We invent things
to help good causes.

We work with charities, for free, to design equipment to help our planet.
Our projects are funded through brand partnerships.

A note from our founders

Billions are spent on performative marketing stunts every year. That funding rarely makes a positive impact.

We think this is stupid, so we’ve built Tandem to fix it. Brands fund real work for causes that deserve it. The content that comes back is extraordinary because the story underneath it is true.

Brands get brilliant marketing material.

Good causes get inventions for free.

We get to build ridiculous things.

Everyone wins. ”
