Any registered nonprofit, charity, or social enterprise. We prioritize organizations with a clear technology need and limited budget for custom software.
We match the stack to the project. Most commonly: Next.js, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Supabase. We'll discuss during Discovery.
Correct. The program is fully pro bono. Our students gain experience, your org gets production software. Sponsors fund our operations.
You're on your own, but you have full source code and documentation. Many orgs maintain the software with internal staff or re-apply for a follow-up cohort.
