Contxt was founded in 2026 by Lukas Amacher and David Simon on the premise that intelligent software fundamentally changes the way archives are built, maintained and interacted with. We build tools that let museums and archives of any size turn decades of scattered records into a connected, living resource that can execute workflows, answer questions and propose solutions to everyday issues museum operators face. Contxt’s core values are transparency, openness and consistency.
