AetherCore

At aedifion, we combine deep technical expertise with a passion for sustainability to transform how buildings operate. Our cloud-based platform leverages artificial intelligence and real-time data to optimize building operations, reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions by up to 40% without requiring expensive structural investments. spun out of RWTH Aachen University in 2017, we've grown from a research-driven startup to a team of nearly 100 professionals united by the mission to digitally decarbonize the built environment. Our culture thrives at the intersection of building technology, data science, and software engineering. We believe in creating solutions that deliver measurable environmental impact while providing tangible cost savings for property owners. From implementing IoT edge devices to deploying AI-driven predictive controls, our cross-functional teams work collaboratively to solve complex challenges in building automation. We value continuous learning, academic partnerships, and pragmatic problem-solving - qualities that enable us to deliver sophisticated yet practical solutions that make buildings smarter, more efficient, and environmentally responsible.

In 2021, founders David Goldschlag and Kevin Sapp recognized a critical gap in cybersecurity: while identity and access management (IAM) solutions for humans were mature, the rapidly growing world of non-human identities - AI agents, applications, services, and workloads - remained dangerously exposed. Having previously built and sold New Edge Labs to Netskope, they understood firsthand how traditional secrets management approaches were failing distributed systems and creating security vulnerabilities at scale. So they built Aembit - a Workload Identity and Access Management platform designed from the ground up for the autonomous era. By providing secretless access, real-time policy enforcement, and centralized control across any environment, Aembit enables organizations to secure how AI agents and workloads connect to enterprise systems. Today, the company is at the forefront of the emerging IAM for Agentic AI category, helping businesses accelerate their AI adoption without compromising security.

In 2016, AE Studio emerged from a simple but powerful insight: the world needed a different kind of technology partner - one that combined the rigor of academic research with the practical urgency of startup execution. Founded as a bootstrapped alternative to venture-funded models, AE began as Agency Enterprise with a mission to increase human agency through technology. The founders recognized that traditional agencies focused on billable hours rather than transformative outcomes, while research labs produced groundbreaking work that never reached real-world application. Today, AE Studio stands as a unique fusion of lab and studio. Their team of 150+ engineers, data scientists, designers, and PhD researchers tackles everything from enterprise AI implementations for Fortune 10 companies to cutting-edge brain-computer interface research. What makes AE extraordinary is their business model: profits from client work fund internal "skunkworks" projects and AI alignment research, creating a virtuous cycle where commercial success enables breakthrough innovation. They've built systems for airlines achieving $3M weekly revenue growth, developed stroke detection technology saving lives, and published pioneering research on AI consciousness and safety. All while remaining completely independent - no VC, no PE, no outside shareholders dictating their priorities. This freedom allows AE to take the long view, building technology that's genuinely good for users, good for business, and good for humanity's future.
