Every company has a list of ideas. We exist to solve them.
IdeaSolved is a senior team of engineers and designers in Vancouver, BC. Since 2018 we’ve turned other people’s ideas into software that works every day. Now we do it with AI at the centre.

How we got here
2018
Built properly, or not at all
We started by building websites and software for businesses that had been let down before: half-finished projects, junior teams learning on the client’s budget, code nobody could maintain once the agency moved on.
So we set one rule on day one, and it still holds: the person who scopes the work is the person who builds it.
2018 to 2022
Seventy-five clients, one pattern
E-commerce platforms, SaaS products, mobile apps that sync with a website, integrations between systems that had never spoken to each other. Different industries, different budgets, and the same pattern every time.
The hard part was never the idea. Every client arrived with a list. What they were missing was a team that would take one item on that list all the way to done: live, used every day, paying for itself.

The name
Idea, solved.
That is where the name comes from. Not a lab, not a studio of concepts. An idea is only worth something once it’s solved, and solving takes engineering: data, integrations, security, testing and the patience to finish.
Our mark says the same thing. Two code brackets, the structure that makes software real, holding a dot and a dash: an idea in progress, on its way to done.
The structure: code that makes ideas real
The idea, in progress
2023 onward
AI changed what can be solved
When large language models became genuinely useful, the lists our clients brought us changed almost overnight. Read every invoice. Answer from the policy manual. Summarize the claim file before the adjuster opens it. Work that software could never do became possible.
We rebuilt the company around applied AI, and kept the engineering discipline that got us here. The demos got easier. Getting AI into production, safely, inside real systems, is still the hard part, and it’s the part we’re good at.
Today
A senior studio for Canadian companies
We’re a small, senior team in Vancouver, BC, headquartered in Richmond, working with mid-size and enterprise companies across Canada, in English and in French. AI agents and assistants are at the core of what we build, with the SaaS, web and mobile craft we’ve practised since 2018 around them.
How we work, in five sentences
Solved means in production.
A demo is a milestone, not a result. We measure ourselves by systems people use every day.
The people you meet do the work.
No bait-and-switch. The senior engineers on your first call are the ones who build and run your system.
We tell you the truth early.
Including when AI isn’t the answer, when your data isn’t ready, or when a simpler fix gets you most of the value.
Canadian by default.
Your data stays in Canada, privacy is designed in from the first sprint, and we work in both official languages.
We leave you stronger.
Everything is documented and tested, and your team learns to run it, so you’re never dependent on us.
What we believe about AI
AI is the most useful new tool in software in a generation, and the most over-sold. We would rather ship one system that works every day than ten demos that impress a steering committee.
