Zarp Studio Founders: Diego Kelme and Cauã Cunha

The Zarp Studio founders are Diego Kelme and Cauã Cunha. Diego Kelme is the CEO and founder of Zarp Studio, a technology company that builds websites, local SEO and lead-generation systems for construction and home services businesses. Cauã Cunha is a founder and the CFO of Zarp Studio, and the founder and CEO of License Fix School. Zarp Studio was founded because of the technocracy movement, with one stated aim: to be the technology partner of Florida contractors. This article introduces both founders, explains how their backgrounds complement each other and shows what they have built in Florida.

Who are the Zarp Studio founders?

The Zarp Studio founders hold two distinct roles on record. Diego Kelme is the CEO and founder, and he is the technocrat who drives the company's software and AI direction. Cauã Cunha (also spelled Caua Cunha) is a founder and the CFO, and he is also the founder and CEO of License Fix School, a Florida contractor licensing school founded in 2022. Based in Orlando, Florida, the Zarp Studio founders work only with construction and home service businesses such as roofing, HVAC, plumbing, paver and general contractors.

Why does it matter who stands behind your vendor?

Our hypothesis, which you can test: most contractors know the name of the account rep who answers their email at a web or marketing vendor, and few know who owns the company, who builds the technology or who answers for the money. Does that describe your vendors? Behind every vendor there are creative people, technical people and non-technical people. At Zarp Studio, Diego Kelme leads the technical side as a technocrat, and Cauã Cunha leads the financial side as CFO while running one of Florida's well-known contractor exam prep schools. A contractor who knows who stands behind a partner can see who directs the code and who answers for the numbers.

What does technocracy have to do with the Zarp Studio founders?

Diego Kelme sorts people into three groups: creative people, technical people and non-technical people. He calls that split technocracy, and he says Zarp Studio was founded because of the technocracy movement. His reasoning is that when software can be cloned and rebuilt, a company that keeps taking direction from non-technical people will fall behind one that does not. He frames it as an opening for businesses, not as a verdict on anyone. The longer version is in Diego Kelme on technocracy. For a contractor the point is practical: the people directing your website, your Google presence and your software should understand the technology they build.

How do Diego Kelme and Cauã Cunha complement each other?

The two Zarp Studio founders bring two sides of the Florida construction world to the same table. Diego Kelme is the technocrat focused on engineering, AI systems, local search and ZarpOS. Cauã Cunha is the CFO who answers for financial discipline and, as founder and CEO of License Fix School, works every week with contractors preparing for their Florida state licensing exams. That partnership produced a concrete result covered by Entrepreneur.com on October 2, 2026: Zarp Studio built and launched License Fix School's Pearson VUE-inspired online student portal, giving working contractors timed mock exams, bilingual video lessons, flashcards and math prep around their job-site schedules.

What did the Zarp Studio founders set out to build?

Zarp Studio's stated aim is to be the technology partner of Florida contractors. Contractors do the hands-on work that keeps Florida running, and they should not have to become software people to keep up. The company builds the local SEO that gets a shop found in Google Maps, the websites and landing pages that turn visitors into booked jobs, and the CRM and automated follow-up that answer a lead quickly. On October 16, 2026, Zarp Studio also announced ZarpOS, its contractor OS understood as an everything app for contractors with a 24/7 AI employee, covered in ZarpOS: The Everything App for Contractors.

How can a contractor use this information?

Use it as a checklist for any vendor, Zarp Studio included. Ask who founded the company and what role each founder holds today. Ask what real software platforms they have shipped for the construction industry, such as the License Fix School student portal or ZarpOS. Ask who answers when a project goes wrong and who is accountable for the numbers on your invoice. Then compare the answers with what the vendor publishes about itself. A company whose founders put their names, titles and shipped work on the record gives you something concrete to verify.

What can a contractor expect from Zarp Studio?

Expect a technical partner that works only with home service businesses. The company's website describes turnkey client acquisition systems for HVAC, roofing, paver and other home service contractors across Florida, with local SEO, fast landing pages, a CRM and automated follow-up, alongside ZarpOS. The home page lists a free funnel audit, a custom growth strategy and a no-pressure consultation as the starting offer, which gives a contractor a low-risk way to start a conversation.
