we are

Not a software agency.
Not a consultancy.
A venture studio that invests in what we build.

validation, development and investment

Three things that set us apart.

01

We validate before we build.

Every engagement starts with commercial validation. You know whether the idea is worth backing before a cent is spent on development.
Validate your idea
02

Strategy and build in one team.

No handover between a consultant and a developer. The team that defines the strategy is the team that builds the product.

03

We invest in what we build.

For select ventures, we back our work with sweat capital. Our return depends on your outcome.

WHO WE PARTNER WITH

You can see the opportunity. Most people in your position can't.

You've spent years inside your industry. You know where the friction is, where time gets wasted, where a well-built AI product could change how the whole thing works. You're not looking for a generic tool. You're looking for something purpose-built, grounded in how your industry actually operates.

But turning that insight into a product is a different problem entirely. The technical landscape is crowded and confusing. The risk of backing the wrong approach is real. And most of the people offering to help are selling a build, not a partnership.

That's the gap Mayfly fills. We bring commercial strategy, product design and AI engineering into one team, so your industry knowledge and our venture-building capability move together from the start.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE VENTURES

our thesis

Most AI projects fail before the build begins.

Not because the technology doesn't work. Because the idea was never commercially validated, the scope was never stress-tested, and the team building it didn't understand the industry it was entering.

Generic tools create incremental efficiency. Venture-grade AI that transforms industry operations requires deep domain knowledge, disciplined commercial thinking, and engineering designed for real-world conditions. It requires someone who understands both the problem and the product.
That's the case for a venture studio model. Not a consultant who hands you a strategy. Not a development shop that hands you a build. One integrated team, invested in the outcome, from the first question to the last line of code.

That's Mayfly.

HOW WE WORK

One team. No handovers. No coordination cost.

Most business owners who come to us have already tried piecing it together: a consultant for strategy, a designer for product, a developer for build. The result is three teams with three priorities and no single owner of the outcome.

Mayfly brings strategy, product, go-to-market, and engineering into a single team from day one. Decisions stay aligned. Context doesn't get lost. And because we invest our own capital into select ventures, our incentives are the same as yours.

You bring the domain knowledge. We bring everything else.
