Building better business tools
Alan James — Founder
“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life.” — James 1:12
Alan James has spent 10+ years in sales, partnerships, and customer-facing roles, seeing firsthand where teams struggle: follow-ups slip, tools feel complex, and customers don’t get the experience they deserve. He builds apps that remove friction and lift outcomes—for businesses, for customers, and for the wider world.
Intake44 is his studio for practical, philanthropic product design: small tools that do one thing beautifully and compound into better days for everyone who uses them.
Our Philosophy
Useful > Flashy
Ship practical value first. Every feature should solve a real problem people face every day.
Kind by Design
Products that respect time, attention, and privacy. Technology should serve humanity, not the other way around.
Compounding Good
Better customer experiences make a better market. Small improvements create lasting positive change.
Why Intake44 Exists
- •Too many business tools are complex, expensive, and built for the tool maker, not the user.
- •Customer experience suffers when teams use friction-heavy processes and disconnected systems.
- •Small, focused tools that do one thing excellently often beat large, all-in-one platforms.
