- Majority — Not a multicultural agency. An agency for the culture. We are built upon a diversity-led talent model. Not just for a more equitable world, but because we know diversity is the ultimate competitive advantage for disruptive creativity that moves culture. And when you move culture, you move product. Not a company with a mission. A mission with acompany: To accelerate the normalization of diverse faces powering the best creative companies in the world. Because when it’s normalized, you can see it. And when you can see it, you can be it. That is a generational legacy that is bigger than advertising. Not another coastal agency. An Atlanta agency. We are founded in the ATL, where the minority is the majority. Where local culture profoundly influences global pop culture. Where the Hollywood of the South collides with the Silicon Valley of the South. Atlanta culture drives black culture, which drives pop culture, which is America’s greatest renewable resource and global export. Not mediums deciding the best ideas. Ideas deciding the best medium. We ignite diverse lived experiences into cultural disruption that can take many forms, including: advertising, strategic planning, digital, branded entertainment, design, product innovation, experiences, art and activism. Our only agenda is that the best idea wins. (Yea this is a lot of site copy, thanks for persevering.)
Helping people rise to their potential.

- OpenBCI — OpenBCI is a low-cost, programmable, open-source EEG platform that gives anybody with computer access to their brain waves. Their vision is to realize the potential of the open-source movement to accelerate innovation in brain science through collaborative hardware and software development. Behind the many lines of code and circuit diagrams,OpenBCI has a growing community of scientists, engineers, designers, makers, and a whole bunch of other people who are interested in furthering our understanding of the brain. We feel that the biggest challenges in understanding what makes us who we are cannot be solved by a company, an institution, or even an entire field of science. Rather, we believe these discoveries will be made through an open forum of shared knowledge and concerted effort by people from many different disciplines. Today, the leading brain-computer interface (BCI) companies distribute fixed devices with limited or closed access to the algorithms that translate raw EEG signals to meaningful data. These devices are powerful and effective for application development but not ideal for R&D requiring adjustable hardware setups and direct control over the signal processing techniques. OpenBCI is fully accessible and powered by an open-source community of hardware and software builders, making it easy for creators of any skill level and ideal for researchers who haven’t yet settled on the perfect system design. The OpenBCI platform is intended to serve as a malleable starting point in the rapidly growing field of brain-computer interfacing.

- Komunite — Komünite is Turkey's methodology-driven digital entrepreneurship platform, founded in 2021 to transform how independent creators and micro-entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses. Rather than relying on innate talent or chance, Komünite champions a systematic approach to venture building—what it calls "Metot Girişimcilik"(Methodical Entrepreneurship)—where learnable frameworks replace guesswork and data-driven iteration replaces intuition.The platform operates across three integrated verticals:• Komünite (Core Platform): An online community of digital entrepreneurs, content creators, designers, and freelancers supported by 36 specialized forum channels, structured mentorship programs, and regular events including Tool Night, AMA sessions, Speed Networking, and Founder's Talk. Members gain access to educational resources, collaborative project opportunities, and the Katma Değer Fonu—an in-house investment fund providing $2,000–$7,000 in seed capital to promising digital ventures in exchange for 30% equity stakes.• Komünite Space: A 160m² physical innovation hub located in Vadistanbul, Istanbul, featuring event capacity for 80 seated or 160 standing attendees, a professional video production studio, and flexible workspace configurations. The venue hosts workshops, corporate training programs, and sector-specific networking events that bridge online community engagement with real-world collaboration.• Lokomotif AI: The corporate training arm delivering generative AI programs to enterprises. Offerings include AI Leadership seminars for executives, AI Literacy workshops for teams, AI Strategy development programs, and monthly AI Trends briefings. Lokomotif AI also provides automation consulting and custom AI-powered digital product development services.Komünite addresses a structural gap in Turkey's entrepreneurship ecosystem: the isolation, resource scarcity, and methodological uncertainty that constrain independent digital creators. Through its rolling fund model, physical infrastructure, and enterprise training revenue streams, the platform has built a self-reinforcing ecosystem where corporate clients fund community growth, successful ventures generate reinvestable returns, and members progress from learners to mentors to founders.The platform's venture studio arm, Komünite Stüdyo, develops digital products for external clients while serving as a proving ground for member talent, matching projects with specialists from its internal database based on demonstrated competencies and track records.

Their vision is to realize the potential of the open-source movement to accelerate innovation in brain science through collaborative hardware and software development. Behind the many lines of code and circuit diagrams,OpenBCI has a growing community of scientists, engineers, designers, makers, and a whole bunch of other people who are interested in furthering our understanding of the brain. We feel that the biggest challenges in understanding what makes us who we are cannot be solved by a company, an institution, or even an entire field of science. Rather, we believe these discoveries will be made through an open forum of shared knowledge and concerted effort by people from many different disciplines. Today, the leading brain-computer interface (BCI) companies distribute fixed devices with limited or closed access to the algorithms that translate raw EEG signals to meaningful data. These devices are powerful and effective for application development but not ideal for R&D requiring adjustable hardware setups and direct control over the signal processing techniques. OpenBCI is fully accessible and powered by an open-source community of hardware and software builders, making it easy for creators of any skill level and ideal for researchers who haven’t yet settled on the perfect system design. The OpenBCI platform is intended to serve as a malleable starting point in the rapidly growing field of brain-computer interfacing.

- Komunite — Komünite is Turkey's methodology-driven digital entrepreneurship platform, founded in 2021 to transform how independent creators and micro-entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses. Rather than relying on innate talent or chance, Komünite champions a systematic approach to venture building—what it calls "Metot Girişimcilik"(Methodical Entrepreneurship)—where learnable frameworks replace guesswork and data-driven iteration replaces intuition.The platform operates across three integrated verticals:• Komünite (Core Platform): An online community of digital entrepreneurs, content creators, designers, and freelancers supported by 36 specialized forum channels, structured mentorship programs, and regular events including Tool Night, AMA sessions, Speed Networking, and Founder's Talk. Members gain access to educational resources, collaborative project opportunities, and the Katma Değer Fonu—an in-house investment fund providing $2,000–$7,000 in seed capital to promising digital ventures in exchange for 30% equity stakes.• Komünite Space: A 160m² physical innovation hub located in Vadistanbul, Istanbul, featuring event capacity for 80 seated or 160 standing attendees, a professional video production studio, and flexible workspace configurations. The venue hosts workshops, corporate training programs, and sector-specific networking events that bridge online community engagement with real-world collaboration.• Lokomotif AI: The corporate training arm delivering generative AI programs to enterprises. Offerings include AI Leadership seminars for executives, AI Literacy workshops for teams, AI Strategy development programs, and monthly AI Trends briefings. Lokomotif AI also provides automation consulting and custom AI-powered digital product development services.Komünite addresses a structural gap in Turkey's entrepreneurship ecosystem: the isolation, resource scarcity, and methodological uncertainty that constrain independent digital creators. Through its rolling fund model, physical infrastructure, and enterprise training revenue streams, the platform has built a self-reinforcing ecosystem where corporate clients fund community growth, successful ventures generate reinvestable returns, and members progress from learners to mentors to founders.The platform's venture studio arm, Komünite Stüdyo, develops digital products for external clients while serving as a proving ground for member talent, matching projects with specialists from its internal database based on demonstrated competencies and track records.
