Creating a new story.
Together.
“We believe in humanity and that if given the chance to fully nurture, explore and express our true nature as a social and collaborative species we could be a pretty decent curator to the living system that is our planet.” Tim Olsson, Managing Director, SSL
The TL;DR
Our purpose is to build financially viable open-source software that can rival the best. The icing on the cake is that as a non-profit outfit we will be returning all the surplus back to this world in whatever way our users see fit. This will be our contribution to ushering in the next era of out economical evolution: Custodial Capitalism. You are welcome.
A New Operating System for a New Era
Picture a world where systems work for people, not against them. It might seem pretty distant given our pretty dismal detour from living up to our singular potential as a species. We could do and be so much better.
We have the resources and the knowledge to solve the big problems, but the systems in place? Sheesh… They are definitely not cutting it. Our mission is to change that. And, sure, you’ve heard that before, but we are not just talk. We are actually designing tools that let communities control their own resources and create real impact, whether it’s through the Altruistic Wallet ecosystem or open-source platforms like Circles.
We believe people—not corporations—should decide where resources go. Circles gives changemakers a place to connect, collaborate, and solve problems that matter. The Altruistic Wallet, on the other hand, is a tool for funding what you believe in. You can’t spend it on yourself, only on projects and people making a difference. It’s about bringing power back to the community.
We take the approach of the whole-systems engineer. We’re not interested in quick fixes, partial hacks or band-aids for broken systems. We want to build something entirely new—a kind of custodial capitalism that allows people to take back the control of their resources and help each other thrive. By focusing on open-source tech and human-driven design, we’re creating tools that connect the dots between local action and global change.
Our mission is to build a future that works for everyone. If this resonates with you, then let’s roll up our sleeves and get on with it, together.
