Growth strategy
We grow by deepening our service lines rather than widening our catalogue. From tech startups and SMEs to larger enterprises, the pattern is the same: existing partnerships expand because the work is good, and new ones arrive because someone talked about it.
Our most recent step in this direction is Volcanic Minds AI, the division dedicated to AI transformation, agentic systems and EU AI Act governance.
Strategic priorities
These are directions, reviewed each year. They are not measurable targets, and we would rather say so than dress them up as metrics we don’t publish:
- Grow the AI service line and the Volcanic Minds AI division.
- Diversify revenue across sectors and types of partner.
- Strengthen and expand internships and co-ops.
- Keep investing in open source, and use it in partner projects where it fits.
- Explore selected international markets.
- Build alliances in complementary sectors.
- Strengthen our online presence.
Work for equity
Our main business is service delivery, but we do take equity in projects we believe in. We look at ambitious ones, usually in their growth or maintenance phase, which suits partners looking for alternative financing.
We check each opportunity for real alignment with our mission and for a realistic path to shared results. Most of the ones we look at, we decline.
Social projects & no-profit activities
We give back a portion of our success. It builds community, puts our expertise to use for something other than revenue, and keeps the team connected to issues worth caring about.
If you have a project to propose, reach out and we will evaluate it together. Details on how to contact us.
Our (open) projects
We maintain a suite of open-source projects in TypeScript and Node.js:
- Volcanic Backend: our backend foundation, based on Fastify, with a ready-to-run sample project
- Volcanic Tools: a tree-shakeable library for MFA, mailing and related utilities
- Volcanic Admin: our admin interface
- Volcanic Database TypeORM: archived and no longer maintained, kept public for reference
Alongside these we keep public experiments, such as our Mastra AI and AI governance playgrounds, where we test agentic approaches before proposing them to a partner.
Everything is designed to be adapted rather than adopted as-is. The full list lives in our GitHub organization.
