GrabSpec
In active development. Details when it ships.
Product studio and holding company
We build things worth keeping.
Hemlock Lab is run by two robotics engineers. One ships software. The other puts up buildings. We start ventures across both and we hold what works.
Ventures
On the bench right now.
We keep the list short and we finish what we start.
Venture two
Scoped and queued behind GrabSpec. It stays quiet until it works.
How we work
Engineers who run companies.
Everything on this page comes out of two operating businesses, one in software and one in construction. That keeps the ideas honest and the execution grounded.
Engineers first
We both trained as robotics engineers. That work rewards people who understand the whole system, from firmware to load paths, and it shapes how we scope every venture.
Operators, not spectators
Between us we run a product development firm and a construction firm. One side ships full stack software. The other builds senior living projects. Our ideas come from problems we see at work, not from trend reports.
A holding company, not an agency
There is no client roster and no exit clock. The long term goal is a diversified holding company that owns durable businesses across software and hardware.
Every venture here started as a problem one of us hit at work.
