Ministry of Product
We turn ideas into real, profitable businesses — building products of our own, and helping founder-led teams build theirs.
- The Venture Studio identifies opportunities, builds products, runs experiments, and incubates businesses of our own.
- Advisory & Consulting helps founder-led teams make better product, AI, and operational decisions — and builds the software when it’s the right move.
- Innovation Commons where anyone can work on an idea.

Venture Studio
We build, launch, and incubate our own products and businesses. Ideas become prototypes, prototypes earn users, and the ones that prove real spin out as companies.
That work runs on an Innovation Commons — an invite-only practice where builders explore ideas before they become companies, and ownership is earned through contribution rather than assigned upfront. It’s the engine that turns ideas into ventures.
Advisory & Consulting
We partner with founders and executives to turn vision into working software — using AI-native development to move faster than a traditional team could on its own. We bring the same judgment we develop building our own ventures: what matters now, what can wait, and where effort will compound versus stall.
Build — Embed as a product partner on new software ideas, from concept to live product. Product strategy, architecture decisions, and execution — so founders stay focused on the business.
Advise — For teams with existing engineers, fractional CPO or product lead: setting direction with OKRs, shaping roadmap, keeping the team building the right things in the right order.
Accelerate — Integrate AI tooling into your development process to cut the time and cost of building, testing, and iterating.
Ventures
A few of the ventures we’ve built and launched:
RolloMap
A local-first contact graph that puts your relationships back in your hands. Every device keeps a complete copy, so offline always works and nothing lives behind someone else's login. Imported details carry their provenance, an open sync protocol keeps clients and servers interchangeable, and the whole thing runs on infrastructure you can self-host — with optional hosted sync when you'd rather not.
View the venture →TrueUp
Remote expert guidance for skilled tradespeople. Video calls with AI-generated summaries, on-screen annotations, and automatic recording. Experts get paid for their knowledge; clients get professional documentation of every session.
View the venture →SoundPoints
Location-based audio experiences. Creators pin content to GPS coordinates; explorers unlock it by being there. Built for walking tours, podcast extensions, and site-specific audio art. Currently in beta.
View the venture →FortunateMatch
AI-powered event matchmaking. Attendees declare what they need and what they offer; the system surfaces the highest-value introductions in real time. Built for organizers who want networking that produces real outcomes.
