About TechlessAt Techless, we are on a mission to destroy digital addiction, restore relationships, prevent pornography, and live life fully. If you can align with this, keep reading! Most people optimize around tools–you redesign how the entire system works. You’ve built real, enduring systems from the ground up that didn’t just ship, but changed how teams operate and produce. You use AI as a force multiplier, creating agentic workflows that eliminate manual work, increase output, and make everyone around you faster. Within 90 days, the way we build products is fundamentally different—clearer, faster, and 3–5x more effective. We lead people to live fully with healthy technology. Techless is a venture company at Praxis, has participated in Y Combinator and has been featured on several prominent podcasts. This is only the beginning. Come join us on this exciting journey!
