Work

Western Symbolics is a venture studio designing AI-augmented products and launching companies that strengthen liberal democratic institutions.

As of 2025, our works address the loneliness epidemic, data privacy, economic transitions, housing affordability, and sustainable development. We collaborate with partners who share our secular humanist values to develop solutions for the challenges of our time.

Our portfolio companies form the financial engine for broader investments in housing, ecological conservation, and other systems that struggle under purely market-based logic.

Salooon is our brand and social club—a reflection of the lifestyle we believe in.

While Western Symbolics builds the tools, Salooon shows why we build them. It’s a place to gather, share what we’re working on, and live the values behind our work.
