Founded in 2018, the company serves clients ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 corporations, operating delivery teams across the United States, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Dualboot is best known for its proprietary DB90 development methodology and its AI-powered legacy code migration tool, 3PO, which is available in the AWS Marketplace.
History
[edit]Founding (2018)
[edit]Dualboot Partners was founded in 2018 by Todd Buelow and Daniel DelaCruz in Charlotte, North Carolina. Buelow, a Penn State graduate with over 20 years of experience managing digital products, had previously co-founded several technology ventures including Castle Digital Partners and Cloud Logistics. DelaCruz holds a B.S. in Organizational Development from Vanderbilt University and a Master of Accounting from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and brings experience in guiding companies through growth and organizational transformation.[1]
The company was established to provide on-demand product design and engineering services, with a philosophy of scaling engagements to match each client's stage and velocity — "start small or scale fast."[1]
Growth and geographic expansion (2019–2022)
[edit]Dualboot Partners expanded beyond its Charlotte headquarters to establish a second office in Raleigh, North Carolina, positioning itself within the broader Research Triangle technology ecosystem. The company grew its delivery model to include international engineering teams in Latin America and Eastern Europe, enabling round-the-clock development capacity for its clients.
By 2022, Dualboot had grown to a staff of over 200 and had been recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in the Charlotte region, earning placement on the Charlotte Business Journal Fast 50 list — an annual ranking of the Charlotte metropolitan area's highest-growth private companies.
Product development and AWS partnership (2023–2025)
[edit]Dualboot Partners expanded its product portfolio in 2023–2024 with the development of 3PO, a proprietary generative AI-powered tool designed to automate the migration of legacy codebases to modern architectures. The tool supports multiple programming languages including Java, Python, and C++, and is capable of completing modernization projects up to 35 percent faster than conventional methods.[2]
In June 2025, Dualboot Partners signed a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS), focused on empowering small and medium-sized businesses to adopt cloud infrastructure at scale. As part of the agreement, Dualboot achieved the AWS Small and Medium Business Competency designation, granting deeper access to AWS go-to-market programs. 3PO was subsequently listed in the AWS Marketplace under the AI Agents and Tools category.[2]
In December 2025, the company announced two senior leadership appointments: Billy Boozer as Chief Technology Officer and Stephanie Cheney as Vice President of Strategy and AI, reflecting its continued investment in enterprise AI capabilities.[3]
Recognition (2024–2025)
[edit]Dualboot Partners was ranked No. 4004 on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies in 2025.[4] In 2024, the company was named a finalist for the NC TECH Awards in the IT Services Company of the Year category — North Carolina's only statewide technology awards program, administered by the North Carolina Technology Association.[5] That same year, it was also named No. 49 on the Charlotte Business Journal Fast 50 list.
Business model and services
[edit]Dualboot Partners operates as a full-service product development firm, providing integrated strategy, design, engineering, and AI services under a single engagement model. The company's approach is built around its proprietary DB90 methodology, an AI-augmented development process that combines product thinking with engineering execution to accelerate time to market.
Core service offerings include:
- Custom software development — end-to-end product builds for web, mobile, and enterprise platforms
- AI and machine learning development — model integration, agentic workflow design, and AI strategy
- Cloud modernization — legacy system migration and infrastructure uplift, primarily on AWS
- Data and analytics — data architecture, pipelines, and business intelligence solutions
- Security services — application and infrastructure security assessments
- Digital marketing — performance marketing aligned to product launches
The company also operates a business-to-business segment serving healthcare, logistics, fintech, and proptech clients, with experience in both brand-new application builds and critical "rescue missions" for failing software projects.
Products
[edit]DB90
[edit]DB90 is Dualboot's AI-driven development methodology, designed to compress product development timelines by embedding AI tooling across each phase of the software lifecycle — from discovery and design through engineering, QA, and deployment. The methodology underpins all client engagements and internal product development.
3PO
[edit]3PO is a generative AI-powered legacy code migration and modernization tool developed by Dualboot Partners. It analyzes existing codebases, interprets legacy logic, and translates it into modern, cloud-ready architectures. Key capabilities include AI-powered code analysis, automated migration pipelines, and support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for agentic communication. The tool is commercially available via the AWS Marketplace under the AI Agents and Tools category.[2]
