GORGES
About us

Twenty years of building software, in Ithaca and beyond

We have been creating web-based applications for 20 years, with many great people on our team along the way. Here is who we are today, and how we started.

Company history

How GORGES started

GORGES was founded in 2003 by Matthew Clark (Princeton) and former CEO Christopher Grant (Cornell) in Ithaca, NY. Inspired by the natural beauty of the area, they named the company after its most recognized feature, the gorges. Over the years GORGES has grown into a full-stack development company with many long-term clients, successful partnerships, and ventures into new technologies.

Today that same team points 20 years of software experience at AI. Everything in GORGES AI Services is built on the discipline that kept our earlier systems running for years: scope it tight, build it to last, and prove the value before anyone has to trust it.

The work behind us

More than 80 businesses since 2003

From local shops to large organizations, the range of work is the point: the same discipline holds whether the client is a family business or Cornell.

GORGES AI Services is one part of GORGES

This site is the AI side of the business. On the main GORGES site you will find the full range of what we do: web and mobile development, web design, SEO, and 20 years of custom software for businesses around Ithaca and across the country. It is also where the wider portfolio and the rest of the team's work live. If your need goes beyond AI, that is the place to start.
