What We Do
Today, we’re left with just a few large incumbents. Lacking instinct and courage, they use research and analysis as crutches to make cold, unexciting and derivative products.
Consumers are bored, no longer inspired by technology and instead feel uneasy about big tech and its impact on people's lives and society.
Nothing is igniting change in the world.
We’re here to make tech fun again, unleash creativity, and inspire our community to shape the future with us.
