Why “Portia”

Portia is our favourite protagonist from Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Children of Time," which is also one of our mutual top 3 sci-fi novels! Part of a rapidly evolving spider species “Portia Labiata” seeded by humans on a terraformed alien world, Portia drives her civilisation forward through social and technological leaps with incredible resilience, and builds bridges with other species including humans to forge a shared and harmonious future together.

We want Portia to be exactly this: resilient in the face of a rapidly shifting AI landscape and a connector between the different players in the space.
