ARCA LABS · Infrastructure studio

We build the engines
that other companies run on

About us

ARCA LABS is an infrastructure studio founded by Chris Wesson and Daniel Fedak. We design, build and operate white-label platforms — then licence them to operators who bring the brand, the audience and the cause. Our first engine powers community subscription prize draws. Kind Wins is the first operator running on it.

What we are
— and what we're not

ARCA LABS is a platform company. We build engines — not campaigns, not skins, not one-off products. The engine is the thing we ship, licence and run.

Engine provides

Infrastructure

  • Subscription management — Direct Debit, Open Banking, card & wallet fallback
  • Auditable, verifiable draw mechanics
  • Winner notification & fulfilment flow
  • Automated charity transfer & public ledger
  • Operator dashboards, settlement & rev-share rules engine

Operators bring

Operators bring

  • Brand — their name, colours, tone of voice
  • Community — their audience and their acquisition
  • Cause — their nominated charity or giving mechanic

The first engine,
in the wild

Kind Wins

Kind Wins is the first operator skin running on ARCA. A community prize draw launching in Milton Keynes under the banner one ticket, two winners. Each week a subscriber wins a family day out — an adventure voucher and a restaurant voucher they pick themselves — and a local charity of their choosing receives a £100 donation in their name.
