About Autonomous

From a small apartment in NYC to 10 locations around the world

Rewind to 2014: A small group of tinkerers in a tiny apartment in Hell’s Kitchen, New York shipped the first SmartDesk to their first Kickstarter backer.

2018: we power 110,000+ companies in over 60+ countries, the SmartDesk is AI, and we are reimagining not just workspaces, but workplaces. What happens when you reach across the world and create a borderless, decentralized, autonomous organization? What does it an idea built on the blockchain look like?

Our global offices - California, Saigon, Shenzhen, Amsterdam, New York - share the same DNA. Autonomous belongs to dreamers, risk-takers, engineers, and artists dedicated to breaking down ideas and building them up again - bolder and better.
