Explore the space
We lean on research sprints and AI assistants to understand a domain, gather signal, and decide if it’s worth a one-week push.
AI venture lab
We ship products,
not pitch decks.
Updates on what we're working on and what's next.
Our working loop
- DefineIdentify the problem and success metric.
- DesignCo-design with AI to draft product and brand.
- BuildCreate a usable prototype end-to-end.
- RefineRun feedback loops and tighten the story.
- ShipShare progress—even if it's rough—and reset.
How Thingg.co works
Build the loop
Instead of polishing endlessly, we automate the boring parts and focus on shipping a functional prototype that people can actually try.
Tell the truth
Every Friday we share what worked, what broke, and whether the idea earns a second week. No vanity metrics—just the raw build log.

You tell us
We’re collecting honest feedback about what’s missing for builders—hit reply if something bugs you every week.
Questions? We’ve heard a few.
Do you keep equity in the companies?
Once we ship something worth continuing, we’ll figure out the fairest structure. Until then, there’s nothing to split.
How do you choose what to build?
We run small research loops, talk to potential users, and only commit when we find a real problem we’re equipped to attack in a week.
Can I collaborate on a launch?
We’d love that. If you have domain expertise or a gnarly problem we should tackle, send a note and we’ll explore it together.
