP server API
drain A non-custodial wallet migration and rescue tool Open app
txn.xyz Shareable, wallet-shaped URLs for Ethereum transactions Open app

I like shipping focused tools, measuring the difference, and keeping the implementation understandable. If one of these projects is useful, issues and pull requests are welcome.
