About Adventium Labs

Founded in 2002 by Bonnie K. Holub and Brian A. Isle, Adventium Labs, is a research and development lab focusing on the development of advanced software applications for complex systems, with a particular emphasis on automated reasoning, security, and supporting architectures.

Adventium Labs is dedicated to performing and publishing scientific research and to the creation, maturation, and commercialization of intellectual property. We are incorporated as a non-profit organization to provide the freedom to work broadly with universities, technology partners and government entities. Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Adventium Labs brings together an experienced group of people with expertise in each of the three critical components for driving growth: research to feed innovation, translating innovation into commercial use, and building a business to capture value from the resulting offerings.
