An Almanac of Operating Brands · Vol. I
being a Texas-registered company engaged in the building & operation of independent software brands.
§ I · At a glance
A short tabular summary, in the style of a corporate register.
§ II · Thesis
We build software we intend to run for a long time. We don’t raise outside capital for portfolio growth, and we don’t flip companies.
Copps Holdings exists to build and steward independent software brands. Each brand is run as its own product with its own customers, its own roadmap, and the operating discipline to compound over years — not quarters.
We are especially drawn to the unsexy corners of the market: software for camps, schools, small island businesses, and brick-and-mortar SMBs that the rest of the industry has overlooked. Real customers, real problems, durable revenue.
Shared infrastructure across the portfolio — engineering, design, billing, and AI tooling — lets each brand stay small and focused while shipping at the pace of a much larger team.
§ III · Portfolio
Each company below is a wholly-owned brand of Copps Holdings LLC. They share infrastructure, billing, and a small operating team — and run their own product surface.
Camp safety, communication & weather alerts.
Chirp is a multi-role platform for summer camps and residential programs — real-time weather alerts, parent and staff communication, emergency protocols, and roster management. Available on iOS, Android, and the web.
The marketplace for island experiences.
Barefootin connects travelers with vetted local guides, tours, and activities on small islands that the major travel marketplaces have skipped. A native marketplace with built-in payouts for vendors and a curated discovery experience for travelers.
AI-built websites for brick-and-mortar businesses.
Expesite is a white-label website builder for small businesses without a real digital presence. AI-generated prototypes, a locked production component library, and an opinionated hosted plan — sold by local closers, supported by central operations.

Partnership inquiries, billing or compliance questions, press, or anything brand-specific that needs an operator’s desk — start here.
