How it works

Three steps, no sales team

01

Intro call (15 min)

We talk through what's actually broken in how your business runs — no deck, no pitch.

02

I build it in front of you

Working demos in days, not decks — you see real software before you commit to anything.

03

Built, hosted, managed

Flat monthly, one contact, no handoffs. I built it, so I run it.

Who's behind this

One person. The whole stack.

Will Burns builds, ships, and runs every system personally — no account managers, no offshore dev team, no handoffs between the person who sold it and the person who has to make it work.

18+ years in operations before writing production software, which is why the software fits how businesses actually run instead of how a sales deck imagined they would.

The Lab

What I build when nobody's paying

  • Elf Forest — A 3D browser game built with my daughter.
  • MealLens — On-device AI nutrition — point a camera at food, get real numbers.
  • Septic IoT telemetry — Tank-level sensors reporting straight into the CRM.
  • Meeting copilot — An AI that sits in on calls and turns them into next actions.

Let's talk

Tell me about your business.

Fifteen minutes, no pitch deck. Tell me what's broken and I'll tell you honestly whether I can fix it.
