Hours clocked-in on impactful projects
57%
We consider a project to be impactful when it helps solve one of the more pressing issues our society currently faces. Environmental issues, democracy crisis, critical thinking, human rights, animal rights, you get the gist.
Our other projects are useful tools, apps, or solutions. They make people's lives easier, but do not directly address global issues. No harmful projects ever come into question.

Our values
These have been with us from the start.
Courage
We explore avenues yet to be conquered. If the most fringe of technology is the only way, we dive neck-deep before others manage to take off their shoes.
Resilience
Tough problems make our hearts beat. We indulge in challenges beyond our comfort zone with a smiling face. We endure until the end.
Integrity
We go above and beyond to be the best versions of ourselves. Our intentions are always transparent and generate mutual benefits. If we can’t win, we let others win.
