Remember the case in Vegas in season one? That was a Concierge Up case. Granted, I don’t have problems that complex, but O’Brien convinced me that if I had any problem, Concierge Up could help me out.Įven though you’d think that we hadn’t gotten to the Concierge Up part in Walter’s life on Scorpion, O’Brien shared that we’ve actually already seen Team Scorpion take on some Concierge Up cases. To me, this story is proof that sometimes you need a bunch of geniuses to help you out. While I was still wrapping my head around the question, O’Brien told me about how what the royal family really wanted was to bring Silicon Valley to their country before they ran out of oil. When I said as much to O’Brien, he just immediately went into what they did. I’m not even sure where to begin tackling that problem. One of them asked Concierge Up to “fix the education system in country.”Īnyone have any idea how you do that? No? Me neither. My favorite case that O’Brien told me about came from a royal family – that’s right, O’Brien has worked with five royal families. O’Brien explained that it works because Concierge Up “bring a level of kind of Military discipline to problems” that people don’t really use when tackling every day problems. Can you find all non FDA approved solutions outside of the US?” Can you find all foods that are odorless and tasteless but high in calories and fat? Or my mom has throat cancer. “Some of our clients reached out to us and starting asking us to fix non-technical problems - my daughter has anorexia. “To us, it was still a bunch of geeks fixing problems,” O’Brien said. What’s the difference between these two companies? O’Brien described it this way: “Scorpion solves any technical problem, and Concierge Up solves any funded problem.” When he says any funded problem, he means it.Ĭoncierge Up has tackled a variety of cases from people wanting a secret room in their house to picking a winning race horse based off DNA. According to O’Brien, this shift happened organically and didn’t feel like something they couldn’t handle. In addition to Scorpion, O’Brien also has a company called Concierge Up. “There’s almost zero reason to ever meet in person or there’s no advantage to you if we’re sitting in cubicles next other or not, as long we have a good laptop with a good connection to the Cloud,” O’Brien explained.

While on the show, Scorpion’s home base is a garage, O’Brien said the beginning of Scorpion was “in a house on a farm in Ireland.” However, O’Brien and his colleagues quickly learned that there wasn’t any reason for them to have a home base, so to speak. I had a chance to talk with the real Walter O’Brien about his companies, Scorpion and Concierge Up, and his work on the show, Scorpion. He’s wicked smart, has a little bit of trouble connecting with people, is basically in love with Paige, and he runs Scorpion which is comprised of a rag tag team of geniuses, or as Walter O’Brien described them, “a dysfunctional family of superheroes.” For those of us who watch Scorpion weekly on CBS, we feel like we know who Walter O’Brien is.
