“AI is transforming everything—how we work, how we operate, how we serve customers. Shield’s work in building AI-driven products are initiatives that we had envisioned but didn’t have the expertise or bandwidth to execute.”

“What really confirmed Current being the right choice for us was understanding that we get to keep our identity, our culture, and our ability to make decisions about growth, as well as continuing to get distributions. Looking forward, what makes me most excited is the access to technology, the network of other partners, and their ability to provide capital in a fast-moving market.”

“Current stood out because they enabled us to remain the firm that we are—what we do for our clients, our entrepreneurial spirit—but still really assist us with helping us grow. Current, to me, is an extension of who I am now.”

“The support we receive has far exceeded my expectations. Analytics, pricing, advanced lead nurturing… things we didn’t even think of implementing. It’s given us new visibility and a new perspective on our business.”

“We spent years looking for a partner that matched our innovative mindset. Then we found Shield—they shared our values of agility, scalability, and client focus. With Shield, we’ve stayed autonomous while gaining the strength of a larger, forward-thinking IT organization.”

“Being acquired by Rocket Youth was great for us financially, but more importantly, it’s been a steppingstone for us to achieve the things we couldn’t do alone.”

“I am most excited about the technology and AI. They gave us an AI tool that has allowed me to drastically reduce the amount of time I spend researching complex tax and accounting issues, so it’s really been a gamechanger.”
