Building is easy.
Building something people want isn’t.
A product studio is a small, expert team built to run fast, iterative product experiments.
We provide design, development, and product management end-to-end.
Whether you're looking to launch something new, expand into new markets, or need extra bandwidth...
We work alongside you as an embedded product team that goes far beyond traditional outsourcing.

top Silicon Valley accelerators,

Release v1

Sho Yasuda
Lead Engineer / Lead Designer
From childhood, he taught himself how to build games and created dozens before going on to art school. He joined CyberAgent after graduation and worked on social games as both a designer and front-end engineer. He later went independent and single-handedly created The Lost Sky, handling everything from design to development, and showcased it at Tokyo Game Show.
Yamato Kaneko
Product Manager
After high school, he moved to the US and studied at UCLA. After graduating, he joined GREE and began his career as a product manager on large-scale social games. He then joined FOVE at the founding stage and led product development for an eye-tracking VR headset. He oversaw the product through mass production and global shipment.
The startup they co-founded was accepted into Techstars, one of the world’s top accelerators. Through rapid iteration, they launched multiple products and twice ranked #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt. Their edge is fast product development built on continuous experimentation and validation.

Let's build
We limit the number of products we take on
to ensure focus and quality.
While intro calls are always open,
we recommend reaching out early
as capacity becomes limited.
