Building Communities and Software
We produce the shows that build the room, and the software that runs it.
Three properties. One system.
Communities on one side, software and media on the other. Each one feeds the next.
Studio
You tape the show. We handle editing, clips, show notes, publishing and distribution. Nine years of production, five shows, one pipeline built in-house.
Led by JennyDevKick
The builders' room. Build nights, live teardowns and demos for people shipping AI agents, robotics and quantum in the KW to GTA corridor. Demo or it didn't happen.
Led by YohannBuilds
Websites for small businesses, plus a small number of larger platform builds. From a one-page site to the system that runs an organization.
Both foundersAgent Adoption Program
Assessment, pilot and team enablement for engineering teams adopting agentic coding tools.
Explore the program →The properties feed each other. The community surfaces the builders. The shows open the doors. The software ships the work. Pale Blue Nexus is the media proof running through all of it.
Demo or it didn't happen.
DevKick is the builders' room we own and run. Build nights, live teardowns and show-and-tells for developers shipping at the frontier in the KW to GTA corridor. No panels, no pitches. Bring what you're working on and show it running.
What happens when relationships are the strategy
We don't have a portfolio of logos.
We have receipts.
Every result below is a community we built before we ever asked for anything. The EOS community. The relationships behind CryptoSlam. The Pale Blue Nexus audience. We build communities that compound into capital. The software comes second.
Relationship → Introduction → Capital
$9M
Seed round raised
Started a podcast during COVID. Cold-pitched the Chairman of Animoca Brands as a guest. He said yes. We introduced him to the founder of CryptoSlam. He led their $9M seed round, backed by Mark Cuban and Animoca Brands. One podcast. One introduction. One relationship played long.
Production → Launch → Global Event
$4B
ICO, the largest in history
Jenny produced the live broadcast of the EOS blockchain launch. 200 guests. The famous Go/No-Go call. A global audience watching in real time. She created every live show, launch special, and piece of promotional content for EOS Go. No playbook existed. She wrote it.
Content → Distribution → Growth
23K+
Views on Episode 1
Our first Pale Blue Nexus guest was Jim Rogers, a billionaire investor and co-founder of the Quantum Fund. Not because we pitched him cold. Because we built a relationship over 17 years before we ever asked. The episode brought the channel to 4,400+ subscribers and counting.
Community + Software → One Build
Chambers of Commerce Coming
Case study ships this fall
We're building the platform that runs a regional chamber of commerce: website, CRM, and member operations in one system. The full case study lands here when the chamber website ships this fall.
We didn't start Aloomii with a product. We started with 17 years of relationships, five podcasts, and a track record of turning conversations into capital. The AI and the systems came later. The instinct for relationships came first.
We ship the systems we run ourselves.
We both build websites and the internal tools that make our own work faster. Yohann is a formally trained software engineer who shipped production code at JP Morgan, IBM and the Ontario Government, and he takes the larger platform builds. Between us, a small business site goes out fast and a platform gets built properly.
Websites
Clean, fast, mobile-first sites for small businesses, trades and founders. Built in-house, yours to own, no lock-in, no monthly platform fee. One-pagers from $599, full sites from $1,200.
One-pagers in about four days.
Start a website →Platforms
Systems that run an organization. Website, CRM and member operations in one build. Currently building the platform for a regional chamber of commerce. Selective, usually by referral.
Case study ships this fall.
Talk about a platform →Internal tools
The tooling that makes the work faster. It is built for our own work.
Operators, not consultants.
Two founders, four properties, no employees. Yohann builds rooms: DevKick and the events. Jenny builds content: the shows, the video, the creative direction. We both build the software underneath, and nothing here is handed to anyone else.
Yohann Calpu
Formally trained software engineer who became a startup operator. Shipped production code and managed releases at JP Morgan, IBM and the Ontario Government before going startup-side at CryptoSlam, where he closed $2M in deals and helped raise a $9M seed round backed by Mark Cuban. He runs DevKick, architects the larger builds, and hosts Pale Blue Nexus.
Jenny Calpu
Jenny runs Studio. She produced the live broadcast of the EOS blockchain launch, 200 guests, the GO/NO-GO call, a global audience, and has produced five shows end to end across nine years, including Pale Blue Nexus. She builds her own tools, and built aloomii.com and vibrnt.ai from scratch, then started palebluenexus.com and built it out with Yohann. Every cut, every thumbnail, every episode ships through her.
Software is table stakes. Community is the moat.
In a world where AI can build almost anything, the one thing it cannot generate is a room full of the right people who trust each other. We build both: the systems that scale, and the relationships that last.
What we are not.
Not a content agency
No account managers, no onboarding decks, no reports full of impressions. You deal with the person doing the work.
Not a guest booking service
We don't pitch guests or run your outreach. You tape the show, we make it worth watching.
Not a marketplace freelancer
We've produced five shows, a $4B launch broadcast, and the systems behind them. This isn't a gig.
Not a course
Studio and Builds are done-for-you. If you want to learn the systems yourself, that's what the Playbook is for.
Ideas we're thinking about.
