The workshop behind your company.
We build products for founders and, over time, a portfolio of companies we helped start.
Built at the overlap.
In Greek myth, Hephaestus was the smith. He didn’t sit on the throne; he made the things that let others win. We took the name because that’s the job we want: building the tools behind someone else’s company.
Look at our mark. One circle is you: the idea, the customers you understand, the drive. The other is us: engineering, AI and the habit of shipping. The shaded part in the middle is where the company gets made, and it belongs to both of us.
The people you’ll work with.
Led by an AI scientist and mathematician, with advisors from startup and global enterprise backgrounds.

Investors, let’s compare notes.
We meet promising founders early, and we take the build risk off their hands. If that’s useful to your fund or business, we should talk.
