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

An adaptive learning companion that gives every student one-on-one attention at classroom scale.

Aria adapts to each learner's pace in real time, surfacing the next question based on what the student just answered and how the rest of the class is doing. Currently piloting with district and independent-school partners across North America and the UK, with a smaller cohort in Southeast Asia used to stress-test scale and thin infrastructure.

Lumen
Algo Trading

Infrastructure for systematic strategies. The boring plumbing that makes quant work.

Lumen is the backtesting and execution system we built for our own quant team and started licensing to two external funds. Designed for non-tier-1 markets, where the existing tooling assumes you're trading US equities on a Tier-1 venue.

Prototype Software B2B
Project · A-02
Tessera
AI Apps

Modular AI tooling that creators can compose without writing a single line of code.

Tessera is a builder environment for creators who want AI capabilities in their workflow but don't want to maintain their own prompt engineering. Currently in private beta with ~80 creators across content, marketing, and product roles.

Pilot Software B2C
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.

Project · L-03
Verdant
Lifestyle

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.

Project · W-05
Halcyon
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
Wellness

A connected wellness wearable that learns the user's patterns and surfaces what matters.

Co-founded with a former cardiac nurse practitioner who spent eight years running clinical trials on wearable sensors. Pulse is built on the insight that most wearables show users data — Pulse suggests what to do about it. Currently in prototype with two design partners.

Project · H-02
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.

Project · H-04
Bento
Lifestyle

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.

Prototype Software Co-built
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.

Project · N-03
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 (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)

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.
