Building software that makes an impact
Rocketmakers is an impact-focused organisation.
The ultimate goal is to have a positive impact on the lives of 50 million people through the software that we build.
Rocketmakers’ 10-year goal is not to grow the company to x, sell the company for y, or even generate revenue or profit. Sure, some of those things might happen along the way and some might be targets in their own right.
This goal has always been a driver for the business and in early 2020 it was established formally as the centre of our organisational strategy.
Our ultimate ambition:
on the lives of
50 million people
through the
software we build.

Outreach and inspiring the next generation of software engineers, developers, designers and technologists
Since its inception, Rocketmakers has been committed to helping improve diversity and access in the tech sector. We are active members of the community and always have an outreach project on the boil. Recent examples include:
Creation of the Tech for Good open dataset in partnership with TechSPARK
Provision of training sessions and content as part of Bath Digital Festival and Digital Skills Exchange
Hosts of virtual work experience with the Speakers for Schools
Speakers at Industry Insights sessions with Bath College
Rocketmakers works pro bono for causes that we believe in
Every year, organisations and individuals approach us to request our help with projects that inspire us and so we will, at our discretion, undertake small projects pro bono.
We have committed 2% percent of our working hours to support projects that positively benefit the local community, and increase the potential for positive impact across the region.
