It is in our nature.
Everyone in the Boston-Cambridge tech community, whatever we do, are builders at heart. We all want to solve problems together to build a community that is bigger than ourselves.

WeMustBuild is not an attempt to create yet another 501(c)(3) nonprofit to “give back.”

WeMustBuild was founded with the goal of reinventing the entire nonprofit sector to allow it to catch up with the realities of the modern world.

Our goal is to create a software backbone that is more like a protocol, to centralize and then eliminate overhead and transaction costs, while being an open platform that allows decentralization and diversity of solutions to flourish.

If you understand the concepts behind Wikipedia, Bitcoin, and the Internet itself, you have an idea of what we are up to.
