Who We Are

Our ethos is open source. That means freedom, trust, and accountability are built into every line of code. We reinvest 3% of our profits back into the open-source community, because we believe tech is most powerful when it serves everyone.

At our core, we value freedom, teamwork, accountability, and uncompromising quality. If you want to challenge the status quo, and shape tools that set people free, OpenTeams is the place to do it.
