Who we are
At Aequilibrium Inc. we bridge the gap between skeptical businesses and knowledgeable AR Creators with a platform that aggregates, shows, and facilitates the creation of AR projects. Our founders' abilities include design, engineering, and business all with previous startup experience and eagerness to take the platform to the next level. We're part of NVIDIA Inception and the Microsoft for Startups program; we were also accepted into an Incubator in Chicago ("The Gallery"), and have tremendous traction on both sides of the platform.
But we're not just revolutionizing the way Businesses will understand and order Augmented Reality (AR) Content in any industry, we're also thinking about what's next for us and the industry. Whether it'll be the integration of AR NFTs or just the development of an additional tool that can make the business flow impeccable we hope you'll join us in the amazing journey that awaits us.
Our mission: "To accelerate the creation and adoption of AR content"

You're a knowledgeable back-end developer that not only breathes and lives the AR world, Metaverse, Virtual Reality tech and NFTs but has shipped at least a couple of products in a web-based environment.

If you have worked in a tech startup (AR related or not) before or have full-stack experience, that's a plus.

Where you'll help us get
We are ramping up development on our end and have several tech partners on our list that will extend the capabilities of our platform, lead to a better experience for our customers while in turn raise our potential to be leaders in the ordering of AR content process. We don't just want businesses to order projects, we want them to be able to accept the technology in the first place and that means removing obstacles by designing the right tools. On the other hand, we don't want AR Creators to just take on works, we want them to be able to repurpose what they create and have additional revenue sources they can rely on. The right execution will help us move away from our competitors, Poplar.studio and Catch.AR while establishing Aequilibrium Inc. as the go-to platform in North America.
