Building shared value requires getting to know each other a little. A free 30-minute informal strategy chat will offer more clarity on:

How we can help
A bias toward action
Seven25 was founded in 2007 to serve not-for-profits exclusively. Since then, we’ve learned how to meld the financial rigour of for-profit entities, the networked impact of the third sector, and the agility of startup culture into a design-led methodology grounded in people and planet, and driven by iteration for long-term sustainability.
We learn so we can teach. We co-create to move forward, faster, with more equitable, nuanced, and holistic solutions.
Our team is multidisciplinary, distributed, and global in culture and nature. We have lived and worked in over 20 countries in English, French, and Spanish.
