Bootstrapped by a Small Team With a Big Passion for Open-Source
We think you shouldn’t have to choose between powerful software, an honest price, and your own privacy. So we built a platform where you don’t have to.
Our Mission
De-Google. De-Microsoft. De-Big-Tech.
Federated Computer is on a mission to transform business software with open-source. Every piece of software your business needs has a capable, “free,” flexible open-source alternative — the hard part has always been making it work together, reliably, without a technical odyssey. That’s the problem we solve.
We help businesses “de-Google,” “de-Microsoft,” and de-Big-Tech in general — winning back self-determination, ownership of their own data, and real flexibility over how their technology works for them.
