Help us learn from real work
Help shape MC Studio.
Bring us real furniture work. Help us understand what MC Studio needs to support, test relevant parts of the product and show us where important gaps still exist.
In return, you get closer access to the team and product, relevant early testing and Founding Collaborator benefits.
You do not need to switch software or buy MC Studio to take part.
Founding Collaborator benefits
Accepted early collaborators receive benefits on the MC Studio plans they choose, alongside closer access to the team and relevant product development.
The exact benefit is discussed directly with you. You do not need to buy MC Studio to take part.
Limited collaborator places available.
If your application is accepted, you are an MC Studio Founding Collaborator.
A collaboration that works both ways
Show us what real furniture work needs. Get closer to the product while we build it.
MC Studio started in one furniture workshop. Real professional work outside our own helps us test whether the product holds up across different ways of working.
You bring real work
Real projects + workflows
Show us how work actually moves through your current setup.
Important requirements + gaps
Help us identify capabilities your work genuinely depends on that MC Studio may not yet support.
What already works well
We want to understand what your current tools already do brilliantly, not only what frustrates you.
Relevant testing
When something in MC Studio is ready and relevant to your work, test it and tell us what holds up and what does not.
You get
Direct access to the team
Explain the context behind your workflow directly to the people building MC Studio.
Early testing + product updates
See relevant development earlier when it is ready to test and stay close to improvements that relate to your work.
Your work becomes evidence
If your workflow exposes a genuine missing capability or bad assumption, that evidence can help the development team decide what deserves attention.
Founding Collaborator benefits
Accepted early collaborators receive benefits on the MC Studio plans they choose. The exact benefit is discussed directly with you.
Help us find what is genuinely missing
If your workflow depends on something MC Studio does not yet support, we want to understand why it matters. Important gaps uncovered through real work can become development priorities.
That does not mean every requested feature is automatically built. We look at the underlying workflow need, not only the feature request.
Honest feedback
We value honest feedback more than positive feedback.
No testimonial, promotion or referral is required.
How it works.
- 01
Apply
Tell us what you make, how you work and what experience you can bring.
- 02
We confirm your place
If we have room and your professional workflow is relevant, we confirm your place. Once confirmed, you are an MC Studio Founding Collaborator. There is no second selection round.
- 03
Show + test
Walk us through real work, help us understand important requirements and test relevant parts of MC Studio as they become ready.
- 04
Stay close to what changes
See relevant improvements, product updates and testing opportunities as MC Studio develops.
What we ask from you
Usually one 20 to 30 minute conversation to understand your work, followed by occasional 15 minute check-ins when something relevant is ready to discuss or test.
Not looking to switch?
That is useful too.
You can take part without replacing the software you use today. We also want to understand what already works well, where another tool is deeply embedded in your workflow, and where MC Studio could complement rather than replace it.
Keep your current CAD
Help us test CRM, project workflows or other relevant parts of MC Studio.
Show us what already works
Good existing workflows are just as useful to understand as frustrating ones.
Test what is relevant
You only need to engage with the parts of MC Studio that make sense for your work.
Real furniture work. Different ways of doing it.
We want to learn from different ways of working.
- Custom cabinetry + built-ins
- Small + growing workshops
- People starting a professional workshop
- Client + project / CRM workflows
- CNC + outsourced production
- General 3D, specialist cabinet software + mixed workflows
You do not need to want the full CAD and manufacturing environment to be relevant. If your expertise sits in client work, projects, offers or workshop organisation, that experience is just as useful to us.
Happy with your current software? That is useful too.
We want to understand what already works well, not only what frustrates you.
Apply
Apply to become a Founding Collaborator.
Tell us what you make, how you work today and what your software or workflow needs to get right. We read every application personally.
If we confirm your place, you're in. There is no second selection round later.
Coming later
Ambassador programme in preparation.
Like what you see and know other furniture makers who could benefit from parts of MC Studio? We are preparing a separate Ambassador and referral programme for people who want to introduce MC Studio to their professional network.
We are still working out the benefits and referral structure. Details will be shared when the programme is ready. No referral is ever required to remain a Founding Collaborator.
