AI & Software for Growing Businesses
We exist to make transformative technology accessible to every business, regardless of size or budget.
Our Mission
We build high-quality software and AI solutions for small and medium enterprises who deserve the same technology as large corporations - at prices they can afford.
By operating as a solidarity cooperative rather than a traditional for-profit agency, we can reinvest in our mission instead of maximizing shareholder returns. This allows us to offer enterprise-quality development at 50-70% below market rates while maintaining fair wages and high standards.
Our Vision
A future where every business, regardless of size, has access to transformative technology.
We envision a world where cost is no longer a barrier to digital transformation. Where a community health clinic can have the same quality patient portal as a hospital network. Where a family farm can compete with agribusiness through technology. Where social enterprises have the tools to maximize their impact.
Why We Exist
The Problem We Saw
Traditional software agencies charge $150-300 per hour. A basic custom application costs $50,000-150,000. For most growing businesses, transformative technology has been completely out of reach. This creates a two-tier economy where large corporations get efficiency and innovation, while SMEs are stuck with inadequate off-the-shelf solutions or manual processes.
The Gap in the Market
We noticed that mission-driven organizations - healthcare clinics, sustainable food producers, environmental groups, social enterprises - needed custom technology the most but could afford it the least. Meanwhile, skilled developers wanted to work on meaningful projects but were stuck building vanity apps for startups or optimizing ad revenue for tech giants.
Our Solution
By structuring as a solidarity cooperative, we eliminate the pressure to maximize profits for external investors. We can charge what is fair rather than what the market will bear. We can work with clients who are mission-aligned rather than chasing the highest bidder. And we can build technology that genuinely solves problems rather than just checking feature boxes.
Our Core Values
Accessibility First
Technology should be accessible to everyone, not just those with Fortune 500 budgets. We price our services to be within reach of SMEs, non-profits, and social enterprises while maintaining quality and fair wages.
Radical Transparency
No hidden fees, no scope creep surprises, no vendor lock-in tactics. We publish our rates openly, explain our decisions clearly, and ensure you own everything we build. You deserve to know exactly what you are paying for.
True Partnership
We are not a vendor extracting maximum value - we are partners invested in your success. We provide honest advice even when it costs us revenue. We say no to projects that are not a good fit. We build relationships, not just software.
Continuous Improvement
Technology evolves rapidly and so do we. We invest in learning, adopt best practices, and constantly refine our processes. We bring the latest tools and techniques to every project without the consultant markup.
Impact Over Revenue
We measure success by the impact our technology creates - time saved, costs reduced, communities served - not just revenue generated. If a project does not create real value for you, we will tell you.
Social Economy Commitment
As a solidarity cooperative, we are committed to the social economy ecosystem. We prioritize working with mission-driven organizations, offer discounted rates for non-profits and co-ops, and contribute to building a more equitable economy.

- ✓Cost Savings: Total amount clients save vs traditional agency pricing while getting the same quality
