Our vision

We envision a world where curiosity replaces fear when it comes to artificial intelligence. A world where people feel empowered to explore, understand, and harness the potential of AI on their own. Our mission is to spark the same enthusiasm for AI that fuels us every day — and to guide you toward discovering how accessible, exciting, and full of opportunity this technology truly is.

Our values

We believe that knowledge is the foundation of both success and fulfillment. We believe that learning has no limits — that anyone can learn anything. Leaning speed varies, but the ability to grow is universal. With the right support, tools, and mindset, we’re confident that every person can grow beyond what they ever imagined.

OKINAMI

NAME & LOGO

Why we are called Okinami - and what our logo means

Okinami is more than just a name. It is a symbol of what we want to achieve with our work: a powerful wave of innovation that captures companies, sweeps them along and leads them into a new era.

The term “Okinami” (沖波) comes from the Japanese and means “the great wave”. For us - Lisa and Sara - it was important to incorporate something personal. Our shared passion for the Japanese concept of “Ikigai” (Japanese for “meaning of life”) and the Japanese language inspired us to find a word that combines both our roots in Asia and our vision.

“Nami” means wave - a powerful, moving element. And we see artificial intelligence as exactly that: a wave that is fundamentally changing our society, our working world and our communication. The prefix “Oki” gives the whole concept size, depth - and a certain respect for what lies ahead.

Our logo tells this story:

A brain into which technical neurons and curved lines are inserted. It stands for human intelligence - but also for the symbiosis with artificial intelligence. If you look closely, you can see the large wave inside the brain - as a visual bridge between mind and technology, between man and machine.

The colors are also deliberately chosen:

The dark blue radiates seriousness, depth and technological expertise. It stands for trust, focus and clarity. The graduated shades of blue and green that complement the overall picture are reminiscent of the sea - dynamic, flowing, full of possibilities.
