A family of software
companies.

A small, privately-held family of software companies. We build them ourselves and run them for the long term. Consulting, selectively, keeps the hands sharp.

§ 01 Consulting

Consulting, selectively.

Two clients a year.
01 / ARetainer

Embedded partner.

For teams building something we would want to build ourselves. We sit inside your stack, your tickets, your Slack — reviewing architectures, shipping prototypes, and setting up the evaluation scaffolding that keeps the work honest. Same hands that build our own companies.

  • TermMonth-to-month
01 / BRetainer +

Embedded partner, in-depth.

Same engagement, more time on your work. A longer weekly session, more architectural depth, and more prototypes shipped — for teams who want us closer to the build, not just the review.

  • Working sessionsWeekly, 240 min
  • Async channelSlack · < 24 hr SLA

  • TermMonth-to-month
01 / CSingle session

Deep-dive session.

One focused block of work, for teams we can help in a day. Bring a hard problem — a stuck agent, a broken eval loop, a shaky roadmap — and we leave the session with a written teardown, a 90-day plan, and, where it fits, working code.

§ 02 Principles

Principles.

How we operate

Constraints we have chosen to work inside.

01
We build the companies we own, and we operate them ourselves.

The default holding period is indefinite. There is no exit timeline.

02
The people doing the work have done the work before.

Every engagement is staffed by senior engineers. No juniors learning on the client’s budget.

03
We only take on work we would still want in twenty years.

Acquisitions and clients alike. If the problem won’t hold our interest, we pass.

04
We write the code we ship.

AI assists; humans decide. Nothing leaves our hands we can’t explain.
