We research, build, and operate focused businesses.
We start by understanding how a business actually works today, then build and operate a product only once the problem — and the demand for solving it — is real.
How Rellborne operates
Research first
We study how a business or industry actually operates before assuming we know the problem. That means direct conversations with real business owners, not desk research alone.
Validate before building
An idea earns real investment once it shows real evidence: a business owner willing to pay, pilot, or commit — not just polite interest or a working prototype.
Build and operate
What survives validation gets built properly and operated on an ongoing basis, with software and automation handling as much of the repetitive work as can be done reliably.
Focused products, operated independently
Each business under Rellborne solves a specific problem for a specific kind of customer. Each has its own offer, positioning, pricing, and customer segment.
Our portfolio includes businesses at different stages of development and validation.
Meterly is being built for indie and small SaaS teams that want a simpler way to meter customer usage and support usage-based pricing without building the entire metering layer themselves.

Details coming soonHow we research
Rellborne spends time understanding an industry before proposing a solution to it. Right now that includes direct conversations with independent business owners in home services and logistics — HVAC, freight, and restoration — about how they currently handle things like estimates, follow-up, dispatch, and day-to-day operations.
If you received a research email from Rellborne, this is why: we're trying to understand how the work actually happens, not sell you something in the first conversation.
About Rellborne
Rellborne is founder-led and operated by Nayab Hassan. The operating approach is to treat every business idea as a hypothesis until it's supported by evidence — a real customer, a real transaction, a real willingness to pay — rather than a working prototype or a good idea on its own.
