Our Story

Our story

Born in 2013 as a product hub for a family office, we solved problems others couldn’t—delivering technology for entrepreneurs exhausted by broken promises and excessive costs. Along the way, we built a culture where exceptional talent thrives.

Word of mouth fueled our evolution into a unique hybrid—blending family office support with specialized product development expertise. This model helped partners achieve remarkable outcomes, from 0-1 launches and successful exits, to platforms facilitating millions in pro bono work.

Today, we’re 50+ builders across the Americas combining human craft with AI precision to transform your software development lifecycle—because in a world of endless talk, we prefer meaningful action.

We build products to build a better future

Since our inception, our commitment to leveraging technology for positive change has been a backbone of Able’s values. We are fortunate to have forged enduring partnerships with impactful non-profit organizations and companies that share our passion for making a difference beyond profit margins.

This ethos is a fundamental part of our identity and vision. Our journey is a testament to the belief that technology can be a force for good, and our dedication to this principle continues to drive us forward.

Partnering with Able always feels seamless. They combine technical excellence with a deep understanding and genuine care for our social mission, making them more than just a partner—they’re a critical extension of our team.

Able works with Giving Credit to help them achieve their social mission
PICI

The Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy (PICI) brings together Nobel prize-winning scientists, providing them with funding and resources to advance cancer treatment through immunotherapy.

What we’ve built together: Able created a platform for the institute's scientists, helping them to collaborate and share information to contribute to their goal of making cancer a curable disease.

Giving Credit

Giving Credit is a social credit network focused on reducing financial exclusion in low-income communities. It brings transparency to informal lending, offers loan guarantees for peer-lenders, and reports loan repayments to credit bureaus, helping reduce reliance on exploitative loans while providing tax deductions for loan losses.

What we’ve built together: We added a system for lenders and borrowers to send and repay money directly on the Giving Credit platform, making it a functional lending tool ready to be integrated with payment platforms like PayPal. We also implemented a reward system using the Giftbit API, enabling cash or gift card rewards without fees to boost participation and move more money to users.

We The Action

We The Action (WTA) is a small nonprofit established by Marc Elias and Laurene Powell Jobs, aimed at leveraging the expertise of government and philanthropic lawyers to promote a more just and equitable society.

What we’ve built together: Able built a platform connecting pro bono lawyers with nonprofits, which boosted lawyer participation, enhanced volunteer experiences, and amplified WTA's impact.

Uptogether

UpTogether is a community, movement, and platform that supports initiatives in historically undervalued communities to improve lives collectively.

What we’ve built together: We rearchitected their payment platform integrating with new payment providers, improved system observability capturing production issues earlier, and added architecture and design best practices to their process to increase efficiency.

Invested

InvestED, a developing non-profit with the aim to empower high school students to make more informed choices as they prepare for, apply to, and choose which college to attend.

What we’ve built together: Able helped them build their first product that used proprietary outcomes and portfolio methodology to scale their intervention program.

Wishbone

Wishbone is a non-profit that enables low-income high school students to experience life-changing summer programs in an effort to bridge the opportunity gap. 

What we’ve built together: Able designed and built the platform that connects students with these opportunities. Since 2012, it has helped 2176 students raise $4,158,601 in funding for summer programs.

Investing in a LATAM workforce

We incubated and launched a school, Codeable, to provide opportunity and career advancement for engineering students in LATAM. Since inception, it has graduated 9 cohorts of students (and counting!) with a 95% job placement rate.
