SageCG · Venture Studio · Est. 2003
We start, build, operate, and sell useful companies and apps.
A small venture studio in Virginia. Instead of investing in other people’s ideas, we build a focused portfolio of our own — across B2B SaaS, EdTech, GovTech, sports, and community.

Three companies. Three apps. One studio.
LeaderReps LLC
ShippingCohort-based leadership reps, coached daily by AI.
A cohort-based professional development platform for emerging and mid-level leaders. Participants run an 8-week program of daily AM/PM practice, live coaching, and short 'reps' — recorded leadership moments that an AI evaluator scores against a 16-behavior taxonomy.
CBR Labs LLC
ShippingPermanent hardware redaction for government tablets.
A US-based device lab that physically removes cameras, microphones, speakers, and radios from iPads and Android tablets, then ships each unit with a serial-numbered certificate, photo evidence, and a tamper-evident chain of custody — built for SCIFs, agencies, and prime contractors.
VoraPrep LLC
ShippingPass your CPA, EA, CMA, CIA, CISA, or CFP.
An adaptive web and mobile prep platform for six US professional certification exams, combining a Prometric-style simulator, AI tutoring, and a personalized study plan that recalibrates as you practice.
ToothHound
In buildKnow when the tide turns up teeth.
A free web app for fossil shark-tooth hunters — a daily Hunt Score for every beach, a Gemini-backed tooth identifier, and a parcel-level land assessor for hunters who want to buy the dig site, not just visit it.
The Longest Table
In buildBring the neighborhood back to the table.
A platform that helps communities organize and host long-table dinners — the kind that turn strangers into neighbors.
Boys Football Draft
In buildThe draft room, finally done right.
A purpose-built draft companion for fantasy football leagues — fast cheat sheets, live values, and zero clutter.
SageCG Labs
On the bench.
Early concepts at the intersection of robotics and vibe coding. If one earns its keep on the bench, it graduates into the portfolio.
Workshop
ConceptVibe-code your robot.
Talk to your hobby robot in plain English. Workshop compiles natural-language prompts into safe, testable firmware patches for Unitree, iRobot Create 3, and common 6-axis arms — no ROS required.
Pickline
ConceptPick-and-pack for the kitchen counter.
A tabletop pick-and-pack robot for Etsy and Shopify operators shipping 20–200 orders a day. Configured by drag-and-drop in ten minutes. Replaces a part-time packer, not a warehouse.
Riff
ConceptInternal tools, in a sentence.
Describe an internal tool — a CRM view, an approvals workflow, a back-office form — and Riff builds, hosts, and shares it with your team in one click. The code is generated, editable, and yours to keep.
Our thesis
Small bets. Long horizons.
The studio compounds patiently. The companies stand on their own.
Operator-first
Every company in the portfolio is one we’d want to run ourselves. We don’t ship ideas we wouldn’t show up to on a Monday.
Built to last
Profitable, durable, useful. We optimize for compounding over fundraising, and for users over hype cycles.
Shared spine
One studio, one back office, one set of tools. Companies ship faster because they share the boring parts.
Independent brands
Each company stands on its own — its own name, audience, and economics. The studio is the scaffolding, not the storefront.
Alumni
Companies that finished their run.
Not every chapter stays open forever. These served their customers, ran their course, and closed cleanly.

Wound downStaff augmentation for federal and commercial Oracle E-Business Suite programs — placing experienced functional leads, super-users, and module specialists into short-cycle implementations and upgrades.
OneTeam Consulting, LLC
Wound downHelp-desk and application support for the Defense Agencies Initiative (DAI), the DoD’s Oracle E-Business Suite ERP. Tier-1 through tier-3 support for end users and program offices across the DAI footprint.
Behind the studio
One operator. Twenty-three years. A focused portfolio.
