Our Journey
We believe technology should reduce friction, not create more of it. Fivegrid was founded on the idea that powerful tools should be both affordable and approachable — especially for growing businesses navigating a fast-changing global economy. Whether you’re running a local service or scaling internationally, we’re here to help you do more with less by putting AI to work in practical, meaningful ways.
The story of Fivegrid began in 2022, in a one-bedroom apartment in Sydney — in the aftermath of a world reshaped by COVID. As industries pivoted toward digital solutions, we saw a clear gap: AI had the potential to change everything, but access to it was limited by cost and complexity. That realization became our turning point. What started as a small experiment has become a purpose-driven company helping businesses across the globe embrace intelligent automation.
