A New Pathway for Applied Innovation
At TWN, we believe the future belongs to organizations that can bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and practical implementation. We exist at this intersection—not as a traditional consultancy, not as an academic institution, but as something entirely new.
Purpose
TWN was created for curious minds seeking broader exploration beyond traditional institutional constraints. We're building what we call "augmented decision systems"—tools and approaches that think with us, not for us. Our work supports human intelligence in complex environments rather than replacing it.
The Polymath-Human Collider Approach
We've designed an organizational structure we call the "Polymath-Human Collider"—a deliberate integration of researchers, engineers, designers, and domain experts into collaborative teams where traditional departmental boundaries dissolve.
What This Means
- High Agency: You own your research direction and implementation approach
- Cross-Pollination: Ideas flow freely between technical and domain expertise
- Practical Impact: Every exploration has a path to real-world application
- Intellectual Freedom: No rigid hierarchies constraining your thinking
Ideal Team Members
We're looking for multidisciplinary professionals who:
- See what others miss: You spot patterns and connections across domains
- Thrive in ambiguity: Undefined problems energize rather than paralyze you
- Build while thinking: You learn by creating, not just analyzing
- Question assumptions: Especially your own
- Communicate across contexts: You can translate between technical and human languages
Beyond Traditional Career Paths
We're not interested in people following predictable trajectories. We want individuals motivated by exploration and invention—those who would rather discover something unprecedented than optimize something existing.
Our Unique Position
TWN occupies a space that doesn't traditionally exist:
- Not a traditional startup: We're not optimizing for rapid scaling or exit events
- Not an academic lab: We build products, not just papers
- Not a consultancy: We don't implement other people's ideas—we develop our own
- Not a big tech division: We prioritize depth of insight over breadth of application
We focus on research that produces practical tools, emphasizing quality of insight over quantity of output.
Recruitment Philosophy
We're seeking the first 30 members as "founders of a new field." This isn't hyperbole—we genuinely believe we're establishing approaches to human-AI collaboration that don't yet exist in traditional forms.
What We Offer
- Autonomy: You'll have ownership over groundbreaking work
- Impact: Your contributions will shape how humans and AI systems collaborate
- Growth: You'll develop capabilities that don't fit traditional job descriptions
- Community: You'll work alongside exceptional minds across multiple disciplines
What We're Not
- A place to execute someone else's vision
- An environment optimized for traditional metrics
- A stepping stone to conventional career advancement
- A safe harbor for risk-averse thinking
The Opportunity
We're inviting individuals passionate about pushing the frontiers of human-AI collaboration to help us discover technological capabilities that don't yet exist. If you're energized by undefined problems and motivated by the possibility of creating entirely new approaches to intelligence augmentation, we'd like to meet you.
The work we're doing today will define how humans and artificial systems collaborate for decades to come. We're not just building products—we're establishing the foundations of a new field.
