Pay it forward · Our pro bono initiative

NimbleForward

Building with the ones who cannot buy it.We’re starting with education, housing and wellbeing.

Same craft, same standards. No invoice. Bring someone forward

First partnerships

Our shared responsibility

AI does work. But not yet for everyone.

Organisations with the budget for a first build get it first. That is fair, and it is how we grow too. But schools, housing initiatives and patient organisations have the same need, with a very different budget. Without a push, they wait.

People using our products every month
Our North Star100M better everyday lives

Monthly active users across the products we build with our partners. Reach, not a measure of improvement. The second number is the ambition we committed to at NimbleFest 2026.

The shift

Building got cheap. Access did not.

The risk

If AI only reaches those who can already pay for it, some organisations get left behind.

The answer

Progress should bring everyone forward. Especially where the need is great.

Where we want to start

A better everyday life.
For more people.

Education

A better, more personal education.

Learning that adapts to the child. More attention, less preparation.

From our Study Buddy rootsOpen

Housing

A home to start from.

Housing opportunities for the less privileged. Stability for young people, room to build a future.

Wellbeing

Answers when they matter most.

Advancing research, cancer first. Faster answers for people, more time to care.

The power of AI. For the ones who need it most.

How it works

An AI-native loop. Pointed at the people who need it most.

01

One real need

We start from a concrete problem inside an organisation that does the work, not from a technology looking for a use.

02

Someone to own it

A partner who carries it after we leave. Without an owner, even the best prototype fades.

03

Build something useful

Short, sprint-based and AI-first. Working software early, because experience beats a slide deck.

04

Help it last

Handover, guardrails and a team that can keep improving it. Then we pass it on.

What Nimble Forward is

  • A fraction of our people, time and expertise
  • The same team and tools we use for our partners
  • Focused on education, housing and wellbeing
  • A commitment, not a campaign

What it is not

  • Not a foundation, a fund or a product
  • Not a discount on commercial work
  • Not a pilot that stays on a slide
  • Not a replacement for the people doing the work

Why Forward

“We have been given a lot: partners who trust us with real work, access to the best tools, a decade of learning since Study Buddy. Forward is how we pass that on to the ones who cannot buy it.”
