Interswarm works to improve decision-making regarding the use of advanced technologies in building healthy, diverse, equitable, and inclusive communities. We serve accountable companies that strive to improve the human experience through the responsible use of technology in their cities, and are hungry for accurate, accessible, and easily-consumable information products.
We are financial, operations and business experts, scholars, practitioners, and advanced technologists who fundamentally believe that while technology has the capacity to make human lives better in many ways, the vast majority of technology designers do not create inclusive products. We can do better, and we should.

Why us?
Good companies struggle to thrive when they cannot establish a clear and common understanding of their technology strategy. Poor understanding of technology itself and its social and economic implications further contribute to poor outcomes for the very communities often meant to benefit.
At Interswarm, we use our skills and experience to cut through the buzzword bull, decode lazy and fantastical language, and quickly direct your attention to technology risks, opportunities, and pitfalls especially oriented to questions of bias related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
