AE stands for
Applied Engineering
Honestly, it never stood for anything. We're a venture studio: we build our own software, acquire small software businesses, and back founders starting new ones.
What we do
Build it, buy it, or back it.
01 — BUILD
Our own products
Software we design, engineer and run ourselves.
02 — ACQUIRE
Small software businesses
We buy profitable products and operate them long term.
03 — BACK
Founders, early
As a venture studio, we co-found and support new companies.
