# 5Lime Labs > 5Lime Labs LLC builds and deploys autonomous business departments — complete AI-powered organizational teams with Directors, Managers, Supervisors, and Specialists that run business operations 24/7 with human oversight built in. ## Company Overview 5Lime Labs LLC is a technology company that creates autonomous business departments for organizations of all sizes. Unlike traditional SaaS tools that provide features, 5Lime Labs provides entire operational teams — structured with real hierarchies, defined roles, reporting lines, and escalation paths. Every department operates around the clock, handles tasks autonomously, and routes critical decisions to human leadership. Founded in 2014 with deep roots in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, 5Lime Labs pivoted to AI infrastructure in 2022 when large language models became production-ready. Today, the company combines expertise in AI, blockchain, and business process automation to deliver autonomous workforce solutions. **Website:** https://5lime.com **Email:** hello@5lime.com **Legal Name:** 5Lime Labs LLC **Founded:** 2014 **Headquarters:** United States ## Core Offering: Autonomous Business Departments 5Lime Labs designs, trains, and deploys complete business departments that operate autonomously.
