Coming

My brother is a medical device developer with a long track record of bringing devices to market—he even helped improve camera production for the imager used to find a vaccine for COVID. So he asked me to improve his team's design tracking software.

They were losing hours to design tools that didn't integrate and seemed designed to maximize profits rather than productivity. He wanted a system that let designers focus on their work, not documentation.

I'd been chasing something of my own for decades: a way to handle documentation that doesn't get torn up and replaced every few years. Clean. Organized. One source of truth — not seventeen copies scattered across drives. Built on more than half a century of hard-won wisdom about how text, documents, and images really work, yet able to keep up with anything in use today. We shaped it around running our own company, too, so contracts and records go out the door clean and you always know where everything lives.

A hardware engineer's dream and a software engineer's dream, two brothers, and a lot of decades between us — that became Flint. A foundation that doesn't move, for people who would rather build than do paperwork.

Flint is the whole operational stack a regulated engineering team needs — source control, document control, ERP, quality and traceability, and documentation that writes itself — working together on dedicated servers no other customer touches.

Foundation is built for work where getting it wrong is not an option: medical devices first, and the regulated work around them. Loom customers who grow into that work will be able to move up to it.

Forge lets builders create and run their own products on dedicated, private infrastructure that we build and manage for them. You own your product; we run the platform beneath it.
