Friends first. Builders ever since.

ApplauseLab started with a group of techies who enjoyed solving hard problems and liked working together even more.

Side projects became ApplauseLab.

We were friends long before ApplauseLab. We had our own jobs, ventures, and areas of expertise, but we kept choosing to spend our spare time building side projects together.

We wanted to understand what new AI systems could really do, so we learned by shipping. One project led to another. That way of working became the model for ApplauseLab: bring the right people together, solve a real problem, and stay responsible for the result.

For the past three years, we have kept working that way. We build products, test new AI systems on real work, and turn what proves useful into dependable workflows for our own ventures and our clients.

The team behind ApplauseLab.
