Independent Product Studio

Products that move in real time.

We’re Lawrence and Nathan—two hands-on partners who turn ambitious ideas into responsive, intelligent products built for how the world actually moves.

01 What we build

From first signal to working product.

Futrix works at the point where product thinking, design, and engineering meet. One tight team stays close to the signal — from the first event to the finished experience.

01.1

Real-time systems

Live data, event-driven experiences, alerts, tracking, and connected workflows that react as the world changes.

01.2

AI-native applications

Useful intelligence built into the product—not bolted on as a demo or buried behind a chatbot.

01.3

Mobile + web products

Focused experiences that feel considered on every screen, from an early prototype through a production release.

01.4

Product direction

Clear decisions on what to build, what to leave out, and how to turn a complex idea into a product people can trust.

02 Partners

Two partners. One build team.

No relay race between strategy and delivery. Lawrence and Nathan stay involved from the first conversation to the final release.

Lawrence Sowell

Co-founder / Product & Ventures

Lawrence works where the business opportunity meets the product. As the founder of Fishtechy, he brings a founder’s bias for speed, practical UX, and getting new ideas out of the room and into the water.

Nathan Bopp

Co-founder / Product & Engineering

Nathan turns complex product challenges into systems that hold up in the real world. Aquabuildr is his baby—a living example of his product ownership, domain depth, and long-term care.

03 Featured work

Built around a real problem, not a feature list.

A few of the products we’ve taken from signal to shipped.

PRODUCT 001 / FISHTECHY · AI MEASUREMENT

Fishtechy

AI fish measurement built around the Proof Ball—the real magic behind a trusted catch. Capture the fish, verify the catch, and keep the leaderboard honest.

04 How we work

Small team, senior hands, no handoffs.

01

Start with the live problem.

We get to the user, the constraint, and the decision that matters before we reach for technology.

02

Prototype the hard part first.

Early builds answer the risky questions. The goal is useful evidence, not a polished illusion.

03

Stay close through launch.

The people who shape the product stay accountable for the details that make it work in the real world.
