These are the systems that run COBOL from the 1960s that still quietly power banking, insurance, airlines, and governments today.
70% of the Fortune 500 still run on mainframes, but the engineers who built and maintained them are retiring.
Today, the average age of a mainframe engineer is 55+, and there are fewer than 100,000 left worldwide.
We're building Hypercubic to help companies preserve their institutional knowledge and modernize these systems safely.
