We are a small but mighty collection of thinkers, dreamers, and doers.
Our story all began with an idea. We wanted to launch a business, turning our college buddies’ bond into something more.
Once upon a time, in Ames, where Iowa State University is located, two friends shared the thrill of solving problems together, the late-night debates, and the shared laughter, all fueled by instant noodles and dreams of making a difference in the world. We’re the quintessential college buddies: passionate, a bit nerdy, and always up for a challenge.
Fast forward two decades. Life had taken us on different paths. One worked as an Oracle ERP consultant, while the other was a business owner delving into ecommerce. But something was missing. We longed for the camaraderie of our college days.
One fateful evening, over a virtual reunion call during the pandemic, we hatched a plan of combining our skills and starting our own IT service company. We envisioned a place where clients could find end-to-end solutions, from web development to data analytics, all under one roof.
And so, Ames IT Partners was born. Our mission? To bridge the gap between technology and businesses. We built websites that converted visitors into loyal customers. We also dived into datasets, unraveling insights that transformed businesses.
Running a startup wasn’t all rainbows and unicorns. There were sleepless nights, coding bugs, and client demands. But we persevered. Word spread. Soon, local and overseas businesses sought our services. A local bakery needed a website. A small ecommerce store craved data-driven insights. We also helped nonprofits track donor trends.
