Builder
She Thrives Software Consulting
The Story
Not another agency. A builder who stays.
I'm Kate Parker, and I run She Thrives Software Consulting out of Smyrna, Tennessee. I build custom software for small businesses all over Middle Tennessee — dashboards, private AI brains, custom GPTs, and small phone-native tools that quietly handle the jobs business owners keep forgetting.
My background is in building tools that small businesses actually own. I'm not a reseller, I'm not a franchise, and I'm not running cookie-cutter campaigns. I write the code. I set up the integrations. I train you on the tool I just built for you. And when the project's done, it's yours.
“When I tell you something works, it's because I use it every day.”
I started She Thrives because I saw a gap. Small business owners in our area were being sold expensive agency packages that didn't deliver, or they were renting SaaS platforms that kept raising the price year over year. Neither works.
What I offer instead is straightforward: one-time builds, priced once, built once, yours to keep. I keep it small on purpose — because that's how you get software that actually fits how you work, not a template dressed up to look custom.
100%
Custom-built, never a template

Every project, start to finish
Guiding Principles
What I believe
Community first
Small businesses are the backbone of our community. Every dollar you spend locally ripples outward.
Software for everyone
Custom software and AI tools should be accessible to small businesses, not just big companies with big budgets.
You own what we build
One-time builds. No recurring agency retainers. No platform lock-in. When the project is done, it's yours.
Small on purpose
I keep the business lean so every client gets my full attention. Real relationships, real ownership, real results.
Off the Clock
When I'm not working with clients, I'm probably at a local coffee shop, exploring Middle Tennessee with my family, or tinkering with the next tool that'll save a business owner 10 hours a week.
