About

Small products, built by someone who has the solution for the problem.

Nspire App Co is a founder owned product studio in Bethesda, Maryland. We build software, devices and robots for problems we run into ourselves: a flight that might not leave on time, a daughter's tournament weekend, a house that needs an inspection, a local company that is still owned by the people who run it. Each product does one job for one kind of person, and we ship them one at a time.

The studio is run by Cliff Kornegay, Managing Director for NSPIRE at Quadel Consulting and Training, a national affordable housing consulting firm. He has spent twenty years in property standards compliance across multiple industries. He was Director of the NSPIRE program at HUD, where he wrote the national inspection standard and the Federal Register notices that the housing tools here are built on, and he received a 2024 Secretary's Award. Before that he served in the U.S. Navy and ran a home inspection business and a property service company. He holds three bachelor's degrees with honors from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in business and managerial economics, finance, and political science, and a master's in public policy from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. He also coaches girls youth lacrosse, which explains that section.

Some of what is listed you can use today. Most of it is in build, and every entry has a waitlist. If you have a problem we should build for, the contact form is right there.
