An independent product studio.
We design, build, and operate our own software, take on a small number of client builds each year, and run The Lab.
Everything we have built.
A few questions, about two minutes.
Three kinds of work.
Deliberately narrow, and deliberately connected. Run separately, none of the three works as well.
Our own products
We design, build and run our own software, and we keep running it after launch.
Funds the studio, and proves it can build.
Client work
A handful of builds a year. We take on the ones we would want to own ourselves.
Pays for the first credits handed out in The Lab.
The Lab
Apprenticeship and incubation for new builders and early founders. Held by Mark Jim Group.
Returns builders who have already shipped something real.
How a project actually runs.
However different the work is, these three don’t change.
One person at a time
A build has one person on it, with enough uninterrupted time to hold the whole thing in their head.
Reviewed before it ships
Someone who has built and run their own product reads the work before it goes out.
You talk to whoever built it
No account manager in between. The person writing the code is the person you hear from.
Two shores, one studio.
Georgian Bay
Where the name comes from. Granite, pines, and a very long view.
Toronto
Across the water to the south. Where the work happens, and where the Lab will gather.
The first real project is the hardest one to get.
The Lab opens soon. Real work for new builders and early founders, under people who have shipped.
