AI should give people more time for people.
NextStep Modern Solutions helps businesses across the UK and the United States put AI to work. This is how we started, and what we are building.
The two people behind NextStep.
Dan Kemp
Dan started building businesses in his teens, and founded NextStep on a single conviction: AI should create real, measurable value, not sit in a slide deck.
His depth in AI, and a sharp instinct for where it actually earns its place in a business, have quickly made him one of the most exciting young entrepreneurs in the UK.
AI should create real, measurable value. Everything else is noise.
James Hollis
James spent years building and running his own business in property and lettings, learning first hand what it takes to run a lean operation and where a team’s time really goes.
He joined Dan as a director and equal partner, and his network and commercial instinct have been central to how quickly NextStep has grown. He has opened doors to companies across the UK and the United States, and now runs the day to day full time.
AI should carry the busywork. People do what matters.
It started with one project.
One project.
James was running his property company when Dan came in to build him a single piece of AI. It was meant to be one job. It turned into the start of everything.
A partnership formed.
The work spoke for itself, and the two of them simply got on. James saw where AI was heading and what NextStep could become. He came on board as a director and took an equal share. Fully committed, both of us.
The business took off.
With both of them in, NextStep moved fast. What began as one build became a proper firm: auditing businesses, building custom AI, and staying on as their long-term AI partner.
The UK, and beyond.
Today we help businesses across the UK and the United States adopt AI properly, through hands-on training and custom AI development that does real work. And we are only getting started.
To put AI in the hands of the businesses that need it most.
AI should do real work.
Not demos. Not hype. We build AI that runs actual tasks inside a business and frees people from tens of hours of admin a week.
We are a partner, not a vendor.
We are in it with our clients for the long term. We audit, we build, and we stay on as their AI Transformation Partner.
We help people help people.
When a business runs better, it serves its own customers better. Our long game is to reach millions of people through the businesses we work with.
AI is here. Most will react.
The few with a plan will lead.
