Company Overview
Softmax is an AI alignment research company founded in March 2025 by tech veterans Emmett Shear (co-founder of Twitch), Adam Goldstein (co-founder of Hipmunk), and David Bloomin. The company, which operates as both a research lab and a commercial enterprise, is focused on developing a novel approach to AI safety called "organic alignment". This concept draws inspiration from nature, such as ant colonies and multicellular organisms, to enable AI systems to collaborate with humans through mutual interdependence rather than hierarchical control. Softmax aims to create a mathematical theory of organic alignment and apply it at scale, viewing it as a more stable and adaptive process for advanced AI. The company is backed by venture capital firms including Andreessen Horowitz, Juniper Ventures, Lionheart Ventures, Mythos Ventures, and Plural VC.
