Noss ben gobel. Râd-mant

Most studios start with a product and look for an audience. We start with the audience. Every project begins with building a community around the topic — before the MVP, before the landing page, sometimes before the idea is final. Pivots become cheap. Râd-mant is owned, not rented. Performance channels are the last resort, not the first.

I bain be hadhod. Padar-noth

Ed sui edhennen, ed sui padar, ed sui dorth, mar mîr dúrod — teithennen. Na had úann; na mîr-edhil be naergon; na bain sui mín pel. I noss ú quartal-haud. Enni i hadhod i padar i pellath thurin.

Atlas

Fintech / data-ops

AI-assisted data-ops layer for small finance teams. First paying customers; revenue still in pilot range.

MVP live

Tilt

Consumer / habit-coaching

Short-form, skill-based micro-coaching app. Strong organic loop; monetization currently in test.

Early traction

Mira

Kids / voice-first

Voice-first reading companion for children. Closed beta; unit economics not yet readable.

Research

B2C / family logistics

Async family-logistics tool. Peeled off Q1 2026 with its own team after clear PMF signals; now a standalone company.

Spun out · 2026

Oak

Fintech / gig economy

Financial tooling for gig-workers. Graduated in 2025, now operating independently with its own investor base.

Spun out · 2025

Lumen

SaaS / scheduling

B2B scheduling infrastructure for service teams. Acquired by a US scheduling platform; proceeds returned to the LPs.

Acquired · 2023

Helix

Kite

Consumer / social

Community app around shared hobbies. Organic loop stalled after the first cohort; the off-switch did its job.

Shut down · 2024
