Humanity doing what it does best: Innovation
Olduvai Labs is a technology company founded on the ethos of incremental human technological achievements. We take our name from Olduvai Gorge, an anthropological site in Northern Tanzania that is attributed to the earliest human activity on the planet. It was there that the first stone tools were forged; and incrementally from that point approximately 1.5 million years ago in East Africa, technology spread across the planet. Consequently we now find ourselves in the 21st century, where science and technology have made it possible to tackle many global challenges and to improve the human condition. Taking this very spirit of curiosity and applied technological solutions to some of our most daunting and wide-felt challenges, Olduvai Labs is humanity doing what it does best: innovation.
