welcome to somos 🚀... an edtech startup? sure, but more than that we're a social enterprise on a mission to create a first of its kind platform co-owned by language teachers...
at somos, we understand that language teachers, especially those teaching minoritized languages, need more platforms that truly value educators and promote linguistic diversity. 🌈
we're here to build more than just tools for teaching - we want to be part of movements championing language, migrant & worker rights. ✊🏾
all of our paid pricing plans offer paths to co-ownership in somos.
why? we don't want customers, we're inviting co-owners who can help us build a new kind of platform and be rewarded fairly for doing so.

we want our mission to cut across not just everything we do but how we do it.
along with co-ownership for teachers, we also have a community ownership programme for grassroots organisations and have put a unique entry-level hiring programme in place for refugees living in limbo.
