Why social impact?
We want to build trusted spaces for curiosity and civic collaboration in a complex information environment. Technology continues to evolve the ways in which we talk, gather, and build civic networks, creating both opportunities and complexities for our clients working to advance social missions in their communities. We’re a team of curious researchers, educators, and entrepreneurs who are strongly motivated by the work of addressing stubborn and complex social challenges.
We believe that mission-driven organizations should be empowered with cutting-edge tools to engage their constituents and realize their institutional needs. Mission-driven organizations should not have to accept surface-level solutions, vendor lock-in, privacy-invading products, or inflexible systems that fail to address the needs of local communities.
You know your community best. We build local-first approaches tailored to your constituents and backed by decades of technology expertise. Our work prioritizes community ownership and aims to reflect your community's unique needs, assets, and cultural contexts.
We believe in the profound impact of connected, engaged communities. We understand that building strong community engagement is essential for driving lasting change. While technology plays a significant role in modern social life, our primary focus is on empowering people to think, work, and talk in community.
