A Guild, Not a Startup
Strikaris operates on principles older than venture capital; craft, durability, and mutual benefit. We build systems designed to last generations, not quarters.
Build systems that serve their operators, not their vendors.
The modern software landscape is dominated by platforms designed for extraction; subscription treadmills, vendor lock-in, and artificial complexity that creates dependency rather than capability.
Strikaris exists to build the alternative: systems that organizations truly own, understand, and can maintain. Technology that increases sovereignty rather than eroding it.
We're not anti-cloud or anti-SaaS. We're anti-fragility. Every system we build is designed with graceful degradation, clear escape paths, and documented architecture that survives personnel changes.
Core Principles
-
Sovereignty First
Your systems should serve you, not create new dependencies.
-
Clarity Over Complexity
Simple systems that work beat complex systems that impress.
-
Craft Over Volume
We take fewer projects and do them exceptionally well.
-
Documentation as Deliverable
Every system includes the knowledge to maintain it independently.
Why "Strikaris"?
The name draws from strike; precise, decisive action; and the suffix -aris, suggesting mastery or belonging to a craft tradition.
A Strikaris is one who strikes with purpose: not recklessly, but with the accumulated wisdom of careful preparation. We aim to embody that ethos in every system we build.
The Guild
A small team of specialists. Quality over quantity.
