Portrait of Arne Hendriksen

Architecture defines. Execution delivers.

Arne Hendriksen Founder & AI Architect

I build companies and products through MDBTQ, and help other founders put AI to work — from custom agents to the foundations that power them.

Background

I'm a founder and AI architect.

Over the years I've launched multiple digital products and built a diverse portfolio of web properties — some of which were acquired — while developing others into long-term assets. I've worked in senior technical roles while simultaneously building and operating my own ventures.

Today my work comes down to three things: founding and running companies, building products, and building custom AI solutions for companies that want AI to do real work inside their operations.

The products I build live inside MDBTQ, including Provostal: an AI operations layer that connects to the systems a company already runs. Where a company needs more than the standard product, I build it — a custom agent, a complete custom module, or Provostal shaped around how they work.

My interest in publishing and digital ownership goes back much further. In 1997, I founded an independent netlabel that is still online today — an early lesson in building things meant to last.

This site is where I document the ongoing work: companies, products, AI systems and the realities of building and running them over time.


What I work on

From structure to execution.

01
Companies

Founding and running companies, and the structure, systems and operations that keep them going. Today that's MDBTQ; before it, a portfolio of ventures and web properties — some acquired, others grown into long-term assets.

02
Products

Building and operating digital products end-to-end — from domain model and architecture to deployment and day-to-day operations. Provostal, an AI operations layer, is one of them. Built to last rather than to chase growth.

03
AI Solutions

AI built around how a company actually works: a custom agent for a single workflow, a complete custom module, or a full AI operations layer connected to the systems already in place. Often built on Provostal, and shaped to fit.
