(The work)
Built, not bought
Software rather than websites. Two of these are ours: we built them for our own sales floor, use them daily, and opened them up so other people can too. The third belongs to a non-profit committee and runs their entire fair. If we are going to tell you to own your tools instead of renting them, we should be doing it ourselves first.
(Open them)
Built for our own sales floor first, then opened up so other people can use them too.
Their idea, their operation, their software. We built it and they own it.
(What they do)
Finds the businesses in your service area that are already spending money on ads.
Who it is for
Solo reps and small sales teams selling to local businesses, the mom-and-pop shops nobody has a list for.
What it does
Ranks the stages most likely to grow your business, then applies to them for you.
Who it is for
Speakers, coaches and founders who want the room, and have no idea which rooms are worth the effort.
What it does
Runs an entire volunteer-led country fair, from orientation to the gate.
Who it is for
A non-profit committee running a fair that used to live in spreadsheets, group chats and one person's head.
What it does
(The one we built for a client)
The Smoky Lake Pumpkin Fair is volunteer-led, once a year, and every year it used to start from nothing. This is what we replaced.
Intake, orientation and vetting run in one flow, so a committee member is not phoning people to explain the same thing forty times.
Every role across the entire event on one schedule the committee can see, instead of a paper list that lives in somebody's truck.
Sales online, codes scanned on arrival. No cash box reconciliation at midnight and no arguing about who already paid.
The grounds, laid out and explorable before anyone leaves the house. Nobody wanders a field looking for the pancake breakfast.
It belongs to the foundation, under their accounts, and it will still be theirs when the committee turns over. More on how we build for non-profits →
(Why we build our own)
Every tool on this page started as something somebody needed and could not buy at a price that made sense. That is the same reason a client ends up owning their stack instead of renting it, and it is why we know the argument holds. We have run it on ourselves.
(Where these are at)
ProspectRadius is live and we use it every week. The Pumpkin Fair app is live and ran a real event. StageRadar is still being built: the ranking works, the automated applications do not yet. We would rather say that here than let you find out after signing up for something.
If you want something like this built for your business, that is the actual offer. How owning the stack works →
Most of what we build starts exactly like this: a tool somebody needed and could not buy. Twenty minutes tells us whether yours is worth building.
