A little about us

Some of our better work started on the second attempt.

We build useful things and stick around to make them better.

Here’s what we’re working on

Good things take time. We brought snacks.

01 / Things we’ve made

Good company.
Quite literally.

Most of this started with “surely there’s a better way.”

Occasionally there was. Occasionally we had to make one.

Other things we got
carried away with.

03 / Our philosophy

Build useful things.Own them patiently.Accept another try
off the first tee.

04 / A note on the name

The first one?
We don’t talk about that one.

A breakfast ball is a second shot off the first tee. No ceremony. Just another go, while everyone politely studies the trees. We thought that was a pretty good way to approach a business.
