The default path through software has been paved flat. Raise, hire, scale, report. It produces predictable companies solving predictable problems.

After School Programming is a holding company, not a fund. We buy into things we intend to keep, and we look for builders working on problems their peers consider unserious or too weird to explain.

The name is literal. The best software we know of was built after hours, for oneself, with no permission and no committee.
