We are in business to connect people
In this digital age, we are more connected than ever. At the same time, being able to make your voice heard or establishing a genuine human connection is becoming harder to accomplish. Both are necessary to tackle the challenges our society is facing now and in the future. There are three areas where we as an organization feel we can contribute to help people connect and be heard.
- Working together as equals
- Closing the digital divide
- Building tech that gives people an equal voice
Three pillars that help us strive for change
-
Working together as equals
No managers, no job descriptions
We want to work together as equals. Managers and job descriptions get in the way.
That’s why we ditched both and started building systems that facilitate working together as equals.
-
Closing the digital divide
Our 1% connectivity tax
Communication has to be accessible, reliable, and private. And yet, about 34% of the world population is not able to structurally use the great enabler of communication: the internet.
We donate our self imposed 1% connectivity tax to 48percent.org to help close the digital divide.
-
Building tech that gives people a voice
Open web, open code
We don’t work for shareholders or investors. We work for our clients.
This enables us to build technology which is open source and free to be used by others.
It also enables us to fight for equal & open access to the web, because we feel the web should be open and transparent.
Open and transparent
As a customer, you are a supporter of our work. That’s why we want to be transparent about our performance, our impact, and how we spend our time and money.
