Insights
Field notes from an innovation company builder. Since 2014 we have built and run our own digital companies – today they are AI-native. Here we share what we learn along the way: how teams adopt agentic coding, which tools fit which job, and how prototypes built with Lovable, Base44, Claude Code or Codex become real products in the App Store and on Google Play.
