HELPING BODIES LIVE BETTER, LONGER.
WE'RE A ROBOTICS COMPANY BUILDING INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY TO HELP PEOPLE FEEL GREAT.
CHANGING THE WORLD
ONE BODY
AT A TIME
aescape - pronounced "escape" and inspired by aesthetics and Aesculaepius, the Greek god of healing and spas, is a robotics company building intelligent, highly personalized wellness experiences designed to help people have better relationships with their bodies.
Founded by serial entrepreneurs and backed by a host of savvy investors, we live at the intersection of body science and computer science, and are hard at work creating the first generation of something we believe will meaningfully improve people's daily lives.
We'll share more when we're ready.
WORK WITH US
"We're a small, incredibly strong team of technologists and scientists with deep experience in robotics, computer vision, machine learning, body sciences, and building successful companies.
Join us for the opportunity to create something truly different that will challenge you every step of the way, and when completed, will help improve the lives of the people who experience it."
