Digital Infrastructure
We help you keep your technology friction-free
Whether you’re a trade union, public sector body, funder, or community energy group, we’re here to build digital products and partnership for the long term.
From bespoke web platforms to data dashboards, portals, and case management systems, we make sure your technology is an asset to your mission, not an obstacle. We don’t want to just build and hand over, we want to be involved – supporting and iterating as your needs evolve.
As a worker-owned cooperative we champion an open source, ethical tech mindset to all of our projects. We build tools for longevity, sovereignty and for sectors to own, share, and improve together.

Design and Innovation
We make sure you build the right thing
Good tech starts with knowing what to build. We run discovery sessions, user research, and testing to make sure we’re addressing the right problems – whether you’re a first-time founder bringing a product to market, or an established organisation piloting something new.
We help you test assumptions early, through design sprints and prototyping, and develop Minimum Viable Products that get you to market without unnecessary risk or cost. Throughout, we prioritise codesign, equity and accessibility over flashiness.

Existing product & design teams • Teams piloting new tools and approaches • Early-stage founders • Innovation and incubator programmes

Organisational Development
We help you become more democratic, not just more digital
We believe that for real systems change to take place, civil society needs more democratic models of control and ownership. We are therefore passionate about sharing the cooperative model of business.
Whether you’re a small team wanting to make faster, more democratic decisions, or a growing cooperative looking for guidance to develop and thrive, we’re here to provide all kinds of support from SPACE4, our cooperative tech space for social change, in the heart of Finsbury Park, Islington.
You are always welcome to visit us.

Leadership teams • Cooperatives • Non-hierarchical organisations • Socially impactful organisations • Startups and emerging businesses
