“We didn't learn software from software.We learnt it from running the work.”
Curcle wasn't built inside a software company. It was built inside a real service business — every workflow shaped by engineers, office teams, managers and customers.
Built out of operational frustration, not a market gap.
Before Curcle there were spreadsheets that didn't agree with each other. Paper certificates in van doors. Engineers carrying whole jobs in their heads. Audits that meant a weekend digging through folders.
Luke has been the engineer under the equipment signing the report, the manager chasing contractors for paperwork, and the customer waiting on certificates that never arrived. Curcle exists because those problems deserved better than another generic job sheet app.
That's why every workflow in Curcle starts from how the work actually runs — not how a product team imagines it runs.
The certificate is in the van. Somewhere.
Issued, numbered, signed and emailed before the engineer leaves site.
Three spreadsheets, none of them right.
One live record of jobs, assets, compliance and invoicing.
The audit means losing a weekend.
Audit-ready. Always.
Software gets better when operators shape it.
The next stage of Curcle won't be designed in a meeting room. It will be shaped by the businesses running the work — and Founding Partners sit closest to that process.
Influence
Your priorities carry real weight in what gets built, improved and retired.
Collaboration
Work with the team as a partner — reviewing early designs, not reacting to finished releases.
Shaping product direction
Help decide where the platform goes next, from certificates to scheduling to the office workflow.
Direct access
A straight line to the founder and the people building the product. No ticket queue between you and an answer.
Early releases
First access to new modules while they can still be bent around how your operation runs.
A seat at the table
A small cohort of serious operators comparing notes — worth as much as the software.
10 places. One founding cohort.
This is not a beta programme. It's a small, deliberate cohort of serious operators who'll shape Curcle alongside us — and be credited for it permanently.
The businesses shaping what comes next.
Every Founding Partner is named here, permanently. This is where the record starts.
The service business Curcle was built inside.
Subject to confirmation.
Place reserved — to be announced.
7 places remain in the founding cohort. When they're taken, this programme closes — permanently.
Businesses that run real work in the field.
UK service businesses where compliance matters and operations are the difference between a good month and a hard one.
Close to one of these but not exact? Apply anyway — the fit that matters is how seriously you take the work.
A partnership that pays you back.
Lifetime access to Curcle
Founding Partners keep access to Curcle for life — subject to fair usage and continued participation in the programme.
Direct influence over the product
Your operational reality feeds directly into what gets built, improved and retired — and you'll see your input land.
Quarterly founder sessions
A proper working session with Luke every quarter — not a customer-success script, a real conversation about your operation.
Priority support
A direct line to people who understand field operations, with your issues at the front of the queue.
Early access to Clarity
First access to Clarity, Curcle's intelligence layer, before general release — while it can still be shaped around your work.
Early access to new modules
New workflows and modules before anyone else — shaped with you, not shipped at you.
Permanent Founding Partner badge
A permanent mark of Founding Partner status inside the platform and in how we talk about the businesses that built it.
Your name on the Curcle website
Founding Partners are credited on the Curcle website — the businesses that helped build this get named for it.
Roadmap previews
Invitations to roadmap previews before decisions are locked in, so you can push back while it still counts.
Recognition in Curcle publications
Where appropriate, and always with your agreement, Founding Partners are recognised in future Curcle publications.
This is a two-way partnership.
We're not looking for logos. We're looking for operators who'll help make the platform better for everyone who comes after.
Honest feedback
Tell us what's wrong as plainly as you'd tell a subcontractor. Polite silence helps nobody.
Real-world testing
Use Curcle in the day-to-day — live jobs, real engineers, actual certificates.
Ideas
The best features in Curcle started as a frustration someone described out loud.
Operational knowledge
How your planning board really works. What the auditor really asked. That's the gold.
Constructive challenge
Push back when we're wrong. We'd rather be corrected by a partner than ignored by the market.
Whenever a customer opens Curcle, they should immediately know:
What needs attention.
What is going well.
What is at risk.
What should happen next.
If we achieve that, we have done our job.
