Were building the worlds most automated AI lab. Our objective is to build systems that optimize and automate work, starting with research itself.
We dont think the next step change in AI will come from scaling the current recipe: larger models, more data, static deployment.
Were pursuing new learning algorithms that supersede large-scale pretraining and reinforcement learning, and architectures that scale better than transformers.
—
We think the next wave of frontier research will come from small teams with highly capable agents. Were building the lab around that bet from day one.
We start by automating our own work. That makes room for more ambitious and creative work, which reveals the next thing to automate. What we learn feeds back into the research.
—
If were right, small teams with powerful AI systems will take on work that once required entire organizations.
Much of the current conversation around AI assumes it will mostly help existing institutions operate more efficiently. Were excited by the larger shift: a world where far more people can pursue ambitious work without first building an organization or raising capital.
A corner store with the logistical capabilities of a multinational corporation. A small workshop with demand from around the world. A project that starts in a group chat and grows far beyond its origins.
Were building the research, systems, and operating model to make this possible for more people.
—
Our team brings together people who have helped build frontier models, state-of-the-art optimization methods, influential architectures, multimodal agents, and the low-level systems those advances depend on.
Were building a small lab with the range to rethink neural network architecture from scratch – the kind of bet that gets harder to make the more you have to scale – and the systems engineering depth to prove it out.

Well, this is awkward... you weren’t supposed to be here. But since you found us, we might as well let you in on a little secret.
We’re a group of humans (and maybe one robot 🤖) working on something that’ll make your jaw drop… unless you’re an AI, in which case you’ll just process this data very efficiently.
Curious to know more?
Let’s just say we’re about to make your 9-to-5 feel like a 10-to-lunch – making work smarter, faster, and a lot more fun. Imagine the best thing ever. But 10x better.
Follow us and be part of the future of work 🚀.
Want the full story? You’ve got three options:
1. work for us
2. become a pilot customer (➡️ register via wingmaite.com) or
3. invest in our pre-seed funding round 😏.

Dronamics is developing the world-leading cargo UAV "The Black Swan" - a fixed-wing, remotely-piloted aircraft that can transport up to 350 kg at a range of up to 2,500 km, cheaper than any aircraft in existence.
---
Imagine you invent a new type of cargo airplane – remotely-piloted, efficient and cheaper to produce and operate than any aircraft in existence. Imagine it can fit as much cargo as a mini van and you can build it in a microfactory wherever its market is.
Imagine you can singlehandedly halve the prices of air cargo anywhere in the world and still be profitable. Imagine you can open new trade routes, which previously were thought of as unviable, and accelerate consumption and growth in communities worldwide, especially remote and underserved ones.
Imagine you’re at the forefront of a multi-billion-dollar emerging industry that will redefine how the world moves goods in the 21st century. Imagine yours is the only company in the world that can make same-day international delivery possible.
At Dronamics, we don’t need to imagine it. We live it. We breathe it. And together with some of the best aerospace engineering and logistics experts in the world, we create it.

Our technology is based on a mathematical breakthrough which allows us to control the grid risk in real-time. We connect to the grids Scada system or a digital twin of the grid and take into account all production/consumption changes, statistical failure rates of the grid components and apply this to a model of the power system. We also look at weather data, lightning data, wildfires, animal migration data and integrate it with other data sources such as DLR. Its an exact method and we retain all information.
The impact is that we are able to, with high accuracy, control the grids system risk. This allows us to coordinated security assessment and risk management including grid failures up to 48 hours in advance. We present a list contingecy list and help grid operators run scenarios to find the optimal solution. This is only possible if you are able to calculate the effect of all these scenarios on the fly with a high accuracy real-time solution like ours.
Controlling the system risk of the grid in real-time also allows for grid operators to use available excess capacity (n-1) by quantifying the risk on system level. Higher risk taking would typically lead to excess usage of the components. We help prevent this by keeping usage of grid components within physical operational limits as designed by the manufacturers.
The software uses these historical events to get better and better predictions as time elapse. Furthermore our technology combines these probabilistic (not deterministic) risk estimates with the cost of running the grid. This allows the solution to be used as a "planning tool" to for planned grid upgrades, while minimizing the risk in grid developments while maintaining a maximum economical profit.
The solution is 100% software based and theres no hardware involved.

At Conny we are building a universal Justice-as-a-Service (JAAS) legal tech platform to enforce consumer rights across Europe – especially when going to a lawyer is not worth the hassle. With our first brand, wenigermiete.de, we are disrupting the way tenants enforce their rights against landlords: it’s convenient, risk-free and affordable! Currently, we are gaining a lot of traction with our flagship product rent control (Mietpreisbremse) where we already helped thousands of tenants in Germany to significantly reduce their monthly rent.

lingoking was founded in 2010 in Munich and is the first universal platform for language services. lingoking connects clients with a professional translator or interpreter in a matter of minutes – anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day.
When this new company arrived on the market, it hit the ground running. Each year lingoking translates more than 9 million words, interprets more than 6,000 hours on-site and more than 9,500 minutes on the telephone for more than 4,400 clients from around the globe. To achieve this, it relies on more than 5,100 registered translators and interpreters in more than 840 towns and cities worldwide.
lingoking offers a broad range of language services, both to business customers and private individuals alike: from the translation of birth certificates, apps, websites, contracts and novels, to spontaneous interpreting on phone calls, sworn interpreting in court, or interpreting at training courses, trade fairs and corporate events.
