We build the software small businesses were never supposed to be able to afford.

A U.S.-based team of engineers and operators, built by the people behind Like Media.

Our story

Great businesses, held back by software.

Black Atlas was started by the team at Like Media, a Pacific Northwest agency that has spent more than a decade helping small businesses grow. Over those years we kept seeing the same thing: great businesses held back by software that didn't fit. Teams paid for a dozen subscriptions and still ran the important stuff on spreadsheets. Leads went cold because follow-up depended on someone remembering.

Custom software was always the real fix, but it was priced for enterprises. AI-accelerated development changed that. Today, a small team can get a custom CRM or a whole business system built exactly for how they work, in weeks, for less than they're already spending on tools that half-fit.

That's what we do. We sit down with you, learn how your business actually runs, and build the system that runs it better. Then we stay on to support it as you grow.
