Who We Are

[ 01 / 03 ]
Principle is built by OpenBabylon, a San Francisco-based AI research lab focused on making strategic foresight accessible to every organization — not just the Fortune 10.

We believe you don't need to predict the future. You need to model all potential outcomes and pick the winning strategy
