INVEST

Investing in Talented Programmers

At Axle, our approach to investing is simple: we seek out talented programmers, team them up with product visionaries, and give them the support they need to build great companies from the ground up.

BUILD

Great Programmers Build Great Companies 

We focus on highly charged consumer internet sectors which we believe are rich in opportunity to innovate. Take a look at our current target sectors of the consumer internet space that we believe offer great opportunities for innovation: 

INNOVATE

We Catalyze Innovation

Music
Music

The Music industry has been disrupted by the internet, and as the disruption continues, Axle sees a unique opportunity to build innovative products that change the way music is discovered and purchased.

Mobile Advertising
Mobile Advertising

Mobile is growing faster than any other segment of information technology. And yet, advertising on mobile is such a fledling industry that we view it as ripe for innovation.

Decentralization
Decentralizing Web Publishing

Since it's inception, control over a website's content has been in the hands of the website publisher. The decentralization of this control provides a unique opportunity for innovation.

Data Markets
Data Markets

As the internet evolves, data is at the center of any successful venture. Data markets are still a shadowy and mysterious sector of e-commerce, and we see a unique opportunity to innovate how data markets are conducted.
