A problem that already bleeds
We start from an existing, measurable cost that someone absorbs every month. If nobody pays to work around the problem today, there is nothing to build.
Gate is a studio. We pick B2B problems that already cost money — healthcare, energy, deep tech, industry — and we build the companies that solve them, alongside the people who know them from the inside.
We start from the other end. Someone holds a job, loses time every day, and has found a workaround nobody ever looked at. That is where a company starts.
We start from an existing, measurable cost that someone absorbs every month. If nobody pays to work around the problem today, there is nothing to build.
We do not build around the work, we build with it. Each company starts with someone who has held the job and knows what the dashboards never show.
No portfolio of parallel bets. One company gets everything — capital, time, execution — until it stands on its own or is stopped.
Care systems losing capacity they cannot measure, and rules that cost more than the risk they cover.
A grid changing shape faster than the tools meant to steer it, and flexibility nobody has learned to sell properly yet.
Laboratory work with no path to the floor, and processes that work once without ever becoming a production line.
Machines, parts and crews whose downtime has a number, and whose full record nobody holds.
You have held the job — theatre, shop floor, grid, service. You know where the time goes and why what has been sold so far does not hold. You have never written a line of code, and that is not the point.
You build products that survive hostile environments: dirty data, regulatory constraints, users with no time. You want a problem that pushes back.
You know a sector from the inside and you know who actually decides. You do not want a job, you want to watch something right get built and be part of it.
A problem you have lived with for years, a sector you know better than the people selling into it, an urge to build rather than advise. Tell us which of the three you are.
