About Us: Code, Cosmos, and Legacy
At Thunderbolt 5, we believe that true power lies in the perfect convergence of forces. We are a software development company dedicated to building robust, high-performance solutions that—like a thunderbolt—strike with speed, precision, and impact.
But our name and our mark are more than just branding. They are a reflection of ancient history, cosmic power, and personal legacy.
The Myth: The Ancient Skies
Our identity is rooted in the "Polar Configuration"—the story of the ancient skies as described in Comparative Mythology and the Electric Universe.
- The Circle: In the Golden Age of mythology, the planet Saturn (Kronos) ruled the sky, appearing as a great, fixed sphere—the "Great Circle" that watched over the earth.
- The Thunderbolt: As the cosmos shifted, the Thunderbolt emerged as the "weapon of the gods," a cosmic electrical discharge that reshaped the worlds. It was the instrument of change and the ultimate symbol of energy.
- The Colors: We utilize Gold and Purple not only for their visual impact but for their symbolism. Purple is the ancient color of sovereignty and royalty—the robe of the King of the Gods (Zeus/Jupiter). Gold represents the "Golden Age" of Saturn, a time of perfection and abundance.
The Man: A Personal Connection
For our founder, the connection to this imagery is woven into his very name and life story.
"Au" is for Gold The founder’s last name is Augat. In the chemistry of the universe, Au is the elemental symbol for Gold. Just as gold represents the standard of value and the Golden Age of the past, it represents the standard of excellence we strive for in every line of code we write.
The Power of 5 The number 5 is not arbitrary; it is the heartbeat of this company.
- It represents the founder's five children, the central pillars of his life.
- It serves as a loving tribute to his firstborn son, who was born on January 5th (1993) and passed away on November 5th (2006).
The Mark
When you look at our logo, you see a golden thunderbolt striking through a deep purple circle. But look closer, and you will see the thunderbolt subtly forms the number 5.
It is a symbol of the Ancient Circle of Saturn, the power of the Electric Universe, and an enduring father's love—all cast in the gold of excellence.
Welcome to Thunderbolt 5. Building the future, honoring the past.
