Investors
We are not asking investors to finance one binary AGI bet: we are building progressively more general, traceable and monetisable intelligence on the same architectural principles. — Mario Garcés, CEO
01Positioning
A neuroscience-grounded architecture, not transformer scaling, monetised as a sequence of complementary capability levels. The upside is capability-gated, not a binary bet.
Current LLM and generative approaches are reaching the limits of scale and of the transformer architecture. The next step requires new cognitive architectures, and only a handful of teams hold the scientific knowledge to pursue one.

03Capability-gated roadmap
Evolution-inspired, not biologically simulated: each level is a measurable capability, a benchmark and a commercial use case. The upside is capability-gated, not a binary bet.
Productised · ETR 0.5
Reactive regulation
Maintain critical variables and prioritise responses under changing inputs.

Abstraction
Transfer useful structure across tasks; cooperate and coordinate across CELL groups.
AGI target · gated, not dated
General cognition
Open-ended generalisation, language, metacognition and cross-domain reasoning.
Current platform: ETR 0.5 covers WORM and FLY in productised form, with native traceability across both. Next gate: BEE, operational causality (ETR 0.6, 2027). AGI remains the destination; each gate is the investable milestone.
As a transversal technology, ETR has applications across a wide set of industries and sectors:
Emerging from a project with a distinct humanistic approach, the well-being of individuals and societies is at the core of our focus:
