Axiom Zen is an award-winning venture studio founded in December 2012 in Vancouver, British Columbia. The organization describes itself as combining the best parts of a startup, a venture capital firm, and an incubator, with the conviction to move fast and the foundation to think long term. Axiom Zen specializes in testing the potential of emerging technology to build high-growth businesses, working at the intersection of emerging technology and human culture, bridging the realities of today to the possibilities unlocked by new technologies like machine learning, augmented and virtual reality, and blockchain. The studio has shipped dozens of products and built five independent businesses that positively impact the lives of hundreds of millions of consumers. Named first among Canada's Most Innovative Companies by Canadian Business, Axiom Zen's work has been featured in TIME Magazine, The New York Times, Fast Company, and Wired.
