Welcome to Barlow Labs

We’re a low-key group of builders (we prefer the term bootstrappers) obsessed with harnessing new tech to create products that meet real human needs. We’ve observed a missing piece in our ecosystem: long-term encouragement, accountability, and insight-sharing based on sustained relationships between trusted creators. And since we’re builders we thought we’d start by building the missing community ourselves.

Our Guiding Principle

We practice like we play and are assembling a global network of domain experts, luminaries, and unorthodox dreamers that are passionate about contributing to a new way to size tech to the humans it must serve. Maybe you know one of those people or are one yourself.

Our Product Design Ethic

Rethink the human-machine interface based on an upgraded razor: a person must not serve their tech.

Our Customer Imperative

Strive to leave no wo/man where we find them, alone, abandoned, or lost in the machinery. We promote search and rescue.

Built in the Pacific Northwest

Our headquarters is in the fractal known as Seattle, surrounded by national parks, alpine lakes, and mountains still waiting to be named. We believe beautiful places make the best tech.
