A problem from the work
Tell us what gets in the way, who it affects, and what you’ve already tried. You don’t need a polished brief or a proposed solution.
FOR NONPROFITS
Your mission deserves more room to move
You know where the work gets stuck. Share the challenges that take time and resources away from the people and communities you serve. We’ll explore them with you, find needs shared across organizations, and consider the people, technology, and resources that could help.

Start with what
you know.
A practical perspective
Help founders, engineers, and partners understand your team’s constraints and what a useful solution would need to do.
A willingness to learn together
Where there’s a fit, explore a design partnership with founders and organizations facing similar needs. Scope and time commitments are discussed together.
WHAT WE CAN BUILD TOGETHER
Make it useful.
Make it shared.
Less duplicated effort
Find common ground with other nonprofits instead of starting every solution from scratch.
Solutions shaped by your experience
Help shape and test an existing product, work with embedded engineers, or explore a new solution. We help assemble the right capability for the problem and your team’s circumstances.
Learning that goes further
Help shape case studies and shared insights that other organizations can use. We ask before publishing your organization’s story.
WAYS WE HELP
The right support
for the problem
We help assemble the people, expertise, and resources a solution needs. The path depends on the problem, the evidence, and the organizations involved.
Existing solutions
Connect relevant startups and products with organizations that could benefit. Explore design partnerships, adaptations, and pilots to test their value in practice.
Embedded engineering
Help assemble engineers who work alongside teams to understand the workflow, build and integrate solutions, and test whether they improve the outcome.
Venture-building support
When a shared need could support a repeatable business, help assemble the expertise, design partners, and resources needed to develop it. Building a new venture is one possible path, chosen when the evidence warrants it.
THE FIRST STEP
Let’s see where
there’s common ground.
Start with a short application about your organization and the challenges you face. We’ll review it for shared needs and potential collaborations, then reach out where there’s a fit.
