### High slope in the most profitable industry in the world

90% of global transactions touch SAP. Every Fortune 500 supply chain, pharmacy refill, Airbus plane built, and paycheck issued at a Global 2000 company flows through SAP software. It is the operating system of the physical economy, and it runs a $100B+/year industry that most of Silicon Valley has never heard of. We are backed by Accel, Chemistry, and SAPio.

### Build alongside experts, researchers, and top talent

Our founding team spans Silicon Valley and SAP's heartland in Germany. From the co-inventor of SAP HANA, Google DeepMind researchers, and ex-founders who scaled to millions before turning 22, you will work with the people who built the category you are disrupting.

### Competitive comp, designed for growth

We pay competitively across cash, equity, and quarterly performance bonuses. Compensation is structured so outsized contributions lead to outsized rewards. Early employees get meaningful equity in a category-defining company, and comp scales aggressively as you grow with us.
