The people behind
OfficeBox AI

OfficeBox AI was founded by two people who believe businesses shouldn't have to choose between adopting AI and protecting their clients' data. We bring decades of experience across hardware innovation, strategic investment, and emerging technology.

Andrew Bellew (previously Andrew Laurus)

Co-Founder

Andrew brings over 35 years of marketing expertise and strategic foresight to OfficeBox AI. His career is defined by an ability to identify transformative technologies early and build businesses around them.

In 2013, Andrew co-founded Bitfury, providing early capital and strategic leadership to launch one of the world's first Bitcoin ASIC chips. Under his co-management, Bitfury grew from a $150,000 seed-stage venture to command over 30% of the global Bitcoin mining market — a business now valued at over $4 billion. He also pioneered the development of what is widely considered the first Litecoin ASIC miner.

After exiting Bitfury, Andrew founded Mercantile Services, a private investment organisation based in Zurich that has been identifying and backing breakthrough technology ventures since 2013. He reinvested in cutting-edge sectors including biotech, insuretech, large language models, and ethical artificial intelligence. His investment philosophy is rooted in decentralisation and open access — principles that mirror the original ethos of the crypto movement and now underpin OfficeBox AI's mission.

Andrew and Joshua are also co-founders of BuilderWatch, an insuretech startup building technology to disrupt the UK construction industry.
