Common questions.
Everything I get asked enough to put on paper. If your question isn't here, email me. I'll answer it, then add it to this page so the next person doesn't have to ask.
Working with Elijah
Me. Elijah Purcell. There's no team, no account manager, no handoff. You deal with the owner from the first message to the final delivery.
Same day on email, usually within a few hours. If you need an answer urgently, call or text (205) 462-7839.
Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Purcell Ventures LLC is registered in Acworth, Georgia, where it was formed in April 2025, and it is operated from Tuscaloosa, where I attend the University of Alabama. Local clients here can meet in person, which is the part that is hard to do remotely.
For digital services, AI consulting, and software, yes, anywhere in the United States. For field work (gutter cleaning, pressure washing, lawn care), see Mantle Field Services, which is Metro Atlanta only.
For University of Alabama students and student-run businesses, $500, with an optional $25 a month to keep it maintained and updated. For other small businesses, ongoing digital service starts at $99 a month, which covers the site plus the tooling around it. Custom builds start at $1,500.
Sessions start at $125 per person. The first conversation is free and frequently ends with me telling you the problem is smaller than you thought, or that AI is the wrong tool for it.
Email elijah@purcell-ventures.com with a one-sentence description of what you are trying to do. Not what you think you need built, what you are trying to do. I'll tell you honestly if I can help and what it would look like.
AI Consulting
No. Most sessions are designed for people who've never used AI tools before. I meet you where you are and build from there.
A laptop or tablet and a willingness to try things. I'll handle everything else: setup, demos, exercises, and a takeaway guide.
Yes. I come to you. Your office, your team, your environment. That context makes the session more relevant and the examples more useful.
Most people use about 10% of what AI tools can do. I show you the other 90% — the prompting techniques, the integrations, the specific workflows that actually save time in your type of business.
Only if it makes sense. Consulting is its own thing. If I see something in your business I could build for you, I'll mention it. No pressure, no upsell baked into the session.
Typically 1–2 weeks for standard sessions. Custom trainings need more prep time. Reach out as early as you can.
Digital Services
Pick a tier — Starter ($99/mo + $400 setup), Growth ($179/mo + $700 setup), or Full Service ($279/mo + $1,000 setup). Flat monthly rate after setup. No contracts. Cancel anytime. All 25+ tools accessible from one dashboard.
Yes. The tiers are common starting points but every account is custom. Tell me what you actually need and I'll build the right combination.
Yes. Most clients are coming from a patchwork of Squarespace + Mailchimp + Google Forms + something. I'll move everything into one place during setup.
Your data is yours. I export everything to you in standard formats. No data hostage, no exit fees.
Custom Software
Web apps, mobile apps, AI integrations, browser extensions, automation tools. Best fit: clear problem + a single decision-maker + budget between $1.5k and $15k. If your project is bigger, I'll tell you honestly and refer you out.
Most $1.5k–3.5k projects ship in 1–2 weeks from kickoff. Full apps run 3–8 weeks depending on scope.
Yes. I work with Claude (Anthropic's AI) as a pair-programming partner, but every line that ships is reviewed and shaped by me. I own the work.
Yes, either as a fixed-bug-rate retainer or as ongoing feature development. We decide what works for both of us at the end of the build.
Courses
Self-paced. Every lesson is a video + a written takeaway. You can work through a course in a weekend or stretch it over months.
Yes. One purchase, forever. Including any future updates to that course's lessons.
30 days. If the course doesn't deliver for you, email me within 30 days for a full refund. No questions, no hard feelings.
Yes. Email anytime. I read everything.
About this company
Yes. I've been building production software for a year. The portfolio is real, the clients are real, and I'd rather earn your trust with the work than the age. The full record lives at /resume.
It's an inversion of Bentham's prison design, instead of a hidden watcher surveilling visible prisoners, the mark places PV at the center as the visible accountable party, with the structure radiating outward as accountability arms. The full explanation lives on the /about page under 'The Mark.'
Because it's a set of ventures, not a single business. Digital services, consulting, software, and real estate are different things being built and tested. 'Ventures' is accurate to what this actually is.
I do, it's a sister brand to Purcell Ventures, run under the same LLC umbrella but operated as its own service brand. Same owner, same standards, separate sales operations.
