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 workingβbecause we've lived it.
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.
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.
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.
How Each Tool Maps to Real-Life Needs
"We're building with the people left out of the tech conversation β and we're designing systems that can serve millions without losing what matters most: trust."
Let's build what's needed.
