What onRuntime Studio does

onRuntime Studio is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) operating as a web development and UI/UX design studio, founded in 2020 by Jérémy Baudrin, Lucas Bodin, and Antoine Kingue following informal collaborations dating to 2015. The studio maintains its legal seat in La Roche-de-Rame, with operational presence in Paris and Rouen, and serves French clients across at least eight regions including Île-de-France, Normandie, PACA, Pays de la Loire, Grand Est, Occitanie, and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Target segments include French startups, e-commerce businesses, luxury brands, and institutions, with engagements covering custom web and mobile applications, e-commerce builds, design systems, and progressive web apps built on a JavaScript/TypeScript core stack (React, Next.js, React Native, NestJS, Node.js) deployed across AWS, Google Cloud, Vercel, and Shopify partner infrastructure.

The studio operates a hybrid revenue model anchored on project-based custom development (formal quotes, 30% deposit / 40% start / 30% delivery, 30-day quote validity), supplemented by monthly hosting and maintenance subscriptions, technical training services, and €30/year association memberships from volunteer contributors. Beyond paid client services, onRuntime develops and maintains a portfolio of proprietary products: Tonight Pass (event ticketing platform), Kitchn (open-source React component library with 20,000+ monthly npm downloads), Kartrak (browser extension for digital carbon footprint using the Ecoindex methodology), Dark Theme for Instagram (browser extension with 52,000+ active users and 82,000+ total installs), ShadowBonus (affiliate platform for streamers), and Expat Facilities (student expatriation platform spanning 70+ countries with 300+ ambassadors and 2,000+ student users).

Governance rests with a board comprising Jérémy Baudrin, Lucas Bodin, and Killian Mendy, with the founders actively involved in operations. The organization has no external venture capital; only two micro-raises of approximately $5,700 each were recorded in 2022. The studio has publicly signaled an intent to convert from its current non-profit legal form into a for-profit company while continuing Tonight Pass development, a structural change that would unlock equity, hiring, and capital strategies currently constrained by the association framework.
