Case study
The product foundation I kept rebuilding
A production-ready Next.js foundation built from the patterns behind Homi, SwipeStats, and Capient. Accounts, organizations, billing, data, email, AI, and deployment already work together.
Software for high-stakes decisions.
Boe Ventures is my one-person product studio. I'm Kristian, Norwegian engineer, Oslo and New York. My thesis was on apartment matching, and a decade later everything I build is still some version of the same problem: finding the right thing in a sea of options with bad signal.

The same underlying problem, across every product
Homes, dating data, cities to work from. Infrequent, high-stakes decisions where existing tools focus on the wrong things. Each product here addresses a version of that same problem.
Case study
An online community for professional nomads, built solo
Promad.life is where I'm building a community for remote professionals who treat location freedom as a career asset, not a lifestyle experiment — backed by destination and gear picks that also carry affiliate links.
Case study
A curated directory of iconic residential skyscrapers
A curated directory of iconic residential towers across 25+ cities, from Manhattan supertalls to Oslo landmarks — the buildings that define living at height.
Homi exists because I watched people make the biggest purchase of their lives with fifteen browser tabs and a group chat. Everything I build starts like that: a frustration I couldn't stop thinking about until I'd built the fix.
Focus areas - AI products, data platforms, and a lot of unglamorous plumbing.
Every product here is a coordination problem first and a technology problem second. The tech's job is to stay out of the way.
- AI-powered products. Building intelligent applications that understand context and intent, from conversational home search to structured data analysis. AI as a tool, not a gimmick.
- Data platforms. Turning raw data into insights people actually use. Whether it's dating patterns or housing markets, the goal is always clarity from complexity.
- Full-stack development. Modern web applications built with Next.js, TypeScript, and whatever stack best fits the problem. Ship fast, iterate from evidence.
- Growth & distribution. Products that grow through genuine value: organic signups, community-driven distribution, and word of mouth over paid acquisition.
