Why Mission-Driven Organizations Deserve Better Software
We've watched the same pattern play out for fifteen years. A nonprofit or mission-driven organization needs a new website or internal tool. They talk to agencies. They get two kinds of proposals: the enterprise pitch and the bargain pitch.
The enterprise pitch comes from a firm that builds for Fortune 500 companies and treats your $80K budget like a rounding error. They recommend platforms with six-figure licensing fees. They scope a discovery phase that costs more than your entire project should. The proposal is beautiful. The fit is terrible.
