Company Description
Five Apes is a stealth company founded on the premise that we’ll be able to change the world or at least how computers see and process the world. Five Apes has grown from a life long ambition of a technologist to solve complex problems with elegant orthogonal solutions. Williams Paquier spent 10+ years in academia working on the technology platform and is now ready to unleash its power on the world. In the summer of 2006, he came to the United States to attend an Apple Worldwide Developer Conference. Leveraging their common French background, he strikes up a conversation with Bertrand Serlet, who at the time was SVP of Software at Apple. Convinced in the potential of the technology, Bertrand becomes the first committed investor and advisor and Five Apes is born. Recently, this technologist was joined by one of the original executives at Aliph (makers of the Jawbone Bluetooth headset) who helped transform the Company from a DARPA funded R&D shop for military applications into the award winning consumer brand Jawbone. Together they have assembled a core technology team and are looking to grow the team to realize the potential of the technology.
We are well funded by the founders and executives (both current and former) of companies such as Alta Vista, Apple, Drugstore.com, eHow, Facebook, Good Technology, Google, LinkedIn, Palantir, Paypal and SuccessFactors. We have the resources to launch a number of ground-breaking applications in our product roadmap.
