The studio that runs what it builds.

An AI-native product team from the Philippines and Los Angeles. We validate in two weeks and launch in ten, and every product on this site is one we still run.

Where to start

Start from the problem you already have.

Pick the one closest to yours to see how we built it. Validate then builds a working prototype of the riskiest part of your version in two weeks.

Case studies

Seven products. Built, shipped, still running.

Each one started as a problem in one of our own businesses. Each case study shows the problem, what we built, where the AI is, how fast it shipped, and how the same pattern applies to yours.

The model

A studio programme at the speed of a product team.

Venture studios usually spend 8 to 10 weeks on validation alone. We take two, and finish with software you can use.

STOP 01

Validate

2 weeks · $15,000

We map the process, pick the highest-return thing to build, and ship a working prototype of the riskiest part. You leave with a fixed price for Launch.

STOP 02

Launch

6–10 weeks · from $45,000

A production product in your own accounts: data model, integrations and the AI pieces, with a demo every week.

STOP 03

Operate

monthly · from $8,000

We run and extend what we launched: scheduled AI jobs, reports, morning briefs, new features and monitoring.

STOP 04

Venture

4–9 months · by conversation

A new business line designed, built and run together. Fee plus optional equity.

How the businesses connect

The point isn't one app. It's how they're wired together.

01 · Data

Comes in by itself

Scheduled jobs pull from marketplaces, registries, phones and forms. Nobody exports a spreadsheet.

02 · AI

Does the first pass

It answers the call, enriches the lead, writes the weekly report and drafts the change.

03 · People

Decide

One morning brief, one task list, one approvals queue. Nothing external happens without a yes.

04 · Memory

Everything is kept

Decisions, data and code live in version control, so the next session or the next hire starts from the same place.

That's how one operator runs several businesses at once. It's also what most companies want from AI and can't get from a chat window. See the operator console →

Mindanao to Los Angeles

One team across the Pacific.

8.15° N · 125.12° E34.05° N · 118.24° W ~11,900 KM · ONE TEAM
Built for the field

Our first products were made for forest land in Mindanao, where there's often no signal and no second chance.

Engineered in the Philippines

A highly educated team, working with AI, ships in weeks what used to take a quarter.

Led from Los Angeles

Client leadership on US time, with working hours that overlap both sides of the ocean.

Our founder

Strategy from BCG. Code since Duke.

Lee Pearson started as an engineer who writes code, spent five years building new businesses for energy companies at BCG and BCG Digital Ventures (now BCG X), and now runs Wovoka from the Philippines. Every Wovoka Studio project gets that combination: the business case and the build, from one team.
