01 — The problem

You've outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf ERP — but a full platform switch costs a fortune and locks you in for a decade.

Most software for companies your size is rented, rigid, and built so you can never leave. We take the opposite position: a system shaped to your operations, owned outright, and simple enough that your own team can change it.

02 — Why Obsidian Labs

Three commitments that change the math.

P-01

You own it

The system is yours — every line. We build it, document it, and transfer it. Walk away from us any time with everything intact.

P-02

Your team can extend it

Architected so a single capable developer working with Claude Code can safely change and grow the system — without breaking it.

P-03

Aligned with your exit

We price below the true cost of an ERP switch and take phantom equity instead — so we only win big when you do, at sale.

03 — The model

A vendor relationship, redesigned.

Scoped project work, full ownership on delivery, optional support if you want it, and equity that pays out only when you sell. We made our incentives match yours.

Good software should raise your multiple — not become a liability the buyer has to unwind.
