Philipp Rathjen
Founder & Managing Director
Philipp founded Digital Impact in 2023 to give public-interest organizations access to modern automation – without Big Tech dependence and without enterprise pricing.
About us
Technology that gives people their time back.
Digital Impact is an agency for workflow automation, app development and IT & AI consulting. We work for NGOs, social enterprises, public administration and businesses that want to achieve a lot with limited resources.
Why we exist
We take routine work off the plates of mission-driven organizations – so there's more time for people, mission and citizens.
Too many good organizations lose hours every day copying and pasting between inbox, spreadsheet and specialist systems. At the same time, they lack the budget and the IT department to change that. That's exactly where we come in: with automation that's affordable, protects data and genuinely helps in everyday work.
Our values
How you can tell we mean it.
-
Pragmatic
We start with the workflow that annoys you most – not with an 80-slide digital strategy.
-
Honest
We'll tell you when something isn't worth automating or when a spreadsheet is perfectly fine.
-
Data-minimal
GDPR is a prerequisite, not a selling point. Wherever possible, data and AI run in the EU or on your own systems.
-
Empowering
You should understand your workflows and be able to adapt them yourself. That's why we document, hand over and train.
-
Impact-driven
We measure success in time won back for people and mission – not in features. And in fair prices for nonprofits.
People
You talk to the people who build.
There are no account managers between you and the technology. Whoever advises on your project also builds it – and is still there for you afterward.
