For NGOs, charities and movementsNot you?

Turn a cause into something people can see themselves join.

Web app, mobile app and interactive platform studio: web apps, iOS and Android apps, interactive maps, and community platforms with courses, memberships and events.

Digital Mycelium. Interactive maps, pledges and supporter platforms that make a movement visible. When people can see everyone else taking part, they take part too.

Scroll to descend

Supporters care, then scroll on.

A petition and a donate button ask for a moment and give nothing back.

The movement is invisible.

Thousands of people act alone and never see how many others are with them.

Every donation is watched.

You cannot afford a site that looks good and moves nothing.

People join what they can see.

A movement becomes real when its members can see each other. Put every supporter on a map, count every pledge in real time, show the next person that they would not be alone.

We are the creatives that have crafted some of the world's best technologies, and now you have direct access to us, without the middle man. We've removed the middle men, expensive offices, and countless project managers to give you access to some of the world's most talented professionals at a fraction of the cost of big agencies. We craft high quality solutions that are smart, secure, fit for purpose and delivered on time.

What we make

What we build for causes

What do you need people to do?

For Unify's global meditations, we built maps where anyone could mark their spot or host a gathering. 72,000 people registered on the map in three weeks: a live picture of a worldwide movement, drawn by the movement itself.

Why us

Why causes work with us

  1. Proven at global scale.

    72,000 people on one campaign map in three weeks, across every continent.

  2. Every donation accountable.

    We agree the action that matters and build to move it. You get reporting you can put in front of your trustees.

  3. Senior people only.

    The person who scopes your project is the person who builds it. No account managers relaying messages, no juniors learning on your budget.

  4. Tested, and under warranty.

    Every build is tested rigorously before it reaches you, on real phones and real browsers. We deliver it bug-free and back that with a warranty: if a bug turns up, we fix it at our cost.

How it goes

  1. A conversation

    You tell us what you need to happen. We ask about the business, the audience and the deadline, and give you an honest view on fit.

  2. A plan and a price

    A written plan of what we will build, in what order, for how much. No surprises later.

  3. The build

    You see working progress throughout, tested as we go on real phones and browsers. Decisions are made with you, not for you.

  4. Launch, and the campaign

    We launch it, measure how people really use it, and keep improving what matters.

Our commitment

“You gotta hire these guys, they are awesome!”

The site speaks for itself, but what speaks even louder was the ease of the creation process. What's key is the site's responsiveness to all devices and the clean, professional feel. They have a team of digital wizards and if you're lucky enough to hire them to build your site, you're going to be as honoured as I am.

Next step

Ready when you are.

Every enquiry is read by the founder. Nothing is shared, and there is no sales sequence.

Read how we work first

Questions people ask first

What happens if something breaks after launch?

We fix it. Everything we build is tested rigorously before it goes live and comes with a warranty, so if a bug turns up, putting it right is our cost, not yours.

We have a small team. Can you do everything?

Yes. Design, build, hosting and support, with one point of contact. You focus on the cause.

Can it handle a big day?

Campaign infrastructure is built for the peak, not the average, and tested before launch.

What about supporter data and GDPR?

Collect only what you need, with clear consent, stored properly. Location sharing is always the supporter's choice.

What does it cost?

Campaign platforms typically start around £5,000. We will be straight with you about what your budget can do well.

Your cause

What do you need people to do?

Tell us the cause, the action and the moment. We will come back with how we would make it visible.

What do you need?

Pick as many as apply.

Rough budget?

Optional, but it helps us scope properly.
