Built by the field.
Backed by code.
Driven by purpose.

We're technologists, social workers, and builders who joined forces across lived experience and deep expertise.

⚠️

The Broken System

Caseworkers buried in PDFs. Families repeating their story. Agencies overwhelmed by fragmented tech. We knew the system wasn't workingβ€”because we've lived it.

πŸ”§

Our Unfair Advantage

A founder raised in foster care. A social services veteran. A product builder. A machine learning engineer. We combined lived experience with enterprise-grade technical talent to architect systems that actually serve people.

πŸš€

The Solution We Built

We didn't build dashboards. We built tools that think with the field. Tools that make pathways visible. Tools that listen before recommending. And tools that protect trust above all else.

Founders who lived it.

Each of us brings irreplaceable experience that can't be hired or faked.

Our competitive advantage?

A founding team that spans lived experience, social systems, data engineering, and grassroots organizing β€” all under one roof, one mission.

Real lived experience in foster care and frontline work
Proven track records in academia and state reform
Deep community roots with scalable architecture
Software that feels like advocacy

Six tools. One shared belief.

Technology can't fix broken systems β€” but it can empower the people working to transform them.

🧠

Designed for Humans

Every tool we build starts with lived experience β€” frontline caseworkers, community members, and the very families we aim to serve.

Engineered for Action

Our solutions don't just analyze problems. They surface next steps, reduce friction, and enable better decisions across every layer of care.

🌍

Built to Work Together

Each product stands alone β€” but when combined, they form a data-connected, trust-centered ecosystem designed to scale with communities, not over them.
