Moving the world toward joy
for the first time our shared culture becomes visible with &tags
when people (&ees) do this together, intelligence starts learning from what people actually love instead of what platforms decide to amplify
the foundation
We spent years building what can't be undone
We're building the foundation for the world we want to see. Where most teams prioritize speed, we prioritized purpose.
legal
Public Benefit Corporation
Special clauses, developed with Dentons, legally put purpose before profit. "Move the world toward joy" has been our mission since day one.
i.p.
Trademarks + Patents
Numerous trademarks throughout the world protect your &tag. Two U.S. patents covering data exchange, pay-by-presence, and asymmetric relationships.
brand
and.com
A simple brand, built around the literal symbol of connection between things: "&". A people-first story where we all have ownership and agency.
the team
Our culture is people-first
We believe that the only way to build what we're building is to put people first at every turn. That allows us to move at the speed of trust - which enables us to serve humanity at scale.
