We are a Barcelona based startup building data products and digital tools for a global audience of non-profits, businesses, startups, and multilateral organisations
Our Mission
We support open ecosystems that:
Build economic opportunities
Solve complex problems
Enable everyone to participate
and co-create their own value
Current and previous clients
We work with ALIAS.dev on resources that encourage the growth of a data privacy and protection workforce and tech ecosystem
We worked with apidays Global to enhance a dataset and create an interactive tool that documents the landscape of API tools providers enabling ecosystem development
We worked with Axway API management provider on a range of data reports and content products
We work with National Black Leadership Commission on Health (Black Health) to support their platform-approach by supporting data governance projects, data stewardship training, learning management systems, and integrated websites
We work with the World Bank’s Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP) to demonstrate the value of open APIs for financial inclusion
Our commitment...
...To open source
and open ecosystems
We donate/volunteer a percentage of our work projects to open source projects and we select open source technologies where we can.
We allocate internal team time on building content and products that can be shared in the open.
We offer a 10% discount on our project pricing to open source community organisations and non-profits.
We are building partnerships with organisations that work on reducing health inequalities and we look for opportunities to extend our industry knowledge in support of vanguards working in this area.
...To diversisty
and equity
We are an LGBT-owned startup committed to hiring a diverse workforce that represents all of us who are not traditionally prioritised when building communities, products or services.
We collect data on the participation and work of businesses that are women-led and have diverse management and we ensure that when we discuss the role of open ecosystems we give representation to these businesses. We ensure that when we discuss open ecosystems we reflect on whether they are supporting the needs of all market segments and use case needs.
We collect metrics that measure the capacity for open ecosystems to ensure participation from under-represented populations and whether the value of open ecosystem models is distributed to all stakeholder groups equitably.
