Enfold: A radically-democratic cooperative organization focused on developing technology for improving mental health and scientific research.

Our Values

We live and breathe the following 12 core values, which form the foundation of everything we think, say, and do:

Themes

Social Justice

Ethical Behavior

Care for Others

Self Care

Community

Diversity

We embrace and celebrate each others' unique backgrounds, strengths, and weaknesses.

Equity

Equal pay for equal work. Every employee makes the same salary. Every employee is made a co-owner the day they are hired.

Inclusion

We maintain gender parity and racial parity in all hiring practices. We proactively work to listen to and amplify marginalized voices.

Mental Health

We celebrate, support, and nurture each others' neurodiversity. We support and encourage each other in each of our mental health journeys.

Integrity

We say what we mean. We mean what we say. We do what we promise. We never make promises we can't keep.

Transparency

We make every decision in the open, with all employee owners involved.

Grace

We are all flawed human beings, and we give each other the freedom to try and fail. We forgive others who sincerely work to right the wrongs they are responsible for. And we give ourselves grace when we fail as well.

Trust

We hold each other accountable based on the results of our work, and we trust each other to do the work in the way best suited to each of our unique capabilities. We build trust by respecting each others' boundaries and adhering to our company's values.

Workplace Flexibility

We allow each other to work from anywhere, at any time of day that works best for us and our families. No timesheets. Ever. (Learn why: 1 2 3 4 5)

Purpose

We constantly work to make life better for everyone. We recognize and reward those who go beyond expectations to make our world a better place.

Sustainability

We aim to grow an organization and create an impact that will live far beyond our own lifetimes. We are mindful stewards of the future of humanity and our planet.

Compassion

We recognize that everyone has challenges, pain, and insecurities. We keep our hearts open and remember to reach out to others to lend support and care, that our capacity to care begins with self-compassion.

Our Services

Just as you are selective about who you work with, we are very selective about our clients. If our Values above resonate with yours, we'd love to work with you.

Strategic consulting

Design Thinking workshops

Market research & analysis

Brand & market strategy

Customer & user research

Creative direction

UX (User experience) strategy & design

Software development

Web applications (Angular, React, HTML5/CSS)

Servers, APIs, and middleware (Python, NodeJS)

Databases and search (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch)

Cross-platform mobile apps (React Native, NativeScript)

Native mobile applications (iOS/Swift, Android/Java)

Note: in case you missed it in the Flexibility value above, we don't do timesheets. If your organization can't hire us without using timesheets, we may not be able to help you. But we don't compromise our values.
