Projects

Exploring new opportunities

Since August 2026 · Accelerating science and AI safety

Looking at what to build next in accelerating science and AI safety, mostly in San Francisco. If you're building in that space, write me: thorge.lindner@gmail.com

Aurea

Since early 2022 · Co-initiated, now steward

A Berlin-based community of highly agentic builders and thinkers, growing together to positively impact humanity.

Equivariant Systems

May 2025 to August 2026 · Founding member of the technical staff

A multiphysics runtime for agents. I joined as a founding member of the technical staff and led Fermi, the company's first product: an agent that automates thermal simulation for hardware teams building drones, satellites, and AI data centers.

Trellis

2023 · Founding engineer

AI tutor and reading companion. Funded by Emergent Ventures and HF0.

The Dream Company

2020 to 2021 · Co-founder

With Leonard Huesgen and Max Trompetter I built World Within, a digital dream diary that teaches lucid dreaming. Wrote the Flutter app, raised €300k from German angel investors, led operations. We never reached scale, returned the money, and shut down operations. The app is still online and used by thousands of people every month.

CODE University

2018 to 2022 · Student, co-built CODE Entrepreneurship

Studied software engineering, product management, and design at Germany's most active startup university, where one in ten students goes on to found a company. From 2019 to 2021 I helped establish CODE Entrepreneurship: hosted 30+ startup events, ran three cohorts of our summer accelerator (1, 2), and helped secure more than €3m in government grants, roughly half of the university's funding at the time. CODE feels like a crossover of a Montessori school and Silicon Valley.

Teen projects

2008 to 2016

Hundreds of YouTube videos across five channels, Facebook meme pages, and a lot of competitive gaming (League, StarCraft II, CS:GO), which shaped me more than school did. In League I went from picking up the game to top 2000 EUW within a year.
