Subvisual

Subvisual is a senior product and engineering studio specialised in Web3 and fintech, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Braga, Portugal. The company builds digital products and the companies behind them, offering two primary paths: a Product Studio engagement and a Venture Studio co-build model. Trusted by clients including AT&T, Protocol Labs, Uphold, Utrust, Coverflex, Talent Protocol, Quill Finance, and Orki, Subvisual has launched over 300 projects and supported clients in raising over $200 million USD.

Core Products/Services

Subvisual operates across three main service lines:

Product Studio (The Sandbox) — An open-ended, custom collaboration to turn product intent into momentum. Engagements are shaped to the client's need and can take the form of design-led work (research, flows, interface), team augmentation (embedded engineers and product leads), or full end-to-end product builds with AI-augmented workflows. Web3-specific expertise is applied where the product touches chains, wallets, or tokens — covering architecture, data strategy, and secure user flows.

Venture Studio — A longer-term co-build partnership where Subvisual works alongside founders to build both the product and the company around it. This includes senior design, product and engineering work, branding and marketing, company-building support (hiring, operating cadence, compliance), and access to capital and network. Terms are flexible and tailored per venture.

Stables — A dedicated stablecoin payment rails service for businesses. Subvisual designs and runs the infrastructure needed to accept stablecoin payments, route funds across chains, settle and reconcile transactions, and execute programmable payouts. Targeted at PSPs, wallets, Web2 platforms, marketplaces, and B2B treasury use cases.
