Mission
Elchemy is dedicated to enabling chemistry between technology and humans by addressing the gap between tech-driven capabilities and law-informed expectations. This gap is the source of risk facing organizations, governments, and individuals. Elchemy manages this sociotechnical gap via data-informed innovation strategy, thought leadership, and R&D that is steeped in cross-disciplinary synthesis of issues and solutions at the seams of technology, law, ethics, and policy.
Simply put: Elchemy thrives where non-commodity solutions are needed.
