About Us - How it all started

Making the state-of-the-art technology accessible to everyone - literally everyone.

Zonder was formed by a few close friends in the San Francisco Bay Area. We have done some frontier research work on topics like intelligent automation and diffusion models for machine learning in school labs, as well as some large-scale development work at big tech companies, both in software and hardware.

We have shipped some of the most exciting products in the past decade and started companies and communities of our own that have raised over $10M USD from top-tier VCs like Sequoia and Y Combinator. We came together because of our shared passion for engineering, tech, and AI.

We believe in this future. But, we don't like the current monopoly on who gets access to AI and who doesn't. Unlike most tech enterprises, we're not just serving the "people in tech", but also those who are underserved yet deserve to be served well.

Our Values - A-T-E ;)

  • Agility - Responsive Innovation.


    Both our team and our code are agile. Agility at our core means we embrace change and respond swiftly to evolving client needs and market dynamics. You systems are not only relevant today but are scalable for future challenges.

  • Transparency - Open by Default.


    We respect the "open-source" culture. Our communications are open, and our work is open. Transparency is foundational to how we operate. We maintain open lines and share our development processes in every step.

  • Empathy - We Understand.


    Empathy for both you and your customers. This deep understanding informs every solution we create, ensuring they are not only effective but truly aligned with your goals.
