Accelerating embodied AGI.
The next ten years of AI will not be won in software. They will be won in the physical world: in factories, hospitals, kitchens, fields, and homes. The companies that own that data will own the century.
microagi is building it. We are a data research and deployment lab. Atlas captures the manual work inside Europe’s industrial champions, trains foundation models on it, and deploys the right robot onto the floor, with no teleoperation and no interruption to the line. Shift records how physical work actually happens and turns it into training-ready data.
We were founded by former Formula 1 engineers from Red Bull Racing and Mercedes, together with a researcher from the Alan Turing Institute. Our $55M seed round, the largest in German history, was led by Hummingbird with Northzone, LocalGlobe, Village Global, and redalpine. We are based in Munich, with our research centre in Zürich and teams in London, New York, and Istanbul. We are now building the engineering and research teams that will take Atlas into new industries.

Who Will Thrive at microagi
Everyone we hire is assessed on the same four traits:
Mission and vision: you care about what we are building and why it matters, and your past choices show it.
Intensity: you work at a pace that matches the size of the opportunity, and you sustain it.
Entrepreneurial: you start things nobody asked for, and you finish them.
Raw IQ: you learn fast, reason from first principles, and get sharper when the problem changes.
This is for you if:
You would rather own a problem end to end than wait for a spec.
You use AI every day, and you can tell a correct answer from a plausible one.
You want to work in person, in the office, with people who are very good at what they do.
This is not for you if:
You are looking for a predictable 9-to-5.
You would forward output you cannot explain.
"That’s not my job" feels like a reasonable answer.
