Acme is a software company focused on making it easier for businesses to start, grow, and last.

We build programmable business tools, rethinking from first principles how money should move, to make it simpler, faster, and cheaper for any team anywhere to start and scale.

More than a million teams build on Acme, from solo founders to large companies, united by a practical focus on growth. Many of the most ambitious companies in the world use our tools as core infrastructure to grow faster, and they move large volumes through the platform every year.

While growth makes everyone better off, open markets also make room for more variety. When any business can reach a global customer base, the quality and range of products in the world goes up, and craft and creativity reach even the smallest niches.

Our own growth depends on the success of the businesses building with us. We therefore invest back into our tools at an unusual rate. We ship updates to our products every single day to deliver compounding gains to our customers, and we hold ourselves to a high bar for quality and speed. We maintain some of the most reliable APIs on the internet. We build entirely new pieces of business infrastructure to enable new ideas. And our work in risk and fraud tooling over many years keeps the internet economy safer and more open.

We believe that markets work best when they are part of open cultures. In addition to building tools for businesses, we also publish ideas that we think are good for economic and technological progress, and make unconventional bets that we think will have a long-term effect on growth. In the words of one economist, growth follows when people have the freedom to try, and we think that free exchange and free societies go hand in hand.
