Our journey
In 2013 we started gathering and listening to people’s stories of hitting paywalls. Thousands of stories of information needed and possibilities missed. We’ve tried to answer those calls with products and partnerships that make a difference. Today, we’re building free & open source tools so that open access is easy and equitable.
