Better software comes from our better tools and methods: Agile, rapid prototyping, Lean Startup. Let's talk about your non-profit, your people and your needs. We work with you to make your fundraising and delivery more effective with better Websites, Mobile, Apps, Process Automation and projects.
Our purpose is to enable non-profit organisations to become more effective and efficient. As a non-profit ourselves, our aim is your aim – to overcome obstacles so you can help thousands more people in need.
Our work is Open Source, so no licence fees, no supplier lock-in, instead open API’s and access to lots of free modules. Because we are non-profit, we pass on our lower costs: no overheads, lower staff costs and no VAT. If we build a shared platform for your solution, we can reduce your costs much further.
In 2012 UC Berkeley's Software as a Service class was the first of Massively Open Online Class (MOOC) focused on modern software engineering. Ten's of thousands of students took the course and were champing at the bit to work on team projects. AgileVentures was founded to connect project teams with charity clients.
All through 2013 the process and operations evolved. Hundreds of coders signed up for the AgileVentures community. The "LocalSupport" project was deployed, improved, and started to be noticed. Thousands of lines of code were written, re-written and polished.
More and more programmers get involved to contribute to good causes online, starting new and varied initiatives like the OSRA project.
More and more developers join AgileVentures, with membership moving into the 1000s. Charity Jamborees introduce many more charities to the benefits of working with AgileVentures.
In collaboration with UC Berkeley, AgileVentures is creating paid project courses. Agile Ventures Premium Memberships allow individual developers to get extra support in their professional development.
AgileVentures develops the Social Prescribing and Self-Care wiki for the UK's National Health Service (NHS) Healthy London Partnership (HLP).
The NHS renews and extends their work with AgileVentures, and the mentor incentive program is created.
