About
A software company with roots.
Vermont has a culture of building things that last, of caring about the people around you, and of not taking shortcuts because of the short-term pressure to move fast. We try to bring that same sensibility to software.
Core & Spoon builds custom software for small businesses, startups, and mission-driven organizations. We take on work that matters — where the thing we build actually affects how people spend their days.
We're small on purpose. That means you work with the people actually building your product, not an account manager. It means we can move quickly without losing the thread. And it means we can be selective about what we take on, so we can do each thing well.
The is the work — the software, the craft, the thing we're actually building every day.
The is what the work funds. A portion of every project goes toward something we believe in: quietly helping people who are carrying debt they shouldn't have to carry alone.
We don't talk about it much. But it's why the name is what it is.
