about us

we dont just have 'talent'

HOSTING former leadership of abb, quantco AND META software engineers, autonomous driving leads of audi, meta AND HARVARD PAULSON LAB researchers t0 imo award winning MATHEMATICIANs.

Built by world-class engineers, researchers, and operators who’ve spent decades inside the world’s most complex industries. From manufacturing floors to refineries, supply chains to grids — we know the problems because we’ve lived them.

oUR MISSION

Rebuild the industrial base by bringing together the world’s top talent and technologies to solve problems that keep the world running.

oUR VISION

A world where the industries that power and protect society are connected, intelligent, and resilient.

THE SMARTEST MINDS TURNED AWAY FROM THE INDUSTRIES THAT POWER THE WORLD — AND IT’S HOLDING US BACK.

That’s why we built SERIOUS AI: to put top talent back on the frontlines of industry and defense. Serious industries demand serious technology and serious teams. We focus on the problems others left behind — keeping factories running, supply chains connected, grids stable, energy systems resilient, and defense capabilities strong through AI and automation.
