Worker-Owned Tech Consultancy

Why Bocoup
Even superheroes need a secret weapon. For the team at the Algorithmic Justice League, Bocoup is ours. As a tiny but mighty non-profit, we have worked with Bocoup for years to build internal and external systems, custom visualizations, prototypes and more. Not only do they provide excellent development services, but they also have proven to be invaluable thought partners and co conspirators. If you want to work with a values-based organization that values attention to detail and robust execution, Bocoup will rise to the occasion and exceed your expectations.

Bocoup has been a tremendous support in building our digital capacity at Stop LAPD Spying Coalition. Their attention to detail and collaborative spirit ensuring community participation has been an important factor in creating products that are accessible, inclusive, and deeply engaging. We highly recommend Bocoup and wish them success.

We went to Bocoup because of their demonstrated success in the world of Scratch. From design to hand-off they delivered the knowledge, creativity, and technical expertise needed to meet our short-term goals and ultimately, the tools and knowledge we need to continue to grow the project into the future.

It was really fruitful working with Boaz [Sender] and the Bocoup team for the ongoing WPT Accessibility Interop project. Bocoup’s efforts contributed to the group tripling its expected test authoring output in 2023, and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish together in 2024.

Among other credentials, cypress’ long history of empathy and technical acumen in open-source projects made her an easy hire. […]

We’ve spent years building systems that abscond with the messages that screen readers typically speak to their users. Spiriting away these parcels of text has been a thrill, but before we can get into all the intrigue, you’ll have to know a bit about how we got here. During our years-long participation in ARIA-AT, we’ve […]
