What Adventure Studio does

Adventure Studios is a privately held, founder-owned design and development studio headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. Founded in 2006 by Brian Scholl (a veteran designer with nearly 40 years of experience) and his partner Kathryn, the company operates from a converted 1920s carriage garage dubbed the "iGarage" under a remote-first model, enabling it to serve clients globally and deliver realtime content in upwards of eight languages. The studio sells a modular suite of ten cloud-based SaaS products spanning legal project management (ProjectCenter, Contract Manager, Entity Tracking, COI Tracker, Peer Review), executive planning (Business Planning Process), marketing operations (Marketing ToolKit, Emailanator, Packdango) and learning delivery (CourseWorks), each built as an independent tool that can integrate with the others to form a tailored system. Underlying technology is full-stack web and mobile with dedicated/isolated hosting environments, multilingual realtime content delivery, and integration with Adobe Creative Cloud for design and production.

The business model blends recurring SaaS subscriptions with project-based professional services. CourseWorks is published at three monthly tiers ($150/$325/$500) with no per-user fee and offers self-serve signup, while the remaining nine products follow a quote-based, multi-year subscription model in which customers "only pay for the services you use" and pricing is disclosed only after a demo. Complementary revenue streams include custom design, branding, illustration, web/app development, interactive media, hosting, content creation and training (online via AdventureMeeting.com and onsite). Primary customer segments are in-house legal and compliance teams in regulated industries (notably healthcare, where ProjectCenter has been used for over 20 years), marketing and communications teams handling brand-consistent newsletter and asset distribution, executive teams running business planning workflows, and agencies/studios outsourcing custom digital builds. The company discloses no external funding, parent company, subsidiaries or institutional shareholders; ownership and operating leadership are concentrated with the two founders.

Direct peers

• Teachable: Teachable is a self-serve course platform with monthly subscription tiers and built-in learner management — directly comparable to CourseWorks' self-serve monthly subscription pricing and micro-learning delivery model.
• Thinkific: Thinkific is a course creation and delivery platform with tiered subscription pricing and branded course experiences — directly comparable to CourseWorks' Starter/Basic/Pro monthly subscription tiers and brand-customized course delivery model.
• Agiloft: Agiloft is a contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform with highly customizable workflows, directly comparable to Adventure Studios' Contract Manager product which also emphasizes customizable contract workflows and automated alerts/reminders.
• Onit: Onit provides enterprise legal matter management, contract lifecycle, and workflow software for in-house legal departments — closely comparable to Adventure Studios' ProjectCenter, Contract Manager, Entity Tracking and COI Tracker suite for legal and compliance teams.
• Ironclad: Ironclad is a modern CLM platform serving in-house legal teams with contract repository, workflow and renewal features — directly competitive with Adventure Studios' Contract Manager for the same legal operations buyer.

Broad incumbents

• Basecamp: Basecamp is a project collaboration platform explicitly named by Adventure Studios as inadequate for long-term 1–2+ year complex projects — Marketing ToolKit is positioned as a more workflow-oriented alternative to Basecamp-class tools for asset and marketing project management.
• Mailchimp: Mailchimp is a broad incumbent email marketing platform — Emailanator is positioned as a cost-effective alternative specifically for organizations sending 10,000+ emails/month, making Mailchimp the primary competitive benchmark in that segment.
• Constant Contact: Constant Contact is a broad incumbent email newsletter platform serving SMB and mid-market — comparable to Emailanator's email newsletter engine for organizations that need branded, multi-template newsletter production.
• Mitratech (TeamConnect): Mitratech's TeamConnect is an established legal matter management and compliance platform serving legal departments — a broad incumbent whose functionality overlaps substantially with Adventure Studios' ProjectCenter, COI Tracker and Entity Tracking.
