A product studio for service businesses.

Stintwell builds software for service businesses. While the venture world chases hyper-growth, Stintwell works on the $3M to $50M service sector, businesses that are often rich in revenue and fragile in structure. SBOS scores where such a business is at risk and writes down what currently lives in the owner's head. Then it installs the procedures and weekly routines the business needs to outlast its founder.

Steve Barclay founded Stintwell after years running operations for high-growth and high-volume management consulting firms in telecommunications, call centers, and property management. He is a former Marine Infantryman and a career operator. What he saw in consulting was that it often only rents intelligence to solve recurring problems, and Stintwell was built as a rejection of that model. A written procedure only holds if someone enforces it. Steve took the way military command structures do that and put it into software that can scale, so the standard holds without anyone standing over it.

SBOS is the first product. It is built for the owner who is tired of being the glue, whether that owner is trying to get a compliance mess under control or getting the firm ready to sell. A business that depends on one personality is hard to hand off. Procedures in writing, with an owner on every one, make it something another person can run and a buyer can value.
