Venture Studio
Modernizing legacy industries through purpose-built SaaS.
Project2817 is a venture studio that identifies deep operational bottlenecks in traditional sectors, starting with real estate and field services, and builds intelligent software to solve them.
Our Model
How We Grow
We believe transformative technology belongs in the field, not the boardroom. That means we don't build isolated, generic apps. We identify a core operational bottleneck, partner directly with industry veterans to solve it, and use that foothold to expand across adjacent markets and downstream workflows. One wedge becomes a compounding ecosystem.
One engine, not one app.
KamuSpec isn't a single product. It's a proprietary field-data platform linking vertical domains.
We solved the hardest problem first.
Residential home inspections are chaotic, mobile, and heavily regulated. That makes them the ultimate proving ground.

KamuSpec
PropTech & Field Services
KamuSpec represents our thesis in action: solving deep operational bottlenecks in legacy markets. For home inspection firms, KamuSpec acts as a unified operating system that leverages advanced logistics routing, automated report writing, and business analytics to drive operational efficiency. Downstream, it transforms the traditionally stagnant inspection report into an active negotiation tool, equipping Realtors and homebuyers with frictionless, AI-generated repair estimates to keep real estate transactions moving.
For the Enterprise
Intelligent field-data collection, advanced analytics, and routing optimization to scale inspection firm operations.
For the Agent
Post-delivery friction reduction via automated, AI-driven repair estimates that streamline buyer/seller negotiations.
The result
Fewer stalled transactions and a faster path from inspection to close.
Our Story
From the boardroom to the field
We spent decades building enterprise architecture and go-to-market strategy for Fortune 500 companies, and we watched too much great technology stall in bureaucracy before it ever reached the people who needed it. The best software doesn't belong in a boardroom. It belongs in the field.
Project2817 was born over a beer, listening to local home inspectors describe the daily grind of running their business. We knew we could fix it, but we wanted to do more than patch a problem. We don't build software to replace skilled professionals or shave a margin. We build pragmatic, no-nonsense tools that make their work easier and their businesses stronger. Our aim is simple: leave every industry we touch better than we found it.
So we never build alone. We bring the technology, and our partners bring the trade. Every venture pairs our engineering and go-to-market experience with specialists who know their field cold, because the best software is technology plus business acumen, not one without the other. You wouldn't want a home inspector architecting enterprise security, or a Silicon Valley engineer designing a workflow they've never set foot in. We structure every partnership to recognize and reward the expertise on both sides.
The name is a nod to our roots: Texas, the 28th state, and Ohio, the 17th. Our careers have taken us from the Midwest and the Gulf Coast to the UK, but the ethos hasn't changed. We're not a Silicon Valley echo chamber. We bring enterprise-grade capability to the real-world businesses that keep the country running.
