Falcata is a software studio in Riihimäki, Finland. We build hybrid
solutions and platforms for traditional and agentic use — software that
serves people directly and the AI agents working on their behalf through
the same foundations.

Founded in 2001 to provide custom software, Falcata today puts most of its
work into product development on [Furnace](/furnace), the platform behind
every Falcata product. Custom development continues alongside it, billed by
time and scoped one outcome at a time.

We work globally and operate fully remotely, in English and Finnish.

## The name

A falcata is a sword from pre-Roman Iberia: effective, with a curved,
harmonic line. Swords are long obsolete for their original purpose, and that
is part of the point — we value knowing our history as something that
shapes what we build now and next.
