About Abzu

Founded in January 2018, Abzu is a deep tech 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.

We are self-managing

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.
