Entity #13
Enterprise Capabilities. Main Street Prices.
Delegate Digital was founded to solve a structural problem: rural and small businesses need the same digital capabilities as their metro counterparts but cannot afford enterprise agency rates. AI changes that equation permanently.
Our Story
Delegate Digital is entity #13 in the Black Hills Consortium, a 13-entity holding company based in Custer, South Dakota. We exist because the same AI agent swarms that built 13 companies in 13 days can build enterprise-quality digital solutions for small businesses at a fraction of the traditional cost.
The traditional digital agency model is broken for small businesses. A basic website from a metro agency costs $10,000 to $25,000. CRM setup runs $5,000 to $15,000. Social media management costs $3,000 to $5,000 per month. These prices are built for companies doing $50 million in revenue, not $500,000.
AI-powered delivery changes the math. When AI handles initial design generation, content drafting, and responsive testing, our team can focus on strategy, customization, and the human judgment that AI cannot replicate. The result is a $3,000 website that performs like a $20,000 build. A $1,000/month automation service that delivers enterprise-grade workflows.
The Team
Luke Alvarez
Founder & CEO, Black Hills Consortium
Luke built 13 entities, deployed 711+ AI agents, and generated 430,000+ lines of code in 13 days using AI agent swarms. Delegate Digital is the digital services arm of that ecosystem — bringing the same AI-first methodology to every client engagement.
Before BHC, Luke spent years in technology and entrepreneurship, building the operational playbooks that now power every entity in the consortium. His approach is simple: use AI for everything it does well, use humans for everything it does not.
