Through ethical governance, collaboration, and cutting-edge innovation, we are setting a new standard for responsible AI—one that prioritizes both technological advancement and human flourishing. Our approach is built on three core pillars: agency, meaning and belonging.

Having recently moved to the United States from Australia, Aethos (Cambridge) has come to be my 'home away from home'. It has been a true pleasure to share the company building journey with other thoughtful entrepreneurs (now close friends) operating across a diverse range of sectors. I would strongly recommend any artificial intelligence-focused entrepreneur to explore membership.
