Venture studio
We build and back
software companies.
Actium builds products in-house, co-founds companies, and earns its equity by shipping.
Build
In-house products, engineered end to end.
Back
Equity positions in companies we help engineer from the inside.
Ship
Select engineering engagements where the problem earns the effort.
Portfolio
More in development, announced when they ship.
Websites
Ship engagements are mostly websites. A Squarespace or Wix site gets rebuilt as a static one that loads in kilobytes, costs nothing to serve, and ends up in the client's own accounts: domain, code, and hosting.

Evidence
9 checks stand between a change and this domain, and every number published here was measured by the build that produced the page.
