Aggie Branczyk

Hi, I’m Aggie! I’m a Physicist in the Wild.

After my PhD, I spent 10 years in academia doing quantum research, then 4 years in quantum tech (things move ~2.5x faster in industry, so let’s call it even!). Now I’m building my own company.

What do you do if you love foundational research but you also like making things with immediate impact. You don’t want to stay in academia but you want the intellectual freedom it gives. You like the business world and “adding value” but you don’t want to have a boss.

You start your own company, of course! But you don’t make it a “start-up”, because you don’t want investors to answer to either. Instead, you start a lifestyle business, that gives you the flexibility to do the kind of work that you care about. Work that gives you energy, instead of draining it. Work that aligns with your passions and values.

That’s what I’m doing now. My company is called Aggie Branczyk Enterprises and it’s my platform for exploring various ventures—from reserach, to software, to quantum tech, to education—all aimed at finding the perfect intersection of what I care about and what pays the bills!
