Andy, Ana, Caidan, Chenyu, Elijah, and Hannah were carefully selected to serve as a fully autonomous leaders. INTDEV operates as a holacracy, distributing authority and decision-making power while removing the traditional hierarchies common in many companies. This structure is reflected in the near-equal equity ownership shared among partners.




III. Space


The Internet Development Studio Company Office Space ("the office"), is a 5,319 sq. ft. location you can visit in Pike Place, Seattle, WA with an invitation. We practice the art of building products and companies in real time, centered on two philosophies: “do your best” and “everything matters.”


We have ample space to experiment and cook together, which has resulted in a third space that features art from local artists, private gatherings for learning, and a community of builders coming together to build products.


Ideally, INTDEV and the founders here will grow into a company and third space that lasts for more than 40 years, doing its part to make Belltown, Seattle a sought-after destination for both tourists and builders. Our aim is to nurture people, products, and companies to their highest potential, alongside some of the best talent in the city.
