Story

tonoïd is a microstartup* studio – it comes from french “Tonneau à idées” which means the barrel of ideas.
We all scribble ideas or problems we stumbled upon on our notes. With tonoïd, we bring them to life as bootstrapped-profitable online businesses.
* Microstartup: A nice way to describe a small business that is profitable and solves a specific problem without any external funding nor billion-dollar market size.
