Introduction

Mountaineer is a global AI consultancy company, based in Oulu, Finland, established in 2025, with consultants across Finland, Lithuania and Japan.

Our focus areas include the planning, design, evaluation and auditing of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) systems.
We work with clients who are currently exploring how they can benefit from GenAI, or already use GenAI but would like to improve their existing product or service, or would like to evaluate it. We also partner with trusted AI vendors and AI engineering businesses, who we connect with our clients.

Core principles

Read about our three most important values. We pursue these in our own work, and we encourage partners who share these values to work with us.

Human-Centered Technology

We believe AI should amplify human potential — not replace it. That means designing systems that take over repetitive or complex tasks, while preserving space for creativity, intuition, and human expression. Our approach is grounded in empathy, usability, and long-term impact — ensuring that AI aligns with what truly matters to people.

Scientific Excellence

Many of our team members come from academic research backgrounds, and we carry that rigor into everything we do. We believe in science — and in open science. From model evaluation to system design, we apply evidence-based thinking, stay grounded in the latest research, and openly share insights to push the field forward responsibly.

Global Progress

We are an international team working across borders and time zones, shaped by a wide range of cultures and perspectives. We understand the need for AI systems to be context-aware, inclusive, and adaptable — contributing to progress not just in one region, but in a way that resonates globally, and responsibly.
