EB28 software venture studio
We build the product before we ask you to fund it.

Opportunities can be structured around a single product, a strategic commercial partnership, or an acquisition.

Featured opportunity · Inspector Gadgets
Home inspectors should finish the report while the job is still fresh.
Inspector Gadgets helps home inspectors move from client intake and field evidence to a reviewed, ready-to-deliver report. It was built with York Home Inspections around the way Florida inspection work actually happens.
Less admin after every inspection.
Bring property research, photos, findings, signatures, required forms, and report delivery into one inspector-controlled workflow.
Usage today. Firm subscriptions next.
The live product already supports per-inspection and subscription pricing. The commercial rollout will establish the right package for firms.
Market context

Source: National Association of REALTORS® ↗The investment thesis
Save inspectors time on work they perform every day.
- The product is live, so capital can go toward customers and commercial learning instead of a speculative build.
- The value is easy to understand and measure: faster reports, quicker delivery, and more weekly capacity.
- Florida’s recurring insurance forms create a focused first market with a clear reason to adopt.
- Growth can come from more inspectors, more firms, additional state packs, and strategic software partnerships.
Where the business stands
A working foundation with a clear commercial next step.
The important distinction is simple: the product is built; the repeatable business is what the next stage is designed to establish.

The next stage will establish
- 01
The commercial rollout will establish the first paying-customer and revenue baseline.

The first 100 completed reports will document time saved and changes in weekly inspection capacity.
- 03
Early customer cohorts will establish retention, acquisition cost, gross margin, and support load.
- 04
Live beta pricing will be tested against firm willingness-to-pay and multi-inspector needs.
What the next capital unlocks
Turn a working product into a repeatable software business.
The immediate job is not to add more features. It is to win paying firms, measure the value they receive, and build a sales and onboarding process that can be repeated.

Bring in focused capital
Fund customer acquisition, measurement, and the few improvements that unlock commercial growth.
