About

An independent software company in the Houston area

Akamatsu Solutions LLC is a Texas limited liability company founded in 2026. We build software-as-a-service products for small businesses — practical tools, thoughtfully made.

Why Akamatsu?

"Akamatsu" (赤松) is Japanese for "red pine." The red pine is an evergreen known for enduring harsh conditions — a fitting namesake for a company that aims to build software businesses can depend on for years.

What we're building

Akamatsu Solutions is the parent company of Ivy Loyalty , our flagship product: a loyalty rewards platform for small businesses, delivered as a progressive web app. It's the first of the products we're developing for the small businesses on Main Street.

Who's behind it

Akamatsu Solutions was founded by a software developer with about 30 years of experience spanning frontend development, backend systems, and infrastructure. After a career building software for others, they started Akamatsu Solutions to build products of their own — starting with the tools small businesses need most.

How we work

• Small business first. Every product decision starts from the needs of independent owners and their customers.
• Practical over flashy. Software should quietly do its job, day after day, without demanding attention.
• Built to endure. We'd rather ship something dependable than something merely new.
