Why BHC?

Three structural advantages that cannot be replicated.

AI Leverage

51 = 255

51 team members output like 255 through AI-native operations. Every role is amplified by AI — not replaced, but multiplied.

Owned Infrastructure

$0 Rent

15-acre campus in Custer, SD means zero rent across all entities. While competitors pay $50K+/mo for offices, BHC operates from owned real estate.

Zero Tax

0% Income Tax

South Dakota and Wyoming have 0% state income tax. Combined with low cost of living, every dollar goes 2-3x further than coastal operations.
