01The studio

Most studios sell advice. We take an operating role: we find the broken workflow, test the price before the first line of production code, and stay until the company no longer needs us.

02Approach

Four moves.

01

Find the wedge

A market we understand and a workflow that is measurably broken. Desk research, twenty conversations, one written proposition.

02

Validate in the open

A working prototype in weeks, in front of buyers. Pricing tested before the first line of production code.

03

Build the product

Our team ships the first version: product, engineering, AI. An operating partner, not an advisor.

04

Hand over the keys

A founding team, a working sales motion, and a company that no longer needs the studio.

03Work

Three ventures.

Two still in our own book.
