What We Do
AE is a software development, data science, and design agency. That part is common. The rest is extraordinary. Founded in 2016, AE has bootstrapped its way to 150+ individuals working to increase human agency through technology. No venture capital. No private equity. No outside shareholders. This allows a longtermist perspective for clients and employees that leads to unparalleled thought-partnership and creativity.
Some of the profits from our consulting business are channeled into skunkworks - internal, agency increasing projects we incubate, turning our world-class team into founders themselves. Some are kept, some are sold! Like EletricSMS which we sold for a few million dollars. Profits from these ventures are deployed towards our big-hairy-audacious-goal: the development of a brain computer interface (BCI) operating system that increases agency rather than interruption of our thoughts with ads.
Let our agency increase yours.
