A small UK studio
IP3 Studio is an independent product studio based in London. We design and ship editorial, civic, and analytical tools — calmly, without ads or affiliate fees. Endorsed by Tech Nation as a UK Global Talent route in the digital technology sector.
Work
The studio ships its own products alongside client work. Each one is intentionally narrow — a single useful thing, made well.

An editorial atlas of UK startup funding.
A single, monochrome reference for UK startup funding — public grants, equity schemes, ARIA programmes, accelerators, private capital, and R&D tax credits. Editorial, not advisory. No affiliate links, no introducer fees. Sortable opportunities table, interactive matchmaker, R&D calculator, and a regions map.

An independent, non-commercial VPN comparison.
A PrivacyTests-style scorecard that ranks VPN tools across privacy, security, transparency, value, and ethics. Every claim is sourced, and the studio takes no money from the VPNs it ranks — no affiliate links, no sponsored placements. The same editorial, no-incentives stance as ukfunding.io, applied to a market built on the opposite.

Sixty seconds inside the national budget.
A 60-second game that follows where every tax bill actually goes — across the UK, US, France, and Italy. Pick a country, move through its budget, and watch public money get allocated in real time. A small, playable answer to a question most people never see explained.

A map of what the UK is missing.
A living map of concrete, fillable gaps in the UK's civic, economic, and technological fabric — what's missing, what would fill it, and who could build it. Built to turn “someone should really do X” into a browsable, sourced list. An early, uncurated v0 that grows over time.
Past clients & collaborators
A short list of organisations the studio has shipped for or alongside. We keep the bar higher than the count.
Coming soon
The studio is in its first chapter. Past collaborators and new clients will be listed here as engagements wrap. In the meantime, see what we’ve shipped under our work.
Studio
IP3 Studio is the working name of IP3 Studio Ltd, an independent product studio incorporated in England & Wales in 2023 and based in London. It takes on a small number of public-interest builds at a time — editorial atlases, civic tools, analytical instruments — and ships them slowly, without ads or affiliate fees.
The studio holds a Tech Nation Global Talent endorsement in the digital technology sector. Tech Nation is the UK’s recognised endorsing body for the Global Talent route in digital tech — it vouches for individuals considered to be making, or with the potential to make, a meaningful contribution to the UK’s technology ecosystem. The endorsement is held by the studio’s founder; the brief — public-interest software made in Britain — is the commitment that came with it.
Today the studio is in its first chapter. The first product — ukfunding.io — is live. More follows. The work is intentionally narrow: tools that explain something important, that don’t need a sales team, and that earn their keep on their own merits.
Manifesto
Britain has always been a country of small workshops. Software, we think, is no different.
We make our work in London because the work is better for it. The UK is small enough to know its own institutions — the NHS, Companies House, HMRC, the regulators, the public bodies, the funders — and big enough to demand serious tools to navigate them. That is exactly the brief a public-interest studio is for.
We build for the UK first by default. UK English, UK GDPR, UK tax law, UK funding ecosystems. We don’t take a US-shaped product and translate it into pounds; we start from the ground here, where the rules and the readers actually live.
We resist the temptation to be a marketing company in a designer’s costume. No affiliate fees, no introducer commissions, no advertising, no content written to please a search algorithm. If a tool is worth using, that ought to be enough.
We think the most useful British thing we can do is to make information about Britain clearer — funding, regulation, public services, the unromantic plumbing that decides whether a small company survives its first three years. That is the editorial brief and we mean it literally.
We are slow. We ship a small number of things, well, with our names on them. The studio is intentionally small so the work can stay precise. We expect to be doing this for a long time.
