# The Connectors Group

> The Connectors Group builds AI systems that make North Texas small businesses easy to find, easy to refer, and easy to hire. Founded by Jon Madl, the firm diagnoses what is actually holding a business back, connects owners to the right people, and builds the systems that run the work.

The Connectors Group is a North Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth) firm serving small business owners and business development professionals. Every engagement starts with a structured discovery session and a documented diagnosis, yours to keep whether or not you work with the firm.
