About the company

EdgeCase is a social enterprise focused on bringing access to affordable digital content to people and locations without connectivity by introducing user-friendly edge connectivity systems and interfaces. We

Approximately 38% of the world’s population cannot afford internet access. The power to decide who and which locations is concentrated in the hands of just a few companies in each country, who year after year decide to invest in improving services for only in the locations where the highest earning populations live. Their goal is profit, not universal connectivity. These facts are driving EdgeCase’s mission and approach: A fundamentally new combination of technology and business model are needed to disrupt the status quo.

Edge devices have never been user-friendly or cheap. They are often used to bolster the power of centralized networks, rather than to empower the edge. By addressing the question of user-friendliness and affordability, EdgeCase will enable decentralization and democratization of internet service provision.
