Custom software · Minnesota
Custom software,
shipped in days.
We build custom websites, business tools, and smart automations for Minnesota small businesses — calculators, analysis interfaces, client portals, and the systems that run in the background. Powered by AI, so what used to take a small agency a month, we turn around in a couple of days.
What we build for local businesses.
Real custom software — built around how your business actually works. Not a template, not a subscription. If you can describe it, we can probably ship it this week.
Custom Websites
Marketing sites, landing pages, and brand sites — designed for your business, not stitched together from a template.
Business Tools
Calculators, analysis interfaces, pricing models, client portals — anything your business uses to present, analyze, or decide. We turn spreadsheets into tools people can actually use.
Smart Automations
When something happens, something else happens automatically — a form submitted, a lead captured, an alert sent, a follow-up triggered. Set it up once, runs forever.
Integrations
Wire your existing tools together — your accounting, payments, email, and CRM. The plumbing nobody else wants to do.
AI Features
Smart search, summarization, document extraction, drafting, voice transcription — layered into your existing tools where it actually saves time.
Internal Tools
Admin dashboards, data-entry forms, reporting tools — the small things that make your team's day faster, that no off-the-shelf product nails.

How parablok works.
From idea to live in days. We use modern AI tools to compress the slow parts of building software — so what used to be a four-week agency engagement is usually two or three days of focused work.
Tell us what you need
Twenty-minute call — by phone, video, or in person. Bring sketches, a spreadsheet, a screen recording — whatever you've got.
We scope it that day
Same-day write-up: what we'll build, what it will cost, when it'll be live. No three-week proposal cycle.
We build with AI tooling
Our developers work alongside modern AI coding tools — that's what makes the speed possible. You see progress every day.
Deploy and stay close
Goes live on your domain, hosted, monitored. We stick around to fix, adjust, and add the things you didn't think of yet.
Local. Fast. A fraction of the cost.
parablok is built for Main Street businesses across Minnesota that need real, custom software but don't have six months and a six-figure budget for an agency. We work alongside you — not behind a project-management tool — and we ship.
- ✓Most projects shipped in 2–5 days
- ✓Flat-fee quotes — you know the number before we start
- ✓No long retainers, no surprise scope creep
- ✓Local to Minnesota — meet in person if it helps
- ✓We stay on after launch to keep things running
Where software is going
AI and crypto are reshaping what's possible. We build with both.
The toolchain has shifted. AI compresses the build cycle from months to days, and blockchain rails open up payment, ownership, and settlement patterns that simply didn't exist a few years ago. We work with both as a core part of how we ship — so the businesses we work with don't get left behind.
Crypto payments
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoin checkout alongside traditional payment rails — wired into your site, your invoicing, or your loyalty program.
Smart contracts
On-chain agreements for escrow, B2B settlement, and rule-based payouts — automated, auditable, and faster than the lawyer-and-spreadsheet route.
Tokenized assets & loyalty
Real digital ownership — loyalty tokens customers actually own, fractional asset programs, and collectibles that move on public ledgers.
Who's behind it
Mike Granger
Mike has spent two decades building and designing technology solutions, with executive-level business experience that shapes how he looks at a company's operations. That mix drives everything parablok builds — finding the friction in how a business runs and using the AI tools available today to engineer it away fast, with software your team will actually want to use.
Have an idea? We can probably ship it this week.
