CaseHub aggregates consumer claims into a class action (a group lawsuit), making the legal system accessible to people who otherwise cannot afford to use their rights against better-resourced opponents. We bring together affected consumers with law firms and third-party case funders. Concretely: We find areas where hundreds of thousands of people have been harmed by a company or public authority who has behaved unlawfully, and we build group lawsuits online, so that all affected people can join a case from the comfort of their home. We then bring to court those companies on behalf of the claimants, who don't have to go through the time consuming, stressing and hassle-filled legal process. We offer an entirely risk-free solution since we require no payment upfront to join a case and no payment at all if we lose the lawsuit.

Our sensor-based analytics and engagement platform will change the way people conduct businesses in the real world, and the way consumers interact with physical products and venues.

We make attractive and highly capable iBeacon devices, and SDKs that enable even non-programmers to integrate them with app platforms (Android and iOS). The growing popularity of communication technologies such as Bluetooth Smart has opened up totally new ways for people to engage with products and retail spaces – our products empower retailers to take advantage of these possibilities.

Our goal is to unlock the global potential to create social innovation by establishing pro-bono collaborations as a standard industry practice. That's why, as an independent Non-profit organization, we match Tech Companies and Nonprofits to build solutions to solve the world's problems. Our mission is to facilitate social organizations with acquiring and implementing new technologies. We believe that together we can help shape and improve the world.
