What Trevillyan Labs does, who we help, and how to work with us.

What does Trevillyan Labs do?
We're an independent software studio. We ship custom software for clients, operate our own products (like NewsNook), and advise founders and early-stage startups on product and go-to-market execution.
Can a small studio actually build my product?
Yes — that's the core of what we do. We build full-stack web apps in Next.js / React / TypeScript and run lean with AI, so you get senior-quality delivery without an agency's overhead. We also build and operate our own product, so we ship like owners, not contractors.
Who do you advise, and on what?
Founders and early-stage startups, on product and go-to-market execution: product strategy, the path to product-market fit, go-to-market, fundraising, and team building. From a 3x founder who ships a live product.
Do you use AI?
The studio is run day-to-day with an AI assistant — we run lean on agentic AI rather than headcount. It's how we move fast, and it's the proof behind any AI advice we give.
How does an engagement start?
Tell us what you need on the contact page. We come back with a clear, scoped next step — a fixed-scope build, or an advisory call — so you know exactly what you're getting before you commit.
What is NewsNook?
NewsNook is our own product — an AI newsletter reader, live in production at newsnook.ai. On this site it's proof we build and operate real software; the product itself is sold on its own site.
