About

Bringing enterprise-level AI automation to small businesses in an accessible, practical way.

Our Mission

Our mission is to drive better business through AI that automates the repetitive and elevates the remarkable.

At Drive AI, we believe small-business owners deserve access to the same kind of tools big companies use, without the high costs. We're not here to sell software. We build systems that make a difference by first learning how your business works and then creating solutions that fit the way you operate.

Our team blends technical knowledge and small-business experience. We help cut out the busywork so you can focus on what you do best.

Meet The Team

Danika Pfleghardt

Co-Founder, Head of Operations & Technology

I am an Accounting and Artificial Intelligence student at Clemson University with start-up internship experience across business operations and growth strategy. I am passionate about helping small businesses use AI in ways that feel approachable and human, helping them serve their customers even better.

Reid Turner

Co-Founder, Head of Finance & Strategy

I am a Finance, Accounting, and Artificial Intelligence student at Clemson University with hands-on experience across Corporate Finance and Investor Relations at a Fortune 500 company. We co-founded Drive AI to bring that same level of organization to small businesses, helping owners save time and focus on what matters most.

Our Story

We are both sophomores at Clemson University, passionate about helping people and entrepreneurship.

We saw how AI could transform small businesses and created Drive AI to push AI to the forefront of small business operations.

Drive AI is built to give small businesses enterprise-level automation in an accessible, practical way. We believe every business, regardless of size, should have access to the tools that help them compete and grow.

What Our Clients Say

“Clemson is a hub for entrepreneurs but very few dive headfirst into starting a business while they are also full-time students. The Chamber can proudly say that Danika and Reid have not only taken that first step, but they have also delivered hard results that directly increased our efficiency and saved us money.”
