Efficient Frontier Labs
Mini-Aussies
Led by two visionary Mini-Aussies who understand that true innovation happens at the intersection of naps and chaos. Where others see obstacles, they see squirrels. Where others see risk, they see treats.
The Visionaries Behind the Madness
Disco
Born in New Jersey and raised in the underground house scene of Bushwick, Brooklyn, Disco cut her teeth performing at legendary venues like House of Yes and Elsewhere. Her decade-plus of experience in reading the room and dropping beats at exactly the right moment translates seamlessly into corporate strategy. Now 11 years young, she brings that same Brooklyn energy to every boardroom, believing firmly that every pitch deck needs more cowbell and every quarterly review needs better bass. Her strategic howling sessions have been known to shift entire project timelines, and her uncanny ability to sense when someone's about to open a bag of treats from three rooms away makes her an invaluable asset in opportunity detection.
Baloo
A true California native and proud COVID dog, Baloo was born and raised in the Golden State where he developed an unwavering philosophy: a good meal always takes priority over new pack members. This steadfast commitment to culinary excellence over social niceties has shaped his entire approach to business. Now 5 years old, he oversees all nutritional operations and treat-based incentive programs with ruthless efficiency. His innovative approach to resource allocation—eating everything immediately—has revolutionized our operational efficiency. With a self-taught degree in Couch Napping and an MBA in Treat Negotiation, Baloo ensures no snack goes unaccounted for and no nap opportunity is missed. His motto: "Friends are temporary, dinner is forever."
Building at the Break (Usually Around 3 PM)
At Efficient Frontier Mini-Aussies, we believe the best ideas come from those willing to dig holes where others see only grass. We build at the break—that perfect moment where chaos becomes opportunity, where uncertainty drives creation, and where someone might drop food.
Our approach is simple: bark first, ask questions later. Move fast and break things (mostly the doorbell). And always, always trust your nose.
