Let's talk human agency

We believe that technology should increase rather than decrease human agency.

Good for people.

It's pretty simple-- people generally don't want tech products to wind up manipulating them into doing things they don't want to do.

Good for business.

Building products with human agency in mind results in happier, more satisfied customers who stick around, spend more money and refer their friends.

Good for life.

We strive to increase agency not just through building awesome products -- we treat our clients and team in ways that respect their agency and also donate 5% of our profits to highly effective charities.

Pretty Important.

Given the increasingly important role technology plays in our daily lives, and future technological advances like Brain Machine Interfaces, tech that is designed with agency in mind is crucial to our future.

Give a little, help a lot

We care about increasing human agency for everyone today and in the future, so we’re donating 5% of our profits to highly effective charities. You can vote right here to determine how we save lives next month:

What are highly effective charities?

Highly effective charities are high-impact and cost-effective, with hard evidence to support this. Unfortunately, some charities are less impactful than you might think, and we want our money to create as much positive change as possible.

We support these charities as part of our commitment to the effective altruism movement, which uses reasoning and careful analysis to find the best causes to work on. Together, when we choose the causes with the highest impact and take a longtermist view, we’re able to do much more good!
