The world is changing.
So we're building what's next.
OECIA helps organisations identify, design and implement the systems that move them forward — strategy, AI, product, automation, design and venture thinking, from one founder-led team. We work across four stages: Direction, Build, Operate and Venture Partner.
Web builds, app builds, real impact
What gets built,
and what it's for.
Every view funds real-world conservation storytelling — a streaming platform built to route attention toward the natural world, not away from it.
Tools that turn curiosity into understanding — built for schools and learners who think differently, not around them.
Our ventures
Built and backed
by OECIA.
We build and run our own products, which is why we know what it takes to get one live. Client work runs alongside them, in the same sectors we invest in — so you get a team that has already made these decisions with its own money on the line.

GreenPaw Project is an independent UK conservation charity. OECIA provides web development for GreenPaw as a client engagement — it is not an OECIA–owned venture, and its inclusion here is not an endorsement of OECIA by the charity.

How we work
Senior people,
on your project.
We work with businesses adopting AI, founders building ventures, and organisations doing regenerative and impact work — the last of which is where we build our own products too. We staff engagements with senior people rather than juniors on a bench, which means the person who scoped your project is the person doing the work.
Every engagement starts with a paid diagnostic — from £495 — where we get properly under the hood of what exists and what's needed, before anything is scoped or priced. From there we'll talk through what it would take and what it costs, specific to what you need. Tell us what you're building and we'll come back within five working days with a straight answer on fit and timing.

Where to start
Three doors in.
One path through.
People arrive with a problem, not a service category. So we've named the three we're asked about most. Whichever door you come through, the work runs the same way — we look properly first, then tell you what it takes.
01
AI & business
Where should AI actually be implemented in your business? For teams carrying work that software should be doing. We find where AI and automation genuinely pay for themselves, and where they'd just be expensive theatre.
What could you automate in the next 30 days? · Fifteen people doing repetitive admin · A funnel that isn't converting · Something you built in Lovable, Bolt or Replit that won't hold up
02
Venture
Turn an idea into a commercially viable digital product. For founders and funded teams going from concept to something that can be launched, sold and run — not just built.
You've built an AI product — now turn it into a business · Concept to launch · Product and commercial strategy · The infrastructure a venture needs to survive its first year
03
Regeneration & impact
Build the operating infrastructure your impact venture needs. For regenerative businesses, climate ventures, NGOs and foundations doing real work with systems that haven't kept up with it.
Measurement and reporting that stands up · Membership, giving and funding flows · Data and registry architecture · The same work we do on our own ventures
Every door opens onto the same four stages below, and every one of them starts the same way — with a short, paid diagnostic from £495. Nothing is scoped or priced before we've looked.
What we do
Four stages.
Start wherever you are.
Most teams start with a £495 diagnostic, move into Direction, and stop when they've got what they need. Nothing is scoped or priced until we've looked properly.
01
Direction
It starts with a £495 diagnostic — tightly scoped, written, and it ends with a straight recommendation. From there, Direction is the full picture: what exists, what's actually needed, what it would take. The thinking is the deliverable, whether or not we build what comes out of it.
Diagnostic · AI & automation architecture · Product & commercial strategy · Acquisition architecture · Roadmap
From £495Focused Direction £1,500–£3,000+ · Full Blueprint £5,000–£15,000+
02
Build
Designing and building the thing itself — brand, site, platform or product. Scoped from Direction, so the number you're given is the number based on what we actually found, not a guess.
Brand & design systems · Web & app builds · Automation & agent workflows · Data model · Integrations
£7,500–£20,000+Focused £3,000–£7,500 · Complex transformation £20,000–£50,000+
03
Operate
Getting it live and keeping it there. Infrastructure, monitoring, the security pass and ongoing iteration — the unglamorous work that decides whether something survives contact with real users, data and payments.
Infrastructure · Security pass · Monitoring · Iteration · Handover
From £1,000/monthEmbedded operating partner £3,000–£7,500+/month
04
Venture Partner
Senior people embedded part-time — technical and product leadership on the inside. For founders who don't need a full department, but do need someone who has built and shipped before making the calls.
Fractional CTO / product lead · Architecture · Team & roadmap
£3,000–£10,000+/monthFractional, rolling
Indicative ranges to show the territory we work in, not a rate card. Every engagement is priced specifically after Direction. Ex-VAT.
If you've already built something and it won't hold up
A common way in. You built something in Lovable, Bolt, v0 or Replit Agent, it looks finished, and it falls over the moment real users, real data or real payments touch it. Same four stages as everything else — it just starts with a £495 diagnostic pointed at the codebase, and comes back with a written, plain-English verdict on what's real, what isn't, and what it costs to fix.
How we approach that →Who you're working with
Founder-led,
deliberately small.
OECIA is a small core team with a network of specialists we bring in by discipline. It means less overhead to pay for, and it means the senior people you meet are the senior people doing the work.
- A small core team Founder-led, with the people who scope the work also delivering it. No account layer between you and the build.
- A specialist network Design, engineering, film and data specialists brought in per project, chosen for the problem rather than because they're on a bench.
- Senior people on the work We don't staff projects with juniors learning on your budget. If we can't put the right person on it, we'll say so.
- We build our own products too Panoa, Earthflix and ExploreGenius are ours. We've made these decisions with our own money on the line, which changes the advice you get.
The next generation of technology
should do more than generate attention.
It should generate change.
