The founders
Built by two very different minds.
Ollie and Annette met while travelling six years ago. Today they run Lithi and the network behind Compute and Connect together.
Ambitious technology, clear limits and human decisions.
Where it began
It started with a battery business.
We began with power-tool batteries and built a support assistant while exploring a smarter, theft-resistant design. That experiment led us to the bigger question: how can useful work stay close to the people and Macs that make it possible?
The people
The balance behind Lithi.
Their partnership keeps the work both imaginative and grounded.
Annette · The voice of reason
Annette brings judgement, clarity and discipline. She asks the questions that keep an ambitious idea grounded in what people actually need.
Ollie · The mad scientist
Ollie explores what might be possible, builds the unusual first version and keeps pushing until the system works.
That balance shapes Lithi: ambitious technology, clear limits and human decisions.
Compute + Connect
Two products, one shared direction.
Lithi Compute helps customers find, price and review suitable bounded work. Lithi Connect helps people contribute approved Mac capacity. The network is shared infrastructure: clear rules connect the right work with the right machine.
01
Find and review suitable work.
02
Contribute approved Mac capacity.
