Wrestling with AIs?
It doesn't need to be this hard.

There are lots of ways to create and manage new AIs. And there's plenty of software promising to help.

Unfortunately, most AI tools work great for individuals, but terribly for teams, especially ones that want to do new things either overwhelming, inadequate, bewildering, or chaotic. Right?

Why partner with Sage.is for open-source incubation?

At Sage.is OSVL, we're all about turning your bold vision into reality through hands-on technical incubation. We embed our open-source experts directly into your team to build, customize, and deploy OSS solutions that scale with you—no vendor lock-in, full ownership of your tech stack, and a collaborative path to launch. Whether you're bootstrapping an AI tool or scaling a dev platform, we make the journey smoother so you can focus on what you do best: innovating.

How long have you been around? Can we trust you as our incubation partner?

Sage.is is backed by Startr (aka OpenCo), a tech incubator that's been empowering startups since 2007. We launched our OSVL program in 2023, and we've been refining our open-source technical support model ever since, helping teams ship faster and smarter. We're committed to sustainable growth: profitable for 18 straight years, zero debt, and privately held for the long haul. Check out our public employee handbook to see how we foster a culture of trust and collaboration.
You can email Izzy Plante, our Co-Founder and CEO, anytime at izzy@sage.is. They rely on their personal Sage AI (Mini Izzy) for organization, so expect a direct, thoughtful response from them.

What about the reliability of your technical support and OSS solutions?

We back our incubation with rock-solid reliability—our open-source deployments and expert support have maintained over 99.99% uptime across two decades of tech projects. Track real-time performance and support SLAs on our Status Page, so you know your vision stays on track, even during rapid scaling.

What if our partnership doesn't fit after we start?

We're in this for mutual success, so we design flexible incubation paths. If things aren't clicking, we collaborate on a smooth transition—sharing all OSS code, knowledge, and resources we've built together. No hard exits; just open conversations to ensure you keep momentum toward your goals.

Can I ask the founders a question directly about incubation?

Absolutely. Reach out to our Co-Founder and CEO Izzy Plante at izzy@sage.is, or our Co-Founder and CTO Alexander Somma at alex@sage.is. They're hands-on with OSVL and love chatting about your vision—they handle their own inboxes (with a little AI help), so you'll get a personal reply.

Can we transition from proprietary tools to your open-source incubation model?

Yes, absolutely—we specialize in seamless migrations to OSS stacks. Our team provides guided audits, custom migration plans, and hands-on support to port your workflows, models, and data. Start with a pilot project to test the waters, then scale as your vision takes shape.

Is Sage open‑source? Can we self‑host?

Yes. Sage is open‑source with a permissive license. You can self‑host in your VPC or run on‑prem. We also provide a fully managed option with the same security model and data ownership guarantees.

How secure is Sage?

We have a full security write-up available on the Startr site. Startr is the company behind Sage.

We take security very seriously, and we’ve built Sage to be secure by default. We use the latest security protocols, including 256-bit AES encryption for all data at rest, and TLS 1.2 for all data in transit. We also use OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication. Moreover, for organizations that require it, we can provide on-premises deployment options to keep data entirely within your own infrastructure.

Is our data backed up? How often?

Data customers enter into Sage is stored in multiple, redundant data centers or securely on site when customers choose to use our own site solution. That data is backed up several times a day, and copies of those backups are stored both locally and off-site to further reduce points of possible failure. Files customers upload are stored off-site and backed up to servers in a different geographic region.

Where are the servers that store our data?

Our servers are located where our users need them. Either in neaby data centers or for security in their offices.

Do you support compliance needs (SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA)?

We align with common frameworks and can provide guidance for deployments that need SOC 2, GDPR, or HIPAA readiness. Self‑hosting lets you meet internal and regional requirements while keeping full control of data residency.

Can you fill our custom security questionnaires?

We don’t fill out custom security questionnaires, but we’ve prepared a summary security PDF which you can provide to your IT staff. We’re always happy to answer any questions you have directly.

Can I export our data if we ever want to leave?

Absolutely, you can do it as often as you’d like. Plus, it’s entirely self-service and easy so you don’t need to ask anyone for help or permission. Further, we provide it in a format that allows you to browse it in a web browser so it’s actually useful. Here’s how exporting works.

Is Sage for teams?

Yes. Open‑source plus onboarding means you avoid lock‑in and surprise bills. Many teams replace multiple tools with Sage’s agents, chat, tasks, docs, and files in one place — lowering total cost of ownership.

Does Sage have an API? Can we integrate with Sage?

What if we need more help?

Our partner support is considered to be among the best of the best (by us). Everyone who works on our team are expert specialists who know Sage inside and out, many having been with us for years and years, some over a decade. Further, we occasionally cycle every employee through support — including our CEO — so everyone has a chance to directly interact with customers.
You can ask support a question, or watch tutorials, or review the help guides, or attend a live walkthrough class and Q&A.

Is Sage available in languages other than English?

Currently offer Sage’s interface in hundreds of languages, although we have people in over 160 countries writing and sharing in their own native languages using Sage.

If we go with Sage, will we still need stuff like ChatGPT? Perplexity? Dropbox?

Nope, Sage.is AI engine replaces a whole set of separate products. Sage has chat built in (no more Slack, Teams). Sage has exceptional task management in the form of to-dos and RoundTable discussions (no more Jira, Asana, Trello, etc). And you can store and share all the files you need with your Sage.is AIs (no more Dropbox).

What kind of companies, in which industries, use Sage?

Sage is used by top notch teams, schools, designers, client services firms, consultants, software developers, freelancers, PR agencies, contractors, religious institutions, schools, non-profits, first responders, and many others who value organized, efficient work.
Our partners are primarily small or medium-sized organization with a few hundred members, but Sage is also used by teams inside many of the world’s largest companies.

What’s the developer experience like?

We onboard developers in minutes, not days. Straightforward. Clean REST APIs and SDKs, webhooks, and CLIs. Run locally, in your VPC, or on‑prem with the same APIs. No black boxes.
