Digvijay leads go-to-market strategy and business development at Cloud Studios, helping the studio turn finished products into ventures that reach the right people.

Cloud Studios is an independent product studio built on a simple belief: technology should feel effortless.

We turn complicated problems into clear, durable digital products. We choose the work deliberately, because quality comes from focus, not volume.

We build our own products and partner with teams that need product thinking, design, and engineering in the same room.

What is Cloud Studios?

Cloud Studios is an independent product and venture studio. It finds difficult problems, validates whether they are worth solving, builds the product, and develops the strongest products into companies. The studio is based in Berlin and works in English with an international outlook.

Who founded Cloud Studios?

Cloud Studios was founded by Eli Läufer, who leads the studio’s product direction, design, engineering, and venture building. Digvijay Rathore works across go-to-market strategy and business development, including the work that turns validated products into ventures with a path to customers.

What does Cloud Studios build?

Cloud Studios builds focused digital products and the companies around them. Its work currently includes GetMOW, an AI visibility company, and listn, a voice-first product for preserving personal stories. New ideas are tested before substantial product development begins.

How is GetMOW connected to Cloud Studios?

GetMOW is a Cloud Studios company. It was built inside the studio to help organisations understand and improve how they appear in AI search and recommendation systems such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.

Is GetMOW taking on new clients?

Yes. GetMOW is open and accepting new clients. It works on AI visibility, also called generative engine optimisation, for B2B software companies that are strong by traditional measures but are not named when buyers ask an AI. Founding terms are available for its first clients.

Is Cloud Studios an agency?

No. Cloud Studios primarily builds and publishes its own products. It selectively partners with outside teams when the work needs product thinking, design, and engineering in one place, but client services are secondary to building the studio’s own portfolio.

What is the Cloud Studios Founder Residency?

The Founder Residency is a paid venture-building path for an exceptional operator who wants to discover, validate, and build a company with Cloud Studios behind them. If the venture earns the right to exist, it can spin out as an independent company led by the resident.
