Twelve-plus ventures in motion.

A snapshot of what's running inside the studio right now. Internal ventures we own. Co-built partnerships we're running with outside founders. And the partners who've chosen to work with us.

A note on names. Every venture below is referenced by its internal project codename — the working title we use inside the studio before, or instead of, a public consumer brand. Public-facing product names (where they exist) are held separately and only shared under NDA with vendors, partners, and co-investors. This is standard practice for studio-stage work and it's how the majority of our portfolio is discussed externally.

Tier 01 — Internal

Ventures we're building ourselves.

Concepted by a FiduVentures team member, funded by the studio, operated by the studio. IP held by the studio. Each venture carries an internal project codename until it graduates to a consumer brand; the names below are the codenames as used inside the studio.

Project · N-01
Aria
EdTech

A zero-blue-light, low-stimulus learning tablet built for young minds.

Aria is a purpose-built tablet for children — a warm-spectrum, blue-light-free display paired with a deliberately quiet interface designed to hold attention without hijacking it. No infinite feeds, no autoplay, no reward loops. Adaptive lessons run locally, and screen-time governance sits at the OS level rather than inside each app. Currently piloting with families and independent-school partners across North America and Europe.

Lumen
Algo Trading

A recursive-learning pattern day trader for US equities, driven by a novel signal stack.

Lumen is a fully-automated intraday trading system for US markets. A recursive-learning model continuously re-fits itself against its own recent trades, and reads from a proprietary signal stack derived from chart-microstructure indicators — momentum, volatility regime, order-flow proxies, and multi-timeframe pattern recognition. Currently in prototype, paper-traded against live market data with our internal systematic strategies group.

Tessera
AI Apps

A modern property management platform for landlords, agents, and small operators.

Tessera is a full-stack property management system built for the way small landlords and agencies actually operate — tenant onboarding, rent ledgers, maintenance ticketing, document trails, and payments in one place, with an AI layer that handles the paperwork triage (lease flags, arrears follow-ups, contractor coordination) that would otherwise eat a portfolio manager's week. Currently in private beta with landlords managing between five and forty units.

Project · N-07
Mosaic
EdTech

Education analytics that gives school leaders a real-time view of what's working in classrooms.

Mosaic aggregates anonymized engagement signals across an entire school — not to surveil students, but to help administrators spot patterns (and intervene early). Started as an internal tool for Aria pilots; now standalone.

Verdant
Lifestyle & Wellness

Sustainable home goods with a small footprint and an honest supply chain.

Verdant is our line of home and kitchen goods made from recycled and rapidly-renewable materials. The first SKU shipped to a small set of DTC customers in late 2025. We're learning whether the sustainability story converts at retail.

Launch Consumer DTC
Project · W-05
Halcyon
Lifestyle & Wellness

A meditation companion that learns your patterns and adapts sessions to your nervous system.

Halcyon uses passive signals from a wrist-worn sensor to detect stress and adapt the next meditation session in real time. Currently in concept phase. We're exploring partnerships with two clinical research groups for validation work.

Tier 02 — Co-built

Ventures we're running with outside founders.

A founder brings the domain knowledge and the long-term vision. We bring capital, product engineering, sourcing, and the operational scaffolding. These are joint efforts — shared co-investment and shared decision-making on the product. Codenames are the studio-side working title; the founder team may run under a separate public brand where one exists.

Project · W-01
Pulse
Lifestyle & Wellness

A portable iontophoresis device, redesigned for the modern age.

Co-founded with a former cardiac nurse practitioner who spent eight years running clinical trials on wearable sensors. Pulse is a next-generation portable iontophoresis device — the decades-old treatment for hyperhidrosis, rebuilt around a compact rechargeable form factor, an app-guided treatment protocol, and a materials stack designed for daily home use. Currently in prototype with two dermatology-clinic design partners.

Kinetik
Smart Hardware

Movement-tracking hardware that turns any space into an intelligent training environment.

Co-founded with a former Olympic trainer. Kinetik uses a small set of cameras and edge AI to track form and give real-time cues during strength and conditioning work. Pilot running in two boutique gyms in Singapore.

Bento
Lifestyle & Wellness

An AI-powered smart home hub that respects privacy while still being useful.

Co-founded with two engineers from a privacy-focused consumer hardware company. Bento runs everything on-device — no cloud round-trips for voice commands. The hard problem is the supply chain for the custom silicon; we're working through it.

Quanta
Algo Trading

Market microstructure research for non-tier-1 Asian equity markets.

Co-founded with a former buy-side trader. Quanta builds the data feeds and execution logic that systematic strategies need to run cleanly in markets where the existing infrastructure assumes HFT-era US equities.

Project · A-05
Stipple
AI Apps

Voice and chat tooling for customer support teams who need to keep humans in the loop.

Co-founded with a former head of support operations. Stipple augments support teams rather than replacing them — AI handles tier-1 routing, humans stay on the complex cases. Currently in pilot with three mid-market SaaS companies.

Loom
EdTech

A writing tutor for non-English-first learners, with native-language scaffolding.

Co-founded with an applied linguistics researcher. Loom helps students learn to write academic English while keeping their first language as a thinking tool, instead of dropping it at the school gate.

Tier 03 — Partners

The founders and operators who've chosen to work with us.

What it's actually like to build with the studio. Names, roles, and venture codenames are shared where the partner agreed; anonymized where they didn't. These are real quotes, lightly edited for clarity.

The studio gave us a runway and a sourcing team in the same breath. We'd spent eighteen months on a different prototype and burned through our savings trying to find the right manufacturer. Within a quarter at FiduVentures we had a working pilot and three signed distribution partners.

RM
R. Mendoza
Co-founder, Project Pulse (Lifestyle & Wellness)

What surprised me about working with FiduVentures was how honest the no's were. They turned down two ideas I brought them before saying yes to the third, and they explained exactly why. I'd rather have that than someone who says yes to everything and figures it out later.

DK
D. Kowalski
Founder, Project Quanta (Algo Trading)

The thing I underestimated was the operational scaffolding. Legal entity, finance, supplier onboarding, hiring — all of it handled in-house. My role stayed focused on the product, which is the only thing I'm actually good at.

AY
A. Yoshida
Founder, Project Bento (Lifestyle & Wellness)

We've been working with FiduVentures for nine months across two ventures. Their sourcing team has access to manufacturers we couldn't reach on our own, and their QA process caught issues our internal team would have shipped.

Senior Partner
Asia-based VC, co-investor

The studio moved our pilot timeline from twelve months to four. Most of that came from the supplier relationships they already had — we'd been cold-emailing factories for six months without traction.

Bringing us in early

The earlier we get involved, the more we can move.

We respond to every inbound within five working days. Even if the answer is no, we'll tell you why and what we'd look for next time.
