Aperture Works · For investors
The fenestration software market is about to flip.
We're building the platform the trade should have had years ago.
Already shipping.
SCROLL _____________
____ 01 / The thesis
Same industry. Inverted pyramid.
For over thirty years, the software has been built for the factory.
The trade that measures, fits, and signs off the work has been left with spreadsheets, paper, and tools built for someone else's job. We've inverted the pyramid. Software designed around the people doing the work, not the people making the frames.
____ 02 / The market
Large. Fragmented. Underserved.
Fenestration is one of the largest and most underserved verticals in UK construction. Stable, fragmented, dependent on a workforce that has never had software that fits.

UK fenestration market
A market quietly waiting for its Netflix moment.
____ 03 / Why now
The window is open.
The conditions for a flip have never been this lined up. Regulation, generation, and incumbent inertia all pulling the same way at the same time.
Making Tax Digital is forcing every sole trader online for the first time.
A generation of trades that runs the business from a phone.
Incumbents that haven't shipped a real product in years.
Trade-led, not factory-led. The pyramid is already turning.
____ 04 / The team
Twenty years in fenestration. Time on the tools and time at the desk. Built by people who know what fabricator software gets wrong because we’ve used it.
05 / What’s not on this page
Some things belong in a room.
- Valuation
- Cap table
- The numbers
- The roadmap
If you’d like to see those, we’d rather talk.
