About Us

An extension of your company.

Since 2007, we’ve been the digital department for businesses that don’t have one. And the trusted partner for those that do.

The Founder

Thirty Years at the Edge of What’s Next

David Oralevich has spent his career at the intersection of business and technology, not as a spectator, but as a builder. He rode the first wave of the commercial Internet in the late 1990s, managing divisions and sourcing technology while most businesses were still learning to spell “e-commerce.”

In 2007 he founded Designs By Dave O., a digital agency that has spent nearly two decades helping businesses compete, grow, and adapt online. He knows what it costs to build something from nothing, and what it takes to keep it running.

Then came AI. Two years before the mainstream moment, David was already in the room, working directly alongside senior engineers at leading Israeli AI startups, watching the innovation happen before it hit the headlines. By the time ChatGPT became a household name, he had already built and deployed real systems.

What he saw next changed the trajectory entirely: the personal AI agent. Not a chatbot. Not a productivity tool. A system that operates inside your business, learns your operation, and works autonomously on your behalf, 24 hours a day, without a salary.

That’s why he co-founded Apollo[Claw]. Not to sell software subscriptions. To sit across from business owners and executives, understand exactly what is eating their time and costing them money, and build the AI infrastructure that solves it. For real. Right now.
