In September 2008, the CG Cookie website (http://cgcookie.com) was launched. By 2010, Jonathan and Wes established the company behind it, naming the venture "CG Cookie, Inc."

Over the years since, the team at CG Cookie, Inc. expanded and spearheaded additional Blender ventures within our network, including The Blender Market and Orange Turbine.

Autotrophs are neat organisms that produce complex organic compounds using energy from simple substances. Producing their own food using light, water, and carbon dioxide, they’re self-sustainable and typically called producers. 

Being a bootstrapped company from the beginning, it feels like home adopting this as our identity. ❤️🦠

Our purpose is to foster and elevate creatives within the Blender community.

Our small but mighty team has come a long way since 2008, and we couldn't have done it without the support from you and the Blender community over the years. 

Introducing Autotroph, Inc not only gives us as a team a platform to share more about what we believe in, and are building together. It communicates a structure and purpose for the projects within it.
