Why we are doing this
Audience is the new moat.
Ackroyd Lowrie are architects committed to building the cities of the future. Technology is going to radically change the way cities are built, and we want to back the tools that make the built environment better for the people who live in it.
Anyone can build software now. Audience and distribution are how you stand out. We believe connecting people, through content and in-person events, is the most effective way to get technology into the market. So we build the whole thing in public. On camera.
