Building and supporting ventures across Atlantic Canada and beyond.

How Atlas Atlantic builds
The venture studio approach combines exploration, execution, and operational support to transform ideas into sustainable companies.
1

2

The studio designs and builds the product, platform, and operational systems needed to bring the venture to life.

Operate
Atlas Atlantic provides hands-on operational support, helping establish workflows, processes, and sustainable operations.
4
Spin out / scale
The studio prepares the venture for independence or scale, ensuring it has the foundation to succeed long-term.
From idea to done
Your requests are handled with care — reviewed by a human, built with precision, and shipped only when you say so.
Step 1
Submit your request
Drop a ticket into your portal with a title, description, and priority. Attach screenshots, PDFs, or design files — drag and drop up to 50 MB.
Step 2
We review and clarify
Your request is read carefully, including any attachments. If anything is unclear, we ask before starting — no assumptions, no wasted effort.
Step 3
Work begins in isolation
An engineer picks up the ticket with full context of your project. All changes are built on a separate branch — nothing touches your live site until review.
Step 4
Quality review
Every change is checked against your original request. If anything needs your input — a design decision, a scope question — we flag it before delivery.
Step 5
You approve, we deploy
You review the finished work and approve it. Once confirmed, changes go live. Need adjustments? Send it back with notes and we revise.
Every change is reviewed before it ships. Nothing goes live without your approval.
Sidecurrent — Advisory practice
Sidecurrent is the consultancy practice of Atlas Atlantic.
We work with founders, operators, and organizations who need clear judgment, systems thinking, and practical direction — helping with strategy, systems design, and execution without a full venture build engagement.

Permagent.ai
Active / ExperimentalPermagent is a local-first AI agent desktop OS for macOS Apple Silicon. The agent, its memory, and your data live on your own hardware—privacy as a fact of the architecture, not a promise. A persistent, inspectable knowledge graph (the Brain) lets the agent learn over time, while a verified, auditable loop lets it act autonomously with machine-checkable evidence. Local models handle the always-on background work; frontier models are reached only when a task justifies the cost. Jesse Sharratt started the project with Henry and took the lead early on, captivated by the potential of powerful local AI—which is why he built both Spectral (the open-source memory engine behind the Brain) and Permagent itself as open source, to make it easy for others to benefit too.

Kinrows
IncubatingKinrows is a family household management app that brings the coordination of modern, multi-generational households into a single place. It combines a shared color-coded calendar, collaborative lists, polls and voting, household messaging, trip planning with live ETAs, budget and gift tracking, and step challenges via Apple Health—plus a "Care Cascade" for requesting coverage and an optional AI Concierge. The goal is to make the invisible mental load of family life visible and shareable: "Family life, moving together." The core app is free with no ads or data sales and a privacy-first architecture that isolates each household's data.
