We're Pink Lemon8
A custom software studio based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We build software that solves real business problems — not generic tools that almost work.
Small by design
When you work with us, you work directly with the people building your software. No account managers, no offshore handoffs, no corporate telephone game. We keep it lean because that's how the best software gets built.
Why “Pink Lemon8”?
Every good company name has a story. Ours is that we wanted something memorable that didn't sound like every other tech consultancy. Pink Lemon8 is weird. It sticks. And building custom software is a bit weird too — taking someone's unique problem and turning it into working code. We lean into that.
Based in Winnipeg
Our home base is Winnipeg, Manitoba — but we work with clients across Canada and beyond. Modern tools make remote collaboration seamless. That said, if you're local and want to grab coffee and sketch on a whiteboard, we're into that too.
What we believe
Software should solve problems, not create them.
Too many businesses are stuck with tools that don't fit. We build software that adapts to you, not the other way around.
Small teams build better software.
Big agencies have layers of management and communication overhead. We keep it lean: the people you talk to are the people writing your code.
Honesty beats salesmanship.
We'll tell you if your project isn't a good fit, if custom software isn't the answer, or if your timeline is unrealistic. We'd rather lose a deal than set you up for disappointment.
Done is better than perfect.
Working software that ships beats perfect software that never does. We build in iterations, get feedback early, and refine based on real use.
