We build it with you.
You have a company to make.
You bring the vision, we bring the team. Saltwork designs, builds and ships the product with you — and the companies we build are the ones our creator network can back.
A team, not a quote.
Saltwork is a studio, not an agency roster. The people who scope the product are the people who ship it.
An in-house team of engineers, designers and product managers
From napkin to definition to deployment to scaling
A route to a first audience through the network, not a cold launch
One loop. Both doors open onto it.
The studio is the first step, not the whole of it. A company built here has a route to its first audience through the network, which is the part a cold launch does not have.
We build it
A founder comes in with a vision. Our team designs, builds and ships the product alongside them.
You use it
Creators pick a company from the ones open that month and use the product for two weeks. We check, so what gets said about it is true.
You tell people
One post, in your own voice, on the platform you already post on. No briefs, no scripts, no approvals.
Everyone holds
The creator takes a position in the company rather than a fee. The founder gets an audience that has a reason to stay.
11 companies, already built.
Napkin to definition to deployment to scaling, and every step in between. Each one has its own page.

Not on this page yet
Two things a founder will reasonably want before they write to us are not written down anywhere yet, so they are not here. We would rather name the gap than fill it with something that sounds right.
- How an engagement actually runs, and over what timescale
- What it costs, and how that is structured
- The case studies behind the 11 companies above — each page carries the same note
