At Naplen, we don’t just build products—we forge futures. We’re a team of founders, builders, and digital pioneers with a shared passion for launching game-changing ideas into the world. We live at the crossroads of Web3, AI, and TradFi, where innovation isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the way forward. 💡
A Journey Rooted in Hustle 💪
Naplen was founded by Kyle Pierce, a solopreneur and four-time founder who’s been deep in the trenches of startups and enterprises. He’s a creator at heart, serving as a founding engineer at Staging Labs (acquired), where alongside the CTO, he helped drive the development of three groundbreaking products in one year. Along the way, he learned the tough lessons from scaling ventures that required quick pivots and major adjustments. Kyle’s journey taught us that no matter how complex the tech, the right team makes all the difference.
Founders First, Builders Always 🛠️
We’ve been in your shoes—navigating investor meetings, pivoting products, juggling hiring, and driving growth while keeping the ship afloat. That’s why we founded Naplen to take the heavy lifting of building off your shoulders, letting you focus on what matters: your vision.
We're not just engineers—we're founders who know what it means to launch, iterate, and scale at lightning speed. Every line of code is treated as if it’s our own because we get that building your MVP quickly, securely, and with future scaling in mind is the only way to thrive in the competitive startup ecosystem.
