Plate — a product studio by The Startup Kitchen

Your idea, served on a silver plate.

We build software founders can run a company on, shipped in weeks and fully yours. When a build stalls or starts breaking, we step in and fix it.

SaaS & Ops · RescueLive · 2026

Venture Core OS

A vibe-coded prototype we rebuilt into the system a venture builder now runs on.

Problem

The Replit-generated prototype couldn't take on a second tenant or survive real use. No data isolation, 800-line "god" pages, no audit trail.

Approach

Re-architected into a multi-tenant platform: deny-by-default org scoping, 10-role RBAC, audit logging, rate limiting; god-pages refactored into lazy-loaded modules.

Outcome

Now runs The Startup Kitchen's own portfolio, tasks, financials and investor portal in production.

Healthcare · BuildPilot · 2026

PT7

Arabic-first physiotherapy. The home-exercise plans patients actually do.

Problem

Egyptian clinics had no way to assign home-exercise plans, or to see whether patients did them. And anything we built had to respect patient-data law.

Approach

A password-free, code-onboarded Arabic patient app plus therapist and clinic dashboards, with Supabase RLS enforcing clinic- and patient-scoped access on a PDPL-aware model.

Outcome

Pilot-ready with seeded demo clinics, live adherence tracking and missed-session alerts.

Fintech · BuildMVP · 2026

DafaaLink

Card payments for Egyptian freelancers, minus the legal headache.

Problem

Freelancers had no simple, compliant way to take card payments, and touching IDs or funds carries real legal exposure.

Approach

Hosted payment links + a seller dashboard on a PSP abstraction (Paymob), phone-OTP auth, eKYC that stores results not raw IDs, and a deliberate "no fund custody" v1 model.

Outcome

Working MVP with per-seller data isolation and idempotent webhooks, Arabic-first throughout.

Programme 2050

An ESG training programme, finally off spreadsheets.

Problem

A capacity-building programme was running cohorts, payments and impact reporting across spreadsheets and inboxes.

Approach

A purpose-built CRM on Next.js 15 and Supabase: cohort management, role-based access, Paymob payments, Resend email, and generated PDF reports.

Outcome

Live in production on Vercel, used to run the programme end to end.

AI · BuildPrototype · 2026

cogos

A second brain that reads your notes and never leaves your laptop.

Problem

Every useful "second-brain" AI tool ships your private notes off to the cloud.

Approach

A local-first cognitive OS: on-device embeddings (Ollama) and a vector store (LanceDB). The whole test suite runs without a model.

Outcome

Validated milestone build: cited, offline answers from your own notes, zero cloud calls.

Exit Owner

Shows founders what they really walk away with at exit. Free, in the browser.

Problem

Once SAFEs, priced rounds and liquidation prefs stack up, founders can't easily see their actual take-home.

Approach

A backend-free simulator that models stacked SAFEs, priced rounds, option pools and liquidation preferences, entirely in the browser.

Outcome

Live and free, no sign-up, and nothing leaves the browser.

02 How we work

Architecture-first. The demo is never the point.

AI gets you 70% of the way. The last 30% is the part that survives real users, and that's senior work.

We build the product you'd build yourself if you already had the team: auth that holds, payments that reconcile, data you can bet the company on. Then it's yours.

Build

You have an idea. We turn it into a working product in 2–4 weeks, built properly, and it's yours to keep.

Rescue

Something built with AI or a cheap shop that's now stuck or breaking? We stabilise it and harden it into a platform that scales.

Grow

Already live? We keep shipping features at a steady pace, and add AI only where it earns its place.

Scale

Ready to grow past us? We hire and embed the team that takes it forward: engineers, senior leads, consultants. We hand it over running, not in pieces.

03 Studio

Plate is the in-house product studio of The Startup Kitchen, a venture builder. So you're not hiring a freelancer off the internet.

You get the team a venture builder trusts to build its own companies, and the standards and accountability that come with that. We work from one proven stack, so your budget goes into your product instead of our learning curve. You walk away owning every line.
