An umbrella for
serious software.

Actium is a venture studio founded by Dante Lee. It builds and runs its own software products, and it backs other companies by writing their code as part of the team.

Dante Lee builds software that ships and keeps running. He came up through data engineering: the pipelines, automation, and reporting systems businesses depend on. He did that work in manufacturing, higher education, healthcare, retail, and food and beverage.

In his experience, projects usually go wrong before the code, in the first conversation about what to build. He's spent as much time on people and problems as on the systems that solve them. That held at large organizations and at local businesses, where flaws and wins showed up right away. That fast feedback taught him to decide early and stay in scope.

Actium puts that into practice. It builds its own products, does the engineering for the companies it backs, and keeps a stake in them.

Actium owns its products and holds equity in companies currently in development. Each one is named here when it launches.

This site runs its own checks and publishes what it measures.

The companies Actium backs each began as a conversation with someone ambitious who needed an engineer. Actium still works with people that way, beyond client work, and anyone who ships with it gets named credit on that work's page.

Some of the studio's work is commissioned engineering, taken on case by case. If you have a project, start with the contact form.
