About VanFossen Holdings

Building focused technology companies for the long term.

VanFossen Holdings, LLC is a Topeka-based asset and software management company that develops, owns, and supports a focused portfolio of digital products.

Our purpose

Ambition with a practical center.

Our mission is to create and grow ambitious technology companies that solve real problems, entertain audiences, and push digital innovation forward.

That mission is expressed through three distinct properties: Ayer, an advertising workspace; A16, an AI-focused programming language and runtime; and Cookies, a privacy-first intelligence search application.

VanFossen Holdings provides the shared foundation behind those products—including product direction, software stewardship, brand development, and long-term asset management.

Operating model

One company. Three focused disciplines.

01

Build

Develop useful products around clear customer problems rather than technology for its own sake.

02

Steward

Maintain software, brands, domains, documentation, and intellectual property as durable business assets.

03

Grow

Improve products through disciplined iteration, clear positioning, partnerships, and responsible commercialization.
