About Far Horizons

25 years at the frontier

I follow the fast water. I go where emerging capability meets unmet need, and I build there. VR in 2014. AR in 2016. LLMs in 2022. AI-native products now.

Operating Principles

How we work

Follow the fast water

Move where emerging capability meets unmet need, build there, move on when the water slows down.

Show, don't tell

People believe what they can touch. Ship working prototypes, not slide decks.

Go where the work is

58 countries and counting. Settling in Berlin now. The standard of delivery does not change with the timezone.

Build, don't advise

We would rather ship a working system than write a strategy document about one. Products over presentations.

Timeline

The pattern

Find the frontier, ship something real, move on when the water slows down.

Shifted from consulting-first to product-first. Building an AI-native property portal and multi-agent development tooling. The frontier moved. So did we.
Luke Chadwick

Founder

I have been writing code for 25 years. I have built and led teams, but I have never been the kind of leader who stops writing code.

In 2014, I co-founded REALABS inside REA Group and built the world's first VR property portal. We shipped 3D scanning and virtual reality property tours before the industry knew what to do with them. That team and that bet taught me what it looks like when a technology is about to reshape an entire sector.

For the last few years I have been deep in LLMs and AI. I consulted with Scout24 and AutoScout24 on AI adoption and architecture. I embedded with engineering teams to ship production systems. Code, not slide decks.

Now I am building two things. An AI-native property portal -- building from scratch with AI at the foundation. And multi-agent development tooling -- a system where AI agents collaborate on codebases with human oversight. I built it because I needed it.

Dual Australian/New Zealand citizen, settling in Berlin with my partner Lesia and English Cocker Spaniel Miles.

We are always looking for conversations with people working on similar problems -- AI-native products, multi-agent systems, or proptech.
