WHO WE ARE
We’re Spring ACT – Action. Compassion. Technology. As a women-led, multiple award-winning Swiss non-profit, we harness innovation to empower survivors of injustices, starting with Sophia, the world’s first chatbot offering survivors of domestic violence support 24/7, anywhere in the world, without leaving a digital trace. Over 40,000+ individuals have already found a lifeline in Sophia: www.springact.org

From expanding our Digital Safe to developing platforms like Comeback CatZ (tackling sexism with witty comebacks), we believe in using technology as a force for good. We believe in empathetic and impactful leadership based on our values of empowerment, curiosity, inclusiveness, impact, integrity, courage, compassion, and fun (read more).
