The Foundry · Haute Lumière

The Foundry

Describe the app you want. We make three, you keep what you love in each, and you leave with one finished app made the Haute Lumière way, valued three ways and screened for its IP.

How it goes

  1. You describe it. One plain paragraph is enough.
  2. Three demos. Three directions, each a working app you can use on your phone.
  3. You choose. Say what you like most about each, and type your final tweaks.
  4. Your app. One final app, yours, with a transparent assessment: what it would cost to build, how it compares with similar apps, what it could earn, and a pre-lawyer screen of its novelty and patentability.
  5. The fleet. If it adds life to the Haute Lumière fleet and the house says yes, it joins the fleet and pays you 70% of its net receipts (what the fleet takes in for the app after store fees, payment fees, refunds and taxes). If not, it is yours to use privately.

Built free, owned by the house: We build your app and launch it on every platform; Luminous Prosperity retains ownership.

Commissions are open. Choose a rung and press Begin: you describe your app, pay on Stripe, and your order page opens.

The IP screen is research, not legal advice. The valuations name their methods and what they cannot see. Nothing here is a promise of what anyone will pay.
