About Us
LittleMachines was founded by working entertainment industry professionals who solve workflow problems by building the products they can’t believe didn’t already exist.
OUR STORY
LittleMachines was born from the road - the constant search for gear that actually does what you need it to do in a live environment.
Our founders bring years of hands-on experience in entertainment across concerts, theatre, corporate events, film, and beyond. When the tools didn’t exist to solve a real problem, we built them.
That’s the LittleMachines philosophy: find the real problem, build the smallest possible thing that actually solves it, and make it reliable enough to trust in a show environment.
