§ 01 — Position
Things LLC builds and operates a group of software, data, and infrastructure businesses. Five lines of work share one engineering organization, one data layer, and one standard of care.
Lines of business
§ 02 — PracticeData Products & APIs
Structured data, research tools, and APIs that help organizations access, organize, and use information more effectively.
OperatingEnterprise Software Solutions
Platforms that support business operations — scheduling, inventory, customer management, payments, and industry-specific workflows.
OperatingDeveloper Tools & Automation
APIs, integrations, automation systems, and technical tools built for developers, businesses, and engineering teams.
OperatingCommunications Infrastructure
APIs and services that connect applications with fax, voice, messaging, and established document transmission networks.
OperatingApplications & Platforms
Standalone applications and specialized platforms built for consumers, professionals, businesses, and specific industries.
OperatingOne foundation, many markets
Every line of business draws on the same substrate. Data ingestion, identity, billing, deployment, and observability are built once and reused, so a new venture begins from a working foundation rather than a blank repository — and the data layer that serves the API business also serves the platforms above it.
Native clients, web consoles, and public surfaces
APIs, agents, jobs, and integrations
Ingestion, normalization, storage, and warehousing
§ 04 — Principles
Owned infrastructure
We build and maintain the systems we depend on. Fewer external dependencies, lower vendor risk.
Incremental delivery
Software ships in small, tested increments. Nothing waits for a quarter to close.
Long-term ownership
Products are built to be operated for years. Roadmaps are planned against decades, not exits.
