Campgrounds
An industry run on phone calls, clipboards and tools that stopped getting better years ago.

Approach
We pick by the size of the gap, not the size of the market.
01
Follow the workaround
When people have patched over a problem for years, the patch becomes invisible. That’s exactly where we look.
02
Measure the gap
A big market doesn’t make a problem worth solving. A wide gap between how things work and how they should work does.
03
Build what’s needed
Some gaps need a friendly app. Some need regulated infrastructure. We build whichever one the problem calls for.
Portfolio
A portfolio that spans industries, without apology.
Regulated financial infrastructure
The plumbing under money movement, where compliance is part of the product.
Kids’ learning apps
Learning that holds a child’s attention and earns a parent’s trust.
Whatever gap comes next
The common thread is the gap, not the industry.
Campgrounds, financial infrastructure and kids’ learning have little in common except this: people had stopped expecting anything better.
