Unknown computer company
Pursuing what software becomes next.
About Unknown
Unknown is an independent computer company that pursues what software becomes next. Its first work is Known, the information layer beneath the AI-native company. We believe every business should have a living understanding of itself: its customers, people, products, relationships, decisions, history, and current state. That understanding should belong to the company rather than being fragmented across the applications and models it happens to use.
Known is a continuously maintained company model that gives humans and agents shared context grounded in history, relationships, and provenance. It is for founders and teams building AI-native companies from day one, organizations that need durable institutional memory, and builders creating agentic software that must understand the business it serves.
Unknown was founded by Nikolai Onken and Brock Whitten. The company works from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Vancouver, Canada. Read the Unknown Thesis in Writing, explore the open work on GitHub, or contact us at hello@unknown.cc.
