Approach
How a startup gets built.
Nothing becomes a company until it has earned it. Every startup here follows the same four stages, and each stage has to produce something real before the next one starts.
Book an introductory callFind the problem
Every startup begins with a problem we have seen up close, often in our own work. If we would not use the product ourselves, nobody else should have to.
What comes out of it
A problem worth a company
Prove it
A first version goes in front of a small group with the same problem, and we watch whether it changes how they work before anything is spent on a launch.
What comes out of it
Evidence someone else needs it
Build the company
It gets its own name, domain and Cloudflare account, built on the same stack and engineering standards as every other Bison Labs startup.
What comes out of it
A product people can sign up for
Run it
Bison Labs stays involved as owner and operator. Shared infrastructure, tooling and engineering keep the cost of running one more company low.
What comes out of it
A company that keeps going
Cloudflare-native by default
Close to every user,
from the first commit.
Every Bison Labs startup runs on Cloudflare's global network from day one. Each one sits within milliseconds of the people using it, scales with demand on its own and leaves no idle servers to maintain, so running one more company costs very little.
We maintain open-source integrations for the platforms we build on.
