Theory Studios is a virtual entertainment company primarily based in the United States, but with artists located worldwide, including Australia, Europe, and South America. Founded in 2008 as Animation Maui, the company was the brainchild of Juerg Grieder, Mark Olson, and David Andrade. The three met through an online animation school, and after experiencing the (then) dismal state of the animation industry, decided to create their own virtual animation company. This would allow them to coalesce artists and industry vets throughout the world into one location, and pioneer cloud-based animation production using Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services. On April 1st, 2013, Animation Maui officially changed its name to Theory Studios.

Theory Studios is the parent company of two primary divisions: Theory Animation, the production company and studio behind the popular web series Ray & Clovis, and makeTheory, which creates customized digital animation toolsets.
