Bring a project.
We put our name on it.
KleverKorner is a board-run partner for people building real things. Pitch us a project, and if the board takes it on, we back it with our name, our board's time, and whatever help actually fits — from a public shout-out to a hands-on seat at the table.
What KleverKorner is
KleverKorner is the overarching idea, not a company that runs projects itself. It's an open door: anyone can bring us something they're building. The board decides, project by project, whether to stand behind it — and if it does, KleverKorner helps in whatever way actually fits, rather than a one-size answer.
The projects underneath work differently. Klever Klox, our first outlet, is its own corporate company. KleverKorner backs it; KleverKorner doesn't run it. That's the pattern going forward — KleverKorner opens the door, the project walks through it and runs itself.
The open door
Anyone can propose. The board reviews and decides. No membership required to pitch.
Its own company
A backed project is managed independently — its own decisions, its own team, KleverKorner's name behind it.
How we help
What KleverKorner brings depends on what you're building. We work out the fit with the board and with you — there's no fixed package.
Our name on it
We add the KleverKorner name to your product and vouch for it publicly.
Board time
Board members sit in on calls, review decisions, and flag the mistakes we've already made once.
Actual backing
Tools, contacts, or funding, sized to the project and agreed with the board — never off a price list.
Getting in the door
No pitch deck, no lengthy application. It starts with an email.
-
01
Email us
Send a short pitch: what you're building, who's building it, and what help you're after.
-
02
Board review
The board looks it over and gets back to you directly — no queue, no ticket number.
-
03
Work out the fit
If the board's in, you agree together on what KleverKorner brings and what that means for both sides.
-
04
Build under the name
Ship it, with the KleverKorner name and whatever backing you agreed on standing behind it.
Open by default
We're built by developers, for people who build things. Every project under our name is asked to keep its code and CAD files open on GitHub — under our organization, or a partner organization we recognize — unless there's a real security reason not to.
Current project
Klever Klox
A handmade, 3D-printed alarm clock built to get phones out of the bedroom by taking over the one job that keeps them on the nightstand: the alarm. RGB light dawns gradually before it sounds, so you wake up to light instead of a phone screen.
Who's running things
KleverKorner is run by a board of six. Day to day, two of those seats carry specific jobs: a Director who handles meetings, policy and delegation, and a Secretary who keeps the record and can break a tied vote. Both seats are still open.
