I’m interestedHelping independent businesses grow and thrive.
We’re Boulton & Watt, a startup incubator based in New York. We build companies that help small, independent businesses take on difficult problems and create new opportunities.
We start by getting close to the work. That means listening to the people who know a business best, understanding their day to day, and testing ideas together.
The people behind the work
We’re company builders working from Brooklyn. We do the early work ourselves, then build lasting relationships with operators to help new businesses grow.
Companies we’ve built
Different industries, the same approach: learn from the people doing the work, build around real needs, and stay for the long term.
- Moxie
Helping nurses open and run independent aesthetics practices, with tools to compete against larger chains.
- Meadow Memorials
Making funeral care more transparent and easier for families to navigate.
- Goodlane Logistics
Helping independent freight brokerage agents build and grow their businesses.
Why we’d like to hear from you
When we reach out, we handpick people for their experience in the businesses we’re learning about. We want to understand how the work gets done, what already works well, and where a new idea might help.
These conversations shape what we build. When we decide to build, we look for operators to work with as long-term partners, learning and improving together.
Our current focus
Independent restoration businesses
Restoration brings together urgent work in the field and the detail of running a business. We’re interested in how independent operators manage that work, from coordinating crews to documenting jobs and getting paid.
We’d like to hear what your day to day looks like and get your reaction to ideas that could make it easier. We’re still learning; your experience will help us decide what to build.
