A product studio & small-business investor

We build & back
small businesses.

We're founders and operators on a mission to reimagine what software — and small business — look like in the age of AI.

What we build

A working fleet.

Here are some of the things we're building.

Ledger

FOUNDER

A personal CFO for people with complicated compensation — RSUs, rental properties, real tax math.

Switchbard

FOUNDER / OPEN SOURCE

One window for every agent, worktree, and port on your machine. We built it for ourselves, then open-sourced it.

Cloud-Based Music Production

FOUNDER

A full studio in the browser, built for serious producers — no desktop required.

Event Ticketing Automation

CLIENT WORK

Automated quoting and pricing for an event-ticketing operator.

SEO & Lead-Funnel Analysis

CLIENT WORK

A search-visibility and lead-funnel audit for a kitchen remodeling business, quantified and presented to the owner.

+ MORE IN THE YARD

If Ledger's colors feel familiar — deep tidal blue, marsh copper — they come from the same water this page does.

Work with us

A small studio that ships like a bigger one.

Idea to operation

We take products the whole way — design, build, deploy, and run in production. Not decks, not prototypes that die in a drawer.

Built like we own it

Every engagement gets the same standards as our own products: tight security, honest tradeoffs, software that an operator can actually live with.

AI-native, operator-led

We build with a fleet of AI agents directed by experienced operators. It's not a gimmick — it's why five products stay in motion at once, and why our pace surprises people.

Need a product built — customer-facing, internal tooling, or automation that pays for itself? Tell us what you're trying to build.

What we back

Why sell your business to a software studio?

Most buyers show up with a spreadsheet. We show up with the kind of thing you see above — software that finds customers, speeds up the back office, and shows you where the money actually goes.

We think the best small businesses of the next twenty years will be the ones that get modern tools without losing what made them work. So we buy to keep, we run what we own, and we stay close to home — mostly the Tri-State.

If you're thinking about selling — now or a few years from now — reach out. No pressure, just a conversation.

Founder

“I spent years in strategy and operations at a Fortune 100 company — scaling teams, fixing what was slow, learning how good businesses actually run. Menantic Creek is where I do the two things I care about most: building products, and backing the operators who build everything else.”
