Homeboard

Independent technology studio · Est. 2021 · British Columbia, Canada
We build AI-native products that solve real, tangible problems.
§ 01
Portfolio
A small portfolio, built with care.
Each is its own company in spirit, its own audience, its own product surface, its own market. They share a parent in us, and a belief that AI changes what's worth building.
BuyForBaby
Baby registry · Canada & India
A smart, modern baby registry for Canadian and Indian families. AI helps new parents build the right registry, not the longest one, with safety scanning, price tracking, and family-friendly sharing.
TripWiz
Travel · Group-first
An AI-native travel companion built for the way people actually travel, together. Plan as a group, split the receipts as you go, and skip the spreadsheet at the end.
FitCircle
Fitness · Social competition
A social fitness platform for the friend-group accountability circle. Compete on streaks, not vanity metrics. Native iOS, Android and web, built for the people who actually show up for each other.
Beta · Invite-only
Inov8r AI Lab
Internal · Agent infrastructure
Self-hosted, multi-model agent infrastructure that quietly powers our portfolio, code review, research, ops, customer signal. We build for ourselves first, ship to others when it earns the right.

Approach
How we work, and why the work looks the way it does.
We hold a deliberately small set of beliefs about technology, AI, and what good product feels like. Everything we ship is downstream of these.
-
01
AI as a primitive, not a feature.
Every product we ship is designed AI-native from day one. Intelligence is woven through the experience, in onboarding, in the empty states, in the way the product gets smarter the more you use it. We don't ship a finished app and then bolt a chatbot onto the corner.
-
02
Solve friction we've actually felt.
We pick problems that have annoyed us personally, the receipts after a group trip, the HVAC filter no one remembers to change, the registry chaos for a new baby. If it doesn't matter to a real person on a real Tuesday, we don't build it.
-
03
Founder-led craft, not org chart.
Small, technical teams. No layers between the people designing the product and the people writing the code. Quality and taste don't survive committees, they need a short distance from intent to ship.
-
04
Ship narrow, expand on signal.
We launch deliberately small, instrument everything, and let real usage tell us where to go. No roadmaps written from a conference room, products earn their next feature by being used.

About
Two founders, one studio, a long view.
Inov8r Labs Inc. was incorporated in British Columbia in 2021 as the parent for our work. We operate as a small, technical, founder-run studio, not a venture, not an agency. Everything we ship lives under one roof, and the people you see below are the ones doing the work.
