Venture studio & engineering practice

Our own ventures, and the hard parts of yours.

Primate Ventures is a small studio that works in two modes: launching companies of its own, and building product and technology alongside companies that need it done properly. Software, mobile, on-chain systems, and lately, machines that move.

Ventures & labs, in order of appearance

  1. An RPG for readers, built on the fact that people forget.

    Collect what you read, shelve it the way your real shelves work, keep your own files private, and see how much of each topic you have actually absorbed. Then beat forgetting, and level up.

  2. Creators, brands and the fans who back them, paid directly.

    Fans support creators and causes with direct donations, unlock perks, badges and exclusive content, and climb the leaderboard by showing up. Creators get a reliable income stream and the data to sharpen what comes next.

  3. Many small machines, one behaviour.

    Our research track. Coordination, formation and consensus for groups of simple robots, with the control stack built in the open and tested on real hardware. Early, deliberately.

Studio

Two modes, one team

A

Launch

We start companies from a question we cannot leave alone. Small team, real users early, no theatre. Kontoro and KOR Crew came out of this.

B

Build

We work alongside companies that need product and engineering done properly: strategy, design, and the code that ships. Sometimes as a partner, sometimes as the whole team.

Have a venture that needs building, or a problem that needs a team?
