WeCreate GmbH is a German impact startup that operates a software platform for digital collaboration and civic engagement. The company was founded in October 2021 by Björn Bloss, Enrico Hofmann, Jonas Döring, and Robert Matzke as a spin-off from the University of Leipzig. The founders were politically active together since 2018 and established WeCreate to foster societal change. Bloss serves as CEO, and Hofmann is the CTO.
The core of WeCreate's offering is its GDPR-compliant and ad-free platform, wecreate.world, designed to enhance the effectiveness of civil, political, cultural, and local engagement. It provides digital tools that aim to lower the barriers to participation, strengthen community cohesion, and increase visibility for projects. The platform functions as a comprehensive solution for organizations like associations, municipalities, educational institutions, NGOs, and startups, offering digital spaces for planning, coordination, and public communication. Key features include tools for group collaboration such as chat and video calls, collaborative text editing, to-do lists, calendars, and file storage.
The business model includes a freemium offering for basic group collaboration, while more extensive 'Network' functionalities for larger organizations are a paid service. These networks allow organizations to manage internal processes and public-facing communications from a single location. In addition to its digital platform, WeCreate provides services for analog and cross-media participation processes and consults for public and non-profit organizations on digital participation strategies. This includes the provision of 'Stadtlaboren' (city labs) to facilitate in-person engagement.
