Iowa State University generates IP and spinoffs constantly. Turning that research into a real product requires more than a landing page.
What We Build
We don't sell packages. Every engagement starts with understanding how your business actually works, then building the system that fits it — not the other way around.
Full-stack platforms built to your exact workflow — not adapted from a template.
Internal tools that surface the right data and automate the right tasks for your team.
Automate decisions, surface insights, and eliminate repetitive work with purpose-built AI.
Custom storefronts and order systems that outperform anything Shopify can template.
Connect your existing tools so data flows without spreadsheets in between.
A clear technical roadmap before a single line of code — so you build the right thing first.
Local Industry Focus
Ames's economy has a specific character — industries, workflows, and challenges that generic software vendors don't account for. We do.
Why Ames Businesses Work With Us
Ames is one of the most intellectually productive small cities in America. Iowa State University's research portfolio — spanning animal science, agricultural engineering, materials science, and cybersecurity — generates a steady stream of startups, licensing agreements, and commercialization opportunities. The Iowa State University Research Park along University Boulevard has become a genuine tech cluster with over 70 companies. But there's a common pattern we see in Ames: brilliant researchers and domain experts who have a real product concept, early customers lined up, and no idea what they actually need to build first. We help Ames-based founders and research commercialization teams answer that question — and then build it. From MVP web apps to fully integrated SaaS platforms, we know the difference between a proof-of-concept and a product.
The Common Pattern We See
First-time technical founders in Ames often overbuild before they've validated, or underbuild and can't demo to investors. We've spent time with enough early-stage teams to know how to scope a first version that proves the concept, impresses early users, and gives you something real to iterate on — without burning your runway.
How It Works
A 30-minute call with Dillon costs you nothing and gives you a clear picture of what your project needs — timeline, budget, and what to build first.
