The Manifesto

We believe in building things that matter.

We're not chasing trends. We're solving real problems for developers. Tools that save time, reduce friction, and make shipping software a joy.

"The best way to predict the future is to build it."
— Alan Kay, paraphrased and adopted

Operating Principles

These aren't just words on a page. They're how we build, how we operate, and how we compound value over time.

01

Build the Machine, Not Just the Output

Anyone can ship a product. We built the infrastructure to ship products repeatedly — from lead generation to valuation to exit. The machine is the moat.

02

Own the Stack

Every tool we use, we built. CRM, valuation engine, investor portal — all ours. When you control your infrastructure, you control your destiny.

03

Multiple Paths to Liquidity

Products exit. We retain maintenance relationships. The studio keeps running. This isn't a single-product bet — it's a portfolio of compounding assets.

04

Revenue Funds R&D

Studio revenue subsidizes product development. Investment accelerates launches, not survival. We're not burning runway — we're extending it.

05

Compounding is Everything

Each product we ship makes the next one easier. Each exit funds the next launch. Each investor update builds trust. Small improvements, applied consistently, create exponential outcomes.

06

Infrastructure Creates Leverage

We don't just build applications — we build the picks and shovels. Developer tools, automation, infrastructure. The highest-leverage bets in software.
