Values
Our Origin and Purpose
Our company was founded on the simple idea that electricity should be as smart as the technology it powers. Marco Pretorius, our Founder, had an "aha" moment in medical school that led to the realization that talented people and promising projects were being limited by inflexible power systems. Our breakthrough, the Adaptive Current Modulation (ACM) technology, was the result of asking: "What if energy stopped being the constraint?". Our Mission is to eliminate energy as a primary constraint on human progress.
Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP)
We are pursuing verified abundance by accelerating civilizational advancement toward Kardashev Type I status by 2050. This means establishing a planetary-scale system that can harness and manage all the energy available on Earth. Humanity currently sits around Type 0.7 today, and ATHLAZ exists to close that gap through revolutionary energy optimization. We operate on core values that include prioritizing Trust with investors and taking Responsibility for the planet.
