Revolutionizing product development with intuition and curiosity.

We help startups and small businesses design, build, and launch custom digital products. As a product studio, we bring the same product mindset we use on our own products to every client engagement.

Raindrop Digital is headquartered in Seattle, WA, with a second home in California. Founded in 2025, the studio was built on more than two decades of combined experience designing, building, and scaling digital products across B2B, consumer, and enterprise environments.

We operate as a product studio. That means we build custom software for startups and small businesses, and we also design, launch, and grow our own digital products. In both cases, the goal is the same: create products that feel intuitive, reliable, and ready to scale.
We exist to make custom software more accessible for small businesses while applying the same discipline we use when building our own products. Our work blends product strategy, design craft, and modern AI-enhanced development so teams can move faster without sacrificing quality.

A product partner that pays attention

because we believe in building together.

We Genuinely Care

We bring empathy and real partnership to every engagement. Your business goals and challenges shape our approach. We treat your product as if it were our own and collaborate closely to create software that supports your vision.

We Listen Intently

Effective custom software starts with understanding your story. We take the time to learn about your customers, your workflow, and your biggest obstacles, then turn that knowledge into clear product direction that fits your business.

We’re Excited for You

Small business innovation should feel energizing, not overwhelming. We help you move forward with confidence by celebrating progress, simplifying complexity, and showing you what is possible with the right software partner.

We’re Willing to Help

Whether you need an MVP, a new internal tool, workflow automation, or a full custom application, we bring a hands-on, supportive approach. No technical jargon. No bloated processes. Just honest guidance and quality work that helps your business grow.
The Studio Model

A team working to democratize digital product innovation.

We believe small businesses deserve custom software built with the same level of design craft and technical expertise as enterprise products. Raindrop Digital offers a scalable, cost-effective alternative to oversized agencies and inflexible no-code tools.
As a product studio, we split our time between building products for clients and building products of our own. That balance makes us better partners. Client work keeps us grounded in real business needs, while internal products push us to design for scale, durability, and long-term growth.
Because we build and operate our own products, we bring an owner’s mindset to every engagement. We choose technologies proven in production, avoid shortcuts, and design software that works today and continues to support your business as it grows.
