How we work

Syn·trophy

In biology: organisms sharing resources instead of hoarding them, and thriving because of it. We build software, and run a company, the same way.

Where we work

Areas of engagement

  1. 01Digital commons and open public infrastructure

    Open, self-hostable tools. Plenum and Roots are ours.

  2. 02Climate action and adaptation

    Data and tooling for mitigation and adaptation work.

  3. 03Nature restoration and biodiversity

    Funding tied to verified impact: Planetary Protocol, in research.

  4. 04Humanitarian aid and crisis response

    CLEAR, the crisis early-warning platform we run for the Norwegian Refugee Council.

  5. 05Human rights and civil society

    Private, sovereign infrastructure for organisations under pressure.

  6. 06Education and knowledge commons

    Tools that keep knowledge open and shared.

  7. 07Distributive and regenerative economics

    Capz: income above a set threshold flows back to stakeholders.

What we hold to

Values

  1. 01Public goods by default

    What we build should outlast the contract and serve more than one client.

  2. 02Sovereignty

    Clients and the communities they serve keep control of their code, data and infrastructure.

  3. 03Regenerative economics

    Value is distributed, not concentrated.

  4. 04Systems thinking

    Every tool sits in a web of people, data, incentives and institutions.

  5. 05Senior and accountable

    Every team member is an experienced, hands-on builder.

Hover or tap a card

We're not ready to go down with late-stage capitalism.

We'd rather offer alternatives, one line of code at a time. We take no venture capital, we don't build to sell, and we work only with partners who operate within planetary boundaries.
