CHANSTUDIO.
A working studio overlooking Dubai Creek at night: a ChanStudio folio, Stealth Labs and Forgeai on a walnut shelf, and a colourful Founder Threads jacket on a clothing rail. A small Milkfloat keepsake and Earworm phone sit among them.

Stealth Labs

The UK AI studio I co-founded in 2025 with Sammy Harris. It designs, builds and operates software for government and enterprise; I now serve as non-executive co-chair.

The leap. The fear was money, and being back in a job within six months. Instead, the question became how to deliver the work we’d won.

Coming soonChannel Chan.

Some were born here. Most arrived. All of them are building.

A new podcast with Steve Chan, from Dubai, for people building tech companies. Conversations about the decisions behind a tech business: the hire, the pivot, the deal that didn’t happen. The ambition, the uncertainty, and what people learn along the way.

Let’s talk tech.

Building a tech company? Tell me about the technology decisions ahead.

I advise; I’m not investing yet. The coffee’s on me.

Forgeai is for businesses adopting AI. ChanStudio advisory helps tech startup founders make clearer technology decisions. Explore a Working Session, AED 3,500 →
