Portfolio

Nineteen companies in formation across five segments and two houses.¹ Each puts AI to work on something people need. Each answers to the same governance framework, and each runs on the Short Week rule: when AI saves time, the hours go back to the people who did the work.

What the companies would make

Concept interfaces for eleven of the companies, drawn to show what each product would do. None of them is live.
