One way of building, whatever the market.
Software testing, a mood diary, medicinal mushrooms. The markets could not be more different. The way we build a company is the same each time: find a real need, build the product, run the business.
Two ways we build.
Most of what we do is our own. Some of it is with partners. The team and the way of working are the same.
Own ventures.
We find the need, build the company and run it. Every company gets its own name, brand and market, and Adriato stays behind it. Qadrillion, Reflct and Fungyu all started this way.
The ventures →Partner builds.
We build a company together with you. You bring the market and the ambition. We bring the team and a way of building that has done it before. How we work together is set case by case, as co-founders or as builders.
Build with us →From an idea to a running company.
Three stages, the same for our own companies and for partner builds. Months for the first two. Years for the third.
Find.
Every company starts with a need we can see up close. We talk to the people who have it, test the idea cheaply and decide whether it deserves a company.
Build.
A small team ships the first product in months, not years. Name, brand, product and first customers, all at once, so the company is real from the start.
Run.
We operate what we build. Growth, operations and the daily work of a real company, for as long as it deserves to exist.
What a company gets from the studio.
The team that built and runs our own companies, on the new one from day one.
Strategy and validation
Market research, customer interviews and a business model before the first line of code.
Product and engineering
Web, mobile and AI products, built by a team that has shipped them before.
Brand and design
Naming, identity and a website that can stand on its own from day one.
Growth and go-to-market
Positioning, launch, channels and the first hundred customers.
Commerce and fulfilment
Storefronts, supply and delivery for products you can hold in your hand.
Company operations
Setting up the company, finance, tooling and the routines that keep it running.
Five things we hold to.
Written down so we can be held to them, by partners and by ourselves.
We build to keep.
We are not building companies to hand over in eighteen months. We start them to run them, and everything about how we work follows from that.
Real before big.
A first paying customer teaches more than any plan. We start small enough to launch and real enough to charge for.
One studio, many markets.
Software, a consumer app, food. The markets differ. Finding a need, building a product and running a business do not.
Names of their own.
Each company gets its own name, brand and market. It should stand without the studio in front of it.
Plain over clever.
The simplest version that works usually wins. We choose it, and we say why.
Build with us.
Own ventures come first. When there is room, we build a company with a partner the same way we build our own: same team, same way of working, your market. Tell us about the market, the idea and where you are with it.
