A studio for building software ventures
Harlan LLC is a Columbia, South Carolina–based studio that designs, builds, and operates its own software products. We work end to end — product design, engineering, launch, and the day-to-day operations that keep a product running for real customers.
Rather than one-off client projects, we build ventures we believe in and see them through: shipping early, listening to the people who use them, and improving fast. Our first product, LawnLineup, is live in early access today.
What we do
Product design
Interface, brand, and experience — from first sketch to a product people want to use.
Software engineering
Web, mobile, and backend systems built to run in production, not just demo.
Launch & growth
Getting products into customers’ hands and iterating on real, everyday usage.
Operations
We keep operating what we build — support, billing, and continued development.
How we work
We keep teams small and own the whole stack — design, code, and operations — so we can move quickly and ship real software instead of slideware. Every product starts with a genuine problem and a first working version in customers’ hands as early as possible.
From there it’s a tight loop: use what we ship, talk to the people who rely on it, and improve every week. We build products we intend to run for the long haul, not hand off and forget.
