About
Five partners. One mission.
We grew up around people who built businesses with sweat equity — contractors who started with a truck and a toolbox, restaurant owners who fed their communities for decades, caregivers who built reputations one client at a time.
These businesses weren't built in boardrooms. They were built on job sites, in kitchens, in living rooms. They were built by people who showed up, did the work, and earned trust the old-fashioned way.
But the tools that can amplify their work — digital presence, automated systems, strategic positioning — feel foreign, expensive, or designed for someone else. The gap between mastery and visibility is growing wider every year.
Proxima Edge exists to close that gap. Five partners with 50+ combined years across cloud, security, infrastructure, AI, and corporate strategy. We're not here to disrupt or replace what you've built. We're here to carry it forward.
This isn't a venture-backable model. This is a practice built to serve people who matter, solve problems that matter, and do it with integrity.
How we work
Our philosophy
Understanding before solutions
We don't show up with a predetermined playbook. We spend time understanding the real problem behind the stated problem.
Fortune-500 strategy at family-business prices
Our AI-powered consulting framework gives us the analytical depth of a $50K engagement for a fraction of the cost.
Show, don't sell
Every engagement starts with a free pre-engagement package. If it resonates, we go deeper. If not, no hard feelings.
Start small, prove value, scale what works
We find the highest-impact, lowest-friction intervention first. Once they see it working, the bigger moves feel possible.
Tech as a tool, not the goal
Your clients don't need "digital transformation." They need their phone to stop ringing during dinner.
Empathy, honesty, action
We meet people where they are. We tell them the truth. And we always end with a clear next step.
The team
Real people. Real expertise.
Brandon Derricott
Founder & Operator
Grew up watching family build businesses with grit and sweat equity. Now he builds the systems that help those businesses last — AI automation, workflow architecture, and strategic consulting designed for operators who'd rather be working than managing software.
Larry Carter
VETERANCo-Owner & SDVOSB Qualifying Partner
U.S. military veteran with an 80% VA disability rating. Larry's service anchors Proxima Edge's SDVOSB certification, opening federal doors for every client in the network. Cloud infrastructure, network operations, and a steady hand tested under pressure.
Anthony Sinclair
Infrastructure Partner — Facilities & Cabling
Keeps buildings running and businesses connected. Anthony manages facilities for residential complexes while building the physical backbone — fiber optic, structured cabling, low-voltage installations. He understands what operators deal with because he is one. When the work demands hands in the ground and precision at the terminal, he gets the signal through.
Wale Owaede
Infrastructure Partner — Security
Stands between your business and the threats you can't see. Palo Alto PCNSE-certified, Wale designs, deploys, and hardens enterprise firewalls and security infrastructure — so operators can focus on building, knowing someone's watching the gates.
Kyle Sweatman
Advisory Partner — Corporate & Legal Strategy
Keeps Proxima Edge built right so it can grow right. Kyle is a corporate attorney with deep experience negotiating enterprise-scale deals, structuring partnerships, and navigating corporate governance. He advises PE on operating agreements, partnership structure, compliance, and the strategic decisions that separate businesses that last from businesses that break.
