Common Questions

Correct. We fund 100% of the project cost—technology, student labor, and project management. Your only contribution is time from your team to define the problem and provide feedback. We handle everything else.

We partner with all local community organizations that need technology support to solve problems that create positive impact in the community. This includes nonprofits, urban farms, educational programs, health and wellness organizations, environmental groups, and any mission-driven organization working to strengthen our community.

Yes. We work with you to tell your story authentically. You approve all content before publication. We're transparent about your journey—the challenge, the solution, the real results—which actually builds more credibility than sanitized marketing.

2-3 months from application to launch. Week 1: scoping & problem definition. Weeks 2-6: build & test with student team. Week 7-8: refinement & documentation. We move fast because we're focused and resourced.

We specialize in practical, lightweight solutions: automation workflows, data analysis, chatbots, scheduling tools, resource matching, predictive models, and content generation. We avoid complex ML models that need massive datasets. Focus is on high-impact, low-complexity solutions.

We include 30 days of support post-launch for bug fixes and tweaks. After that, you own the solution. It's yours to keep, modify, or hand off to someone on your team. We provide documentation and training so you're never stranded.
