A barn, a pasture, and a build server

The Lab at Milton sits on twenty acres of horse country in Milton, Georgia — a house, a barn, and pastures, owned outright by one of its founders. It is a think tank with a workshop attached: opinions and ideas come here to be argued, sharpened, and — when they earn it — built into software that ships.

The four of us have spent roughly a hundred and twenty combined years building and running technology — infrastructure, networking, datacenters, product development, security, and the businesses wrapped around them. We have started companies, sold companies, and run engineering and security organizations at scale. The Lab is where that experience gets applied to new work, on our own terms and our own clock.

How we work

Few ideas, tended hard. An opinion becomes an argument, an argument becomes a prototype, and a prototype that survives contact with users becomes a product. What doesn't survive becomes compost for the next planting. We are deliberately small, deliberately unhurried, and deliberately located far from the places ideas are supposed to come from.
