AmaeteVentureStudios
We build AI-native software and media companies, and we run them. Bootstrapped by design.
We're bootstrapped and AI-native. Every company is built in house and paid for by what the studio earns, so we keep the work small, the standards high and the money honest.
One studio, built to feed itself.
The companies are vertically integrated: tools make things, platforms gather people, and the ad network turns attention into revenue.
What the top layer earns pays for the next company at the bottom.
Our shared platform
Every company runs on Onyx.
Car makers build many models on one chassis, so a new car never starts from nothing. Onyx is ours. Every company the studio starts gets the parts every product needs on its first day, and the team spends its time on what makes that product different.
- Sign-inOne account by email code or Google, shown under each product’s own name.
- PaymentsPlans, passes and checkout, ready to sell from launch day.
- HostingEvery product ships to the studio’s own servers without a new setup.
- BackupsSaved every night and test-restored every week.
- WatchedUptime and server health checked around the clock.
- Own brandCustomers see the product, never the chassis underneath.
Each company built on Onyx makes the next one faster to launch.
