To help you build a mission-driven career with more confidence and fewer compromises. These guides are here to spotlight tools, communities, and partners that align with the kind of values many of us care about — transparency, equity, access, and solidarity.
We include tools and communities that align with our values: privacy-respecting, fairer to creators, community-owned, or mission-led. Some we use ourselves — others come highly recommended by the responsible tech or social impact community.
Where possible, we’ve marked which tools or services we actively use. Others are either on our wishlist, recommended by trusted peers, or shared by SOMOS community members.
We’re open to thoughtful feedback. If something listed contradicts the values SOMOS aims to uphold, let us know — and ideally share context or alternatives. We’re learning too.
Honestly — we haven’t either (yet!). We’re a small team, and we’re making improvements at a sustainable pace.
Even switching one tool — like your browser or calendar — is a step away from extractive platforms. This space is here to support better choices, not shame imperfect ones.
Yes, please! We’re always looking for tools, boards, funders or communities that support independent, mission-driven work.
Roughly once per quarter — or more often if we hear about important updates or community suggestions. Sign up for our newsletter to get notified when new tools or stories are added.
