AI will transform the global economy over the next decade, but this will not happen uniformly. Emerging economies have unique problems, resources, and fundamentally different markets and institutions than developed nations.
Born and raised in one of these emerging economies, we realized that we must either harness AI to fast-track our development or be reduced to irrelevance. At Latent Space, our aim is to ensure the former.
We strongly believe that by making AI accessible and aligned with the developmental needs of these nations, we can accelerate growth and prosperity where it is most needed.
Our Products
Our Manifesto
Solve Problems Unique to Emerging Economies: We focus on developing AI applications that address the specific pain points and challenges faced by businesses, governments, and communities in emerging markets.
Leverage High Tech Adoption and Literacy: Emerging economies often have faster technology adoption rates and a rapidly growing tech-savvy population. We aim to capitalize on this by creating AI tools that are accessible, user-friendly, and can be quickly integrated into existing systems.
Align with Developmental Goals: We recognize that emerging economies require labor-intensive industries to drive growth and development. Our AI products are designed to augment and enhance these industries, not replace them, thereby creating new job opportunities and fast-tracking, not hindering, rapid economic development.
Our Values
Focus on What Matters: We are laser-focused on the highest-leverage opportunities that drive direct impact now. We ruthlessly prioritize and filter out noise to ensure our efforts are concentrated on what truly matters for the communities we serve.
Rapid Iteration: We believe in the power of a cracked team that builds and experiments relentlessly. We move fast, test our assumptions, and iterate quickly to develop solutions that work in the real world.
Embrace Messiness and Complexity: We understand that the realities on the ground in emerging economies are often messy and complex. Rather than waiting for perfect conditions, we build solutions that can seamlessly integrate with existing systems and navigate the challenges of these unique environments.
