Ventures

We don't only build for clients.

We also build and back our own products where we see a problem worth solving — applying the same product-development craft to our own ideas.

Why we build

Skin in the game.

Most consultancies stop at the brief. Building our own products keeps the engineering bar where it should be — on the work that has to actually run, in front of real users, paying its own way.

It's also why our client work is what it is. The same team that ships a venture is the team that ships your project. The craft is shared. The standards don't drop because the logo on the invoice changes.

Current venture

getcloak.tech

Cyber-safety, made for teenagers.

Cyber-safety · Direct-to-teen · Schools

A cyber-safety brand for teenagers.

Cloak teaches real online safety to teenagers, in the format they actually consume: short-form social content, on the platforms they're already on. It's paired with a school licensing programme that puts the same material in the hands of teachers and DSLs, and a free browser extension — Cloak Check — that gives a plain-English verdict on the page you're looking at.

Same product-development craft we bring to client work. Different audience, different brand voice — and a problem we cared enough about to back ourselves.

What we look for

What makes something a venture for us.

A handful of filters. If a problem clears all three, we'll consider building.

A problem worth solving

Something we genuinely care about — and where being good at engineering actually changes the answer.

Same craft, different audience

The engineering bar stays where it is. The brand, the voice and the channels can change to suit the audience.

Skin in the game

We back it ourselves. We build it, we run it, and we live with the consequences — same as our clients do.

More to come

One venture today. Likely more tomorrow.

Cloak is the current example. The next one will appear here when it's real.

In the kitchen

Something we're not ready to talk about yet.

When it's worth showing, it'll be here.

Have an idea?

We co-build with founders too.

Visiting from Cloak?

Hello. Yes — there's a real company behind it.

Solid Code Solutions Ltd is a UK-registered software consultancy based in Leamington Spa. Past clients include DHL, Sainsbury's, the Department for Education, Freshfields and Reed.

If you're a parent, teacher, or DSL with a question about Cloak specifically, the best place to start is on the Cloak site itself. If you want to know who's actually building it, the rest of this site is your answer.

Building your own thing?

Founders, we'd like to meet you.

If you're early on a product and you need a senior partner to take it end-to-end, that's the kind of work we love.
