01 - The Studio

A small studio with an industrial output.

Foundry 88 Labs LLC is the entity behind a growing catalog of software. We operate like a modern foundry: raw ideas go in one end, and finished, production-grade products come out the other: cast, refined, and hardened.

The model is deliberate. A tight, AI-accelerated build process lets us move with the speed of a much larger team while keeping full ownership of every product we make. No client work dictating the roadmap: just software we believe in, built to a professional standard.

  • ◈

    Owned end to end

    Every app is designed, engineered, and operated in-house. Full stack, full stack of responsibility.

  • ⚡

    Built to ship

    Real products in real hands, not demos. Web-first, installable PWAs and native builds.

  • ▲

    Engineered to last

    Typed, tested, and hardened. Security and reliability treated as features, not afterthoughts.

03 - The Approach

From raw idea to finished product.

  1. 01

    Cast

    Every product starts with research, scope, and honest unit economics. We validate the idea before pouring in the effort.

  2. 02

    Forge

    Design and engineering happen in tight, AI-accelerated loops: typed, tested, and shippable from day one.

  3. 03

    Temper

    We harden before we ship: security reviews, real-device testing, and reliability baked in as a first-class concern.

  4. 04

    Ship

    Products go live and stay owned and operated, improved on a steady cadence based on how people actually use them.
