Grow Your Own Cloud began life as a research project developing alternative data futures, to envision a trajectory that deviates from the path of Data Warming.

Our work has always been grounded in an ethics and environment first approach to developing new technology. In our process, we ask should we? at the same time as we ask can we?

What would the world look like if all technology companies did the same?

GYOC has been presented at major international forums such as WEF Davos and World Climate Summit 2019.

Our founders have been covered by leading international media such as Netflix and RTL.

Our work is regularly showcased by events such as SXSW and VivaTech as well as artistic exhibitions at Bozar, Telefonica Foundation and ZKM. In 2020 we were residents at Ginkgo Bioworks.
