Technology for Mission-Driven Organizations
Built by a cooperative, for cooperatives. We understand governance, impact measurement, and building technology that serves communities - not shareholders.
The Non-Profit Technology Gap
Non-profits and social enterprises are expected to operate with the same efficiency as for-profit companies, but without the budget. Off-the-shelf software does not fit cooperative governance models. SaaS subscriptions eat into mission budgets.
We are a solidarity cooperative ourselves. We know what it is like to balance democratic decision-making with operational efficiency. We understand that your technology needs to serve your mission - not create new administrative burdens.
We build tools that amplify your impact - not just software that checks a box. And we do it at rates that make sense for social sector budgets.
