We're a small team that likes working with other small teams. Cafés, salons, contractors, studios, clinics, family shops — the kind of business where the owner still knows every customer's name. We build software that fits how your business actually runs, and we wire up the boring parts so you can stop copying things between tools at 9pm.
If you're a Fortune 500, we're probably not your best fit. If you're a mom-and-pop shop, we'd love to talk.
Most small businesses we meet have a handful of jobs that eat hours every week — copying orders into QuickBooks, chasing Google reviews by hand, texting appointment reminders one at a time, re-posting the same update to five different feeds. None of it is hard. All of it adds up.
We take a look at where the time is leaking and quietly plumb those jobs together so they run on their own. A few of the things we can set up:
How it works: a free twenty-minute conversation, a look at where time is leaking, and a proposal for the two or three changes with the biggest payback. No long contracts, no big-bang rollouts. We start small, and we build outward from what's working.
Websites, internal tools, customer-facing apps, little SaaS experiments, the one odd thing you've been wishing existed for years. We've built across most of the stack and most of the industries, and we're happiest when we're solving a specific problem for a specific person rather than building platforms for imaginary users.
We start with a conversation about what you actually need. Sometimes that's a new app. Sometimes it's a weekend of work on something you already have. We'll tell you honestly which one it is.
A few things we've built: our products page, asyncplanningpoker.com, and shuffl.fm.
We work best with owner-operators, local service businesses, and small teams of under about fifty people. If you're a two-person bakery, a four-chair salon, or a family contracting outfit where everyone still wears a lot of hats — that's our happy place.
We don't do enterprise process automation. No SOC 2 rollouts, no SAP migrations, no procurement portals. Plenty of good firms do that work; we're not one of them.
A few lines is enough to get started. We usually reply within a day or two.
