Our Plan

Mission and Values

Open Source & Sponsors

The driving force of Couchers is the global volunteer team, and they are the stars of the show.

That said, Couchers is an open-source project and we are very heavy users of open-source technologies ourselves. We want to give a huge shout out to the folks who have built the tools and technologies that make Couchers possible! We are also supported by some great companies that help us build and operate Couchers, whether it is because we are a non-profit or an open-source project.

Open Source Technologies

We'd like to thank the amazing folks who built these core technologies, without which Couchers couldn't exist:

Company Sponsorships

We are grateful to the following companies that generously provide us with free services, whether specifically due to our non-profit/open-source nature or as part of their general support:

Past Company Sponsorships

Previously, we enjoyed generous sponsorship from Vercel and took advantage of Mapbox's free plan, as they are the original creators of several essential open-source mapping technologies that we depend on.
