About WeAct

Amplifying grassroots activism

WeAct is a collaborative chat app designed to amplify grassroots activism, giving social movements the tools for more effective ways of communicating and organizing.

    The challenge The challenge

    Managing talent costs in line with agile growth

    With ambitious goals to launch a grassroots activism app, WeAct had an urgent need to source mission-driven talent across UI/UX design, front-end development, and content marketing. However, with a typical start-up budget and a focus on agile growth, hiring full-time employees would have posed significant risks.

    Finding the right talent presented another set of hurdles. WeAct needed people with the requisite skills, a genuine passion for activism, and the dedication to see projects through – a combination that proved hard to find.

As the company has grown, it’s diversified its remote workforce capabilities, leveraging Work for Impact to find talent with more specialized skill sets.
