Papi Labs builds practical AI tools for people, businesses, and communities the tech industry overlooks. Stakeholder capitalism, bootstrapped, mission-led.
Practical. Bootstrapped. Mission-led.
Papi Labs is a venture builder studio that adheres to stakeholder capitalism: we're responsible to the people who use our tools, the people who work with us, and the communities our work touches, not only to a balance sheet. We make things that earn revenue and earn their place in people's lives.
Hundreds of millions risk being left behind as AI transforms the world around us. That's the problem Papi Labs exists to solve.
We've trained hundreds of people in real AI skills, run hackathons and workshops where non-technical founders and executives shipped working apps in a day and gained genuine confidence with AI, and built more than 100 apps ourselves. This isn't hype, it's a method that works.
We don't take outside money. That keeps us aligned with the people who use our tools instead of with investors who'd push us to extract from them. We grow at the pace the mission allows.
Stakeholder capitalism doesn't mean charity. We make money so we can build more, reach further, and offer free access to people who need it. The mission needs revenue, not subsidy.

Ask for early accessHe was a Lur from Iran, born in Borojerd. An electrician by trade. He cycled everywhere, helped everyone, friends and strangers alike, and built a life on quiet generosity. The kind of person who'd look in on a neighbour because he'd noticed they'd been quiet that week.
Papi Labs is a tribute to him. The aim is the same as his was, just at a different scale: build things that help as many people as possible, without asking for anything cruel in return.
The mark is the iwan, the pointed Persian arch he would have walked under in Borojerd. In modern Persian, the word for a walled paradise garden is Pardis. The English word "paradise" comes from the Old Persian pairidaēza, meaning "walled enclosure" or a royal pleasure garden. This studio is one of those gardens. The iwan is the door.
Papi Labs is founded and run by Saman Taherimoud, an AI educator and solutions architect based in Newcastle upon Tyne. His work, story, and writing live at samantm.com.
