**What are we doing?**

We are a venture-backed startup built by ex-Googler data enthusiasts. Datamilk is an AI-first company that promotes the use of AI to fix the internet.

**How are we as a company different from others? Why is it worth going to us?**

Watch this Elon Musk video which summarizes our view of the problem we’re solving.

We shaped Google’s engineering management approaches to a remote working environment.

We believe that remote work is the future of software development. Why are we doing this? We're on a mission to make the internet a few percentage points better to use. We think AI is a new and untapped lever for this improvement.
