Products. Capital. Culture.

LA MANO is a private studio. We build software that thinks, trade live markets with our own money, and move music catalogs between serious people. Client work runs on the same playbook as our capital. That keeps everyone honest.

Three crafts, one hand

/ 01

Product & MVP Engineering

You arrive with an idea. Weeks later it is software with users. We cut everything that does not need to exist, put AI where it actually counts, and ship before the excitement wears off.

  • Zero to one MVPs
  • AI native product design
  • Rapid iteration & deployment

AI & Automation Consulting

We automate the boring and the impossible. Agents that decide, pipelines that run at 4am, machines we trust enough to hold our own money. That trust was earned, not assumed.

  • Autonomous agent systems
  • Workflow & ops automation
  • Quantitative tooling

Music Advisory & Management

We sit between catalogs and capital. Brokerage and advisory for music rights in the mid market, and management for Grammy nominated artists who have worked with the biggest names in the game.

  • Catalog brokerage & advisory
  • Rights & royalty diligence

Sample This

Music Tech · Marketplace +
Live · samplethis.com Royalty Bearing Audio Watermarking

A royalty bearing sample library made with artists who have actually charted. License a sound, the artist gets paid, everyone sleeps well at night. Every sample carries watermarking tech, so a sound can be traced wherever it travels after it leaves the store. We built the catalog, the store, the payout rails, and the tracking ourselves.

Beta · Access on request No Code VST · Instruments & FX

Furo builds instruments from words. Type the sound that lives in your head and a working plugin comes back: play it, bend it live while you listen, download it, make a record with it. Effects and instruments, full VSTs, zero code. State of the art audio tech under the hood. Still in beta. Already a little bit magic.

Confidential · Under NDA Brokerage & Advisory Artist Management

We sit between catalogs and capital. Brokerage and advisory for artist catalogs and music rights in the mid market: sourcing, valuation, negotiation, close. On the other side of the desk we manage Grammy nominated clients who have worked with the biggest artists in the world. Both sides of the music business, one set of hands.

Private · Team access M&A Intelligence AI Copilot

Our unfair advantage in the catalog game, built entirely in house. Every morning it scores fresh deal flow across Spotify and TikTok. The team works one pipeline from first hello to signature. An AI copilot reads the contracts. A valuation engine runs the same math the majors run. We just see the board first.

Private · Live capital Autonomous Trading AI Agents

A trading system with no human in the loop and our own money in the account. Momentum engine, regime overlay, hard risk limits. It survived backtest, then months of paper trading, then earned real capital. We hold our machines to the same standard we hold people: prove it.

How we operate

Studios sell hours. Agencies sell decks. We sell the thing, working.

Every client system runs the same playbook as our own capital: hard gates before launch, small moves made quickly, and the discipline to kill what only demos well.

A few engagements at a time, never more. When we say yes, the whole studio leans in.
