Independent software studio, Kansas City

A small studio building real products.

Altu Product LLC builds and runs its own software end to end: research, strategy, design, engineering, and growth.

What we believe

How we pick what to build

01

Problems first

Every product starts with a problem people actually have, not a technology looking for a use.

02

Small and focused

A small team stays close to its users and can change direction fast when the evidence says to.

03

Privacy by default

We collect what a product needs and nothing more. It’s the idea EmployForm is built on.

Live product

EmployForm

A privacy-first hiring platform. Employers get verified, relevant candidates and far less noise. Candidates are judged on what they can do.

Skills-first profiles with identifying details removed

Identity revealed only on mutual interest

AI-assisted resume and job description parsing

1

Candidate builds a profile

Skills and impact up front, name and photo held back.

2

Employer requests a reveal

Interest is based on the work, not the resume header.

3

Both agree, identity revealed

Only then do names and contact details change hands.

How we build

From real problem to shipped product

Six steps, every product, no shortcuts.

01

Discover

Start with a real problem and the people who have it. Talk to them before writing any code.

02

Define

Narrow it to the smallest product that solves the problem, and decide how we’ll know it worked.

03

Design

Flows, wireframes, and clickable prototypes, tested with real users before anything gets built.

04

Build

Modern full-stack web apps, with a separate QA environment and review before every release.

05

Ship

Release early and in small increments, so real users are shaping the product from day one.

06

Learn

Measure, listen, and iterate. Cut what doesn’t work and double down on what does.
