Overview
Bratte is a studio that builds AI-powered consumer apps with a positive social impact by creating a portfolio of companies across different segments of the AI consumer market. A team of entrepreneurs, designers, and engineers uses its resources and expertise to take ideas from concept to scale, focusing on mobile apps designed for broad, viral adoption and meaningful social outcomes. The studio provides product design, engineering, growth support, and venture-building resources, including mentorship and potential angel investment, to help each company grow. What sets Bratte apart is its portfolio approach combined with hands-on execution: it leverages a proven team and infrastructure to launch multiple AI consumer apps aimed at social good, rather than pursuing a single product. The overarching goal is to build a scalable collection of AI-powered consumer products that reach millions of users and generate positive social impact.
