▲==History & Culture==
▲Bran Ferren and Danny Hillis worked together at Walt Disney Imagineering, where Ferren was president of research & development and creative technology and Hillis his vice president,<ref name=":2" /> when they decided to start a new venture that would serve wider industries beyond entertainment.<ref name=":2" /> When the pair left to start Applied Minds in 2000, they rented the new company's first warehouse space from Disney.<ref name=":0" />

▲Applied Minds “quickly acquired a reputation as a sort of [[Arms industry|military-industrial]] toy shop.”<ref name=":0" /> The culture at the company has been described as “laid back, more [[Startup company|startup]] than military, with employees in casual clothes and readily available snacks.”<ref name=":1" /> According to Applied Minds co-founder and chief creative officer Ferren, potential projects are evaluated on the basis of three criteria: “design and technical excellence, making the world a better place, and making more money than [the company] spends.”<ref name=":1" /> Ferren “takes a unique approach to building his team” by likening the process to casting roles for “engineers, designers, military strategists, and rocket scientists.”<ref name=":1" />
