About the company

Squadformers was created because we believe that great work can be done better together. Our team is composed of a bunch of creators, designers, and builders by heart and our mission is to accelerate meaningful missions, applying software to areas that really need it.

At the core of Squadformers is the team, or as we like to call it, the Squad. We are friends and colleagues that lift you up when things get tough, challenge you to be a better version of yourself, and respect one another, all while working together on an important mission for the world. Yes. We like to be decent Humans...

We have two types of missions: partner missions, and Squads For Good missions. We use the money from the partner missions to fund the Squads For Good missions because those we do for free. Important missions that urgently need our help, like climate change and inequality. And the partner missions? Those are important, too. We help Silicon Valley startups like Gabb create safer and less distracting technology for kids. We help Bevy create community with their online platform. And we help Compose build a less distracting online world, with more focus and flow. And many more.
