Helping American companies build and scale modern software with AI.

Periscoped was founded by Terry MacGregor—a naval officer turned software entrepreneur who spent years building startups before AI changed everything.

Before the current AI revolution, Terry founded and built multiple technology companies from the ground up. He led engineering teams across industries—from defense contracting to healthcare to fintech—and saw the same pattern everywhere: companies struggled to build software fast enough to keep up with their ambitions.

Drawing on his experience as a naval officer, where clarity and precision were matters of life and death, Terry built Periscoped around a simple principle: speed without chaos. The teams that move fastest aren't the ones that cut corners—they're the ones that eliminate friction.

When AI emerged as a transformative force in software development, Terry recognized the opportunity to apply decades of startup-building experience to help companies navigate this new landscape. He assembled a team of engineers who specialize in AI, modern architectures, and rapid delivery—and empowered them to run the day-to-day operations.

Today, Terry remains involved as founder and strategic advisor, while Periscoped's experienced team handles client engagements and delivery. The company continues to partner with organizations who refuse to accept "good enough"—building software that actually ships, actually works, and actually moves the needle on their business.
