About Pando

A forest that is one tree

In Utah's Fishlake National Forest stands Pando: what looks like a forest of some 47,000 quaking aspens. It isn't. It's a single tree: one root system sprouting thousands of genetically identical trunks across more than a hundred acres. By weight, it's among the largest living organisms on Earth, and its roots have persisted for thousands of years.

That's the idea this studio is built on. Most businesses run on disconnected tools that merely stand near each other. The real leverage, especially with AI, comes from the root system: shared data, shared context, systems that feed each other.

Pando Forge is where those roots get made. We forge the connected layer, AI and full-stack software working as one organism, so every new capability grows from strength that's already in the ground.

One root system

Pando looks like a forest, but it's a single organism: every trunk fed by the same roots. We build your tools, models, and interfaces the same way, connected, sharing data and context, working as one.

Built to endure

Pando has stood for thousands of years. We favor boring-in-a-good-way foundations (typed code, tested paths, managed platforms) so what we ship keeps working long after launch.

Growth by design

An aspen grove expands trunk by trunk from roots that are already there. We ship a focused first version fast, then grow it, with every addition supported by the system beneath it.

Experience

Who's behind the forge

Pando Forge is led by Mark Zeitler, a technology executive who still writes code. He has spent his career founding and leading software companies, including growing a bootstrapped SaaS platform into an eight-figure business and guiding it through acquisition by private equity.

Connect on LinkedIn

As a CTO he has built and led engineering organizations at every stage, from first hire to acquisition, including serving as fractional CTO across a private equity portfolio and taking platforms through SOC 2 compliance. His work spans telecommunications, construction, e-commerce, and healthcare. Most recently he co-founded a healthcare SaaS company and built its production platform himself, including a multi-agent AI assistant that runs against live data with automated evaluation and testing behind it.

That mix is what Pando Forge offers: board-level judgment and hands-on engineering from the same person. You work directly with the person who designs and builds your system, start to finish.
