We build great concepts into businesses.
New product from zero. Working inside your business, shipping the change. Twenty years of emerging tech for the world's biggest brands. Mixed reality, blockchain, now AI.
Two ways we work. A venture built from the ground up, or the change built into a business that already exists. Same method either way: close the gap between the idea and the income, and between the team you have and the ambition you've set.
Sharpen the idea into a defined proposition. The emerging-tech angle, the market, and the route to revenue. We find the version worth building before a line of code is written.
Tangible software, real code, live in weeks not quarters. Designed and engineered in-house on a shared stack. Next.js, Supabase, Stripe, so quality and speed don't trade off.
The GTM proposition that turns a product into a revenue stream. Positioning, narrative, and the launch plan. We don't hand over a build and walk; we get it earning.
Four concepts from idea to working product, each its own brand, market and revenue model. The same capability we bring inside your business.
Reads a rider's position mid-challenge and fires a one-tap giving prompt at the moment that matters. The final climb, the last mile, deep-linking into JustGiving and Enthuse. A sharp, original mechanic, conceived and shipped end-to-end.
A mobile-first app for booking vetted local tradespeople. Find, book, and pay for quality work without the chase. On-demand trades booking taken from concept to live revenue events.
The record of your working life. Every shift, reference and credential, signed by the people who saw it, owned by you, trusted by anyone who needs to check. Proof, not profiles, built for the agent economy.
A prototype testing network value across business-centre networks, run live with a 100+ client network. It proved the model worked but didn't scale commercially, so we retired it. Built, tested, and called with the same discipline as everything we ship.
A contemporary innovation lab carrying a founding date older than most countries. The heritage is real and it's a story almost no competitor can tell.
627 Labs is an innovation and product studio: strategy, product, design, build and go-to-market under one roof. It lives at the point where new ideas either become real products or quietly die as strategy, and it exists to make sure they become real.
Founded by Nick Riggall, who built GPJ Labs, the innovation arm of George P Johnson, and led strategy and digital alliances at KPMG UK, shipping emerging-tech work for Nike, Cisco, IBM, Salesforce, Unilever and Warner Bros. Discovery. The same senior hands now design and build the studio's own products.
The pattern never changed: brilliant people and big ambition, stuck in frameworks that stopped them building. 627 Labs does the opposite. Shape the concept, ship the product, launch the proposition. And increasingly, do the same inside businesses that have the ambition but not yet the path.
A new venture, or a business that needs the change shipped inside it. Thirty minutes, no deck required.
