The companies we start ourselves.

Some ideas we don’t wait for anyone to bring us. We notice a problem, build the product, and keep running it until it’s ready to be a company of its own.

Tell us your idea

What we’ve built so far

Each venture starts here and grows into a company of its own.

001

Toleds

It started with orders sent over chat.

Shops took orders in their inboxes. Riders worked out of message threads. Good places went unnoticed because there was nowhere to look them up.

So we built Toleds, one app where people find a place, order from it, and book a court, and where owners run the shop behind the counter. We still run it, and it’s on its way to becoming a company of its own.

A shop in the Toleds app: the Bean Box menu with its best sellers, their prices, and a cart of two items.

How a venture happens

  1. Notice

    It starts with a problem we keep running into, and no product we’d want to use for it.

  2. Build

    We build the smallest version that does the job and put it in front of real people.

  3. Launch

    It ships under its own name, to its own users, on its own accounts.

  4. Run

    We keep running it. When it can stand on its own, it becomes a company of its own.
