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 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 (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 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, 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 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.
