Who we work with
We're building things in the world of AI.
We deliver hardware + software MVPs, shipped fast.
You have an idea that lives in the physical world and runs on a screen. We take it from napkin to working MVP — embedded systems, cloud, app. All of it.

Got the vision, the capital, or the network, but not the engineering? We embed as the technical half of your founding team. Equity, retainer, or both. Always accountable.
Let's talk→hello@from.studioPersonal software in the age of AI.
AI's changed software. Building what fits is easier than ever: custom platforms, AI workflows, internal tools. We're the partner who keeps it running.

Things people ask.
We're drawn to anything that lives at the intersection of physical and digital: IoT products, custom software platforms, AI-powered tools, brand and web. If it needs to be built well and shipped fast, we want to hear about it.
Yes, and we stay on after launch. We handle design, development, and deployment, then stick around as your technical partner for iterations, new features, and whatever comes next.
Yes. We help businesses identify where AI actually adds value, not just where it sounds good. Then build the workflows, integrations, and tooling to make it real.
For the right projects, yes. We embed as the technical half of the founding team: architecture decisions, early hiring, shipping the first version. We're open to equity arrangements, retainers, or a hybrid depending on stage and fit.
A focused MVP is usually 4–8 weeks. Larger builds like full platforms, hardware plus software systems are scoped individually. We'll always tell you early if a timeline looks like it's shifting.
Often. We're comfortable with ambiguity and napkin-stage ideas. The earlier we're involved, the more useful we can be. We help shape the technical direction, not just execute someone else's spec.
Tight feedback loops, async by default, a weekly sync when it's useful. You always have full visibility into what's being built and why. No black boxes, no surprises at the end of a sprint.
