OUR STORY

We are Christ-centric, people-obsessed, learning & data-driven, fully remote, and fully committed to transparency

A Christ-centric technology startup

We believe Christ is the source of all things and we put Him first. 

We are thankful that we were made in the image of our creator so that we, too, can create. We strive to use our gifts of creativity and innovation the best we can in a godly manner.

Every little thing we do and every single person we meet is an opportunity to bring glory to our Lord, Jesus Christ. We strive to do everything with care and to treat everyone with love and respect. This includes everyone we meet; be they a customer, supplier,  employee, investor, or passerby.

Pentecode is a for-profit technology startup. We are not a charity nor a church, and we are not affiliated with any charity or church. 

What AI? We crunch machine learning

We focus on machine learning and recommender for voice and audio

With doctorate researchers on board and a core project that depends on machine learning and recommender system for voice and audio analysis, we have this as our core discipline.

Celebrating new ways

And having fun while glorifying our Lord Jesus!

We celebrate innovation. We cheer when you do old things in a new way. And we reward people who dare to fail.

We build pentecode around transparency and seek to achieve a level of transparency that will set a new bar for others. Nearly everything we say, do, spend, and earn must be open to the public for scrutiny. 

Furthermore, we are driven by data, facts, and learning. Not by following gut and hunches or shooting from the hip.

In pentecode, we seek to learn so we can teach. We seek to earn so we can give. And we seek Christ so that we can share! 

We are having a smashing fun time learning, working, and glorifying God. And even when things don’t go our way, we will still rejoice and praise God, knowing that He is in control!

In addition to being fully fun, totally passionate, and a little crazy/weird, we are also a fully remote workforce with forcibly implemented flexible work hours!
