Who we are
Development Seed is an online communications consultancy. We’re called on by some of the most influential organizations in the world to craft communication strategies and develop web applications. Serving both as strategists and implementers for our clients and as an open source research and development operation, our unique consulting practice bridges cutting edge technology with strategic impact and efficient tools that improve the day-to-day operations of our partners. In short, we build simple and innovative tools that make the difference in mission-critical situations.
For the past six years, we have worked with teams around the world that need results solving tough communications challenges, particularly in the international development field. We focus our work in a few key sectors so we can get details right on niche projects, including knowledge management, aggregation, data collection and visualization, mapping, and scaling projects, among others. Our partners in this work have included communications leaders, economists, public health practitioners, and crisis response experts at organizations like the World Bank, the United Nations, USAID, Human Rights Watch, InterAction, the New America Foundation, and the Knight Foundation.
