Human progress depends upon material advancement – the development of new technologies, the discovery of new science, and the design of new products that expand human capability. Material advancement is not an end in itself: it matters because it lifts living standards, broadens experiences, and gives people the agency to build a better future. [1]
At the same time, we believe that the order of technology development is critical to human flourishing. Differential technology development, the process of deliberately accelerating the creation of safety-enhancing technologies, is how we choose to balance techno-optimism with our concern for humanity's future.
We choose engineering as our tool for material advancement and differential technology development.
Differential technology development drives how we choose projects. We're building a 21st-century research lab focused on 21st-century problems. Not every technology is inevitable – rather, the market fails to incentivise domains that are key to human flourishing. We work in these areas.
We are one of ARIA's nine Activation Partners. Our pitch is simple: scientific breakthroughs often require tools that don't yet exist. We develop these new tools - enabling scientific discovery by inventing new hardware.
Our hardware team is focused on securing advanced AI systems, we demonstrated the flexHEG architecture with Ulyssean and are now working to implement it at scale. We're working on both multilateral governance and hardware security.
We apply physical sciences to counter biological threats, we are partnering with the University of Sheffield on an automated RNA vaccine production system, with Oxford University on next-generation respiratory PPE, and with RAND on building-scale biodefense systems.
Trusted by 4 of the world's top 10 universities, international funders, and global startups. We have a track record delivering incredible engineering progress across disciplines.
Sector Materials
A two week sprint to develop a piston press for isolating mesoporous silica nanoparticles.
Sector Amodo
In 2026 we'll double Amodo. This is how we're thinking about it and 5 high-leverage roles to help us do it.
Sector Biosecurity
A research project for the RAND Corporation. The work identifies potential preparedness measures for challenging biological Threats
Sector EEE
A PCB to for measuring power supply ripple rejection.
We're a high-growth, world-changing startup. We are always hiring on a rolling basis for excellent talent in any role. Please apply if you're an ambitious top performer in any field or discipline, engineering or not.
