Anchovy Labs
About Us

Small team. Enterprise-grade output.

Anchovy Labs is a founder-led product studio established in 2026 to build privacy-first consumer software using agentic development methods. The founding team brings backgrounds in quantitative research, healthcare technology, and iOS engineering — environments where shipping broken things isn't an option. We build practical iOS products with strong privacy defaults and production-grade discipline.

Our Approach

We use multi-agent orchestration to accelerate implementation, automated testing to maintain quality, and rapid iteration cycles grounded in measurable user behavior. The result is fast delivery without sacrificing technical rigor.

Operations

Runs day-to-day operations, development infrastructure, and release pipelines. Previously built and operated systems across healthcare tech and quantitative finance — both environments where shipping broken things isn't an option.

Engineering

Owns the iOS stack end-to-end — architecture, implementation, App Store submission. Deep SwiftUI and on-device ML experience. Ships weekly, breaks nothing.

Research

Evaluates what to build next and whether it's working. Runs the quantitative side of product decisions — market sizing, feature prioritization, retention analysis. The reason we kill projects early instead of late.

Strategy

Decides where time and money go. Background in portfolio management and early-stage operations — thinks about product bets the way a fund manager thinks about positions. Keeps the team focused on fewer things done well.
