Great captains like the Bellman knew:
every great venture begins on a blank map.

In Lewis Carroll’s whimsical poem below, the Bellman leads his crew with nothing but a blank map. At Aicor, we embrace that same spirit — charting ventures in unmarked waters and sketching new paths where others see none.

The Bellman had bought a large map representing the sea,
Without the least vestige of land:
And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
A map they could all understand.
"What's the good of Mercator's North Poles and Equators,
Tropics, Zones, and Meridian Lines?"
So the Bellman would cry: and the crew would reply
"They are merely conventional signs!"
"Other maps are such shapes, with their islands and capes!
But we've got our brave Captain to thank:"
(So the crew would protest) "that he's bought us the best—
A perfect and absolute blank!"
