Software built for the future of work.
We build AI-enabled applications and productivity tools that help small and mid-size businesses move faster, do more, and stay competitive.
The way businesses work is changing. Fast.
AI isn't coming — it's already here. Elm Creek helps businesses adapt by building custom software, AI-native tools, and providing the strategic consulting to make sense of it all.
We're a boutique studio based in Minnesota. We work closely with each client to deliver software that actually fits how you work — not software designed for someone else's problems.
What we do - Three ways we help your business
- Productivity Tools & SaaS. We're developing a suite of focused SaaS tools designed to make small teams run like larger ones. Purpose-built, AI-powered, and designed around how real businesses actually operate.
- AI Adoption & Enablement. Most businesses know AI matters. Few know where to start. We help your team identify the right tools, get them into daily workflows, and build the habits that make AI stick — without the hype and without the overwhelm.
- AI Strategy & Consulting. Not sure where AI fits in your business? We help you cut through the noise and build a practical roadmap — identifying the opportunities where AI actually moves the needle for your specific situation.
Our work - We build the tools we want to use
The fastest way to see how we work is to look at what we've shipped for ourselves.
Run your company on goals, not status meetings
TGAfocus puts every team, every goal, and honest activity signals on a single screen. Instead of waiting for a weekly update, leaders see which goals are actually moving — and which ones only look like they are.
We designed, built, and now run it end to end: the data model, the interface, the event history, and the optional Claude integration that drafts weekly digests and flags stalled work.

A week of market research, down to fifteen minutes
Overwhelmed Investor turns a week of market research into a plan a busy person can act on in fifteen minutes: a Sunday report, midweek alerts, and a watchlist where every name carries an entry, a stop, and a written trade plan.
We built the whole thing — the brand, the marketing site, the subscription and billing flow, and the research tooling behind the reports, model portfolio, and trade tracker that hold every decision to the same four gates.
- Brand and product design
- Full-stack development
- Market data pipelines
