Platform Studio
We build platforms
people actually own.
Catalyst Studio creates software and services for local life and local services — and shares ownership with the people who build, operate, and grow them.
Revenue-generating. Operator-led. Trust-anchored.
Software + Services,
Under One Roof
Most companies sell software or deliver services. We do both — because the best platforms are built by people who understand real-world work.
Platform Software
We build SOFE — an operating system that helps people organize their life and work. Individuals and service providers use it daily.
Managed Services
We install and run the infrastructure so our customers never have to. Setup, automation, ongoing operations — handled.
Shared Ownership
Builders, operators, and partners earn real equity in what they help create. We share the upside with the people who do the work.
SOFE
The Core Platform
One operating system for people who want to stay organized, get things done, and coordinate the services they rely on.
For Individuals
Daily priorities, routines, follow-ups, and life admin — synthesized into one system you actually trust.
For Service Providers
Manage your work, coordinate with clients, and grow your business — without the admin overhead that slows you down.
For Communities
Buildings, HOAs, and local organizations can coordinate residents, vendors, and services in one place.
Owned, Not Rented
SOFE offers lifetime licenses. You own your system and your data — no subscription treadmill.
Grounded in
Real Usage
We're not starting from zero. Our platform has already been used by real operators, with real customers, generating real revenue.
