Our vision

Build an institution that empowers people to realize their creative potential and accelerate global innovation.

Our purpose is to organize knowledge workers worldwide to accelerate innovations across all industries. By 2029, we plan to have one million knowledge workers serving both VC-backed startups and major global enterprises. Our clients come to us with an idea and we quickly turn around a proposal with an estimate and milestones, but only contract on a time and material basis (no fixed-price fixed scope work, no equity payment), and we do not sell product licenses. To deliver better, more affordable, and faster services, we have created "Flow" an API, web, and a mobile native application.
