Our Mission
To build AI systems that are safe, aligned, and beneficial. We believe the most important work in AI is ensuring AI remains safe as capabilities advance.
Founding Story
Astroware was born from a simple observation: as AI systems become more capable, the gap between their abilities and their safety guarantees grows wider.
Our founders came together from Oracle, Lloyds Banking Group, and the decentralized AI ecosystem — each having witnessed firsthand the challenges of deploying AI in high-stakes environments.
We set out to build what we couldn't find: production-ready guard models, rigorous evaluation frameworks, and security layers that actually work in the real world.
Today, Astroware is proud to serve enterprises, AI labs, and governments working on some of the most important AI safety challenges of our time.

Our Values
Safety First
We believe AI safety is not an afterthought — it's the foundation upon which all progress is built.
Rigorous Research
We publish peer-reviewed work and open-source our tools. Claims are backed by benchmarks and data.
Practical Impact
