We're a bunch of nice nerds building something new and awesome

Abzu was born from the desire to challenge the fundamental assumptions of contemporary AI.

Our vision

If it’s AI, it’s Abzu.

Our mission

Build a machine where cognition arises through self-organization of millions of interactions.

Our values

We are curious and ambitious good humans. We enjoy sharing and the trust that transparency brings.

About Abzu

Founded in February 2018, Abzu is an applied research startup with offices in Copenhagen, Denmark and Barcelona, Spain.

Our name is derived from Ancient Sumerian, meaning “the source of the waters of wisdom.”

We are an international group of specialists with many years of experience in high-performance computing, computational neuroscience, bioinformatics, deep learning, mathematics, physics, and business.

Meet the Abzoids

Abzu is a teal organization, which means we practice self-management.

We don’t have any bosses. Abzoids determine their own salaries and schedules and make decisions about their work priorities.

This requires transparency and trust, which is an integral part of our technology and who we are.
