Generosity at our core
Cedar Garden was founded on a different principle: software companies don't have to extract maximum value from their customers. Like the cedar trees that inspire our name, we believe in growing strong and steady rather than aggressively capturing market share.
Our work reflects our gratitude to God and a commitment to building technology that honors both our users and our calling. We charge sustainably — enough to do good work and stay in business — not extractively. Users are humans, not money machines.
We maximize user value. Not shareholders.
Here's how we make that possible.
Extremely Small
Cedar Garden is owned and operated by one programmer who already has a well-paying job. No salaries to pay means no pressure to squeeze users.
No Investors
We have no investors, and we'll say no to any who ask. No one is expecting returns, so we're free to prioritize users over profits.
A Mission for God
The founder has always wanted to be Christlike in his work. Cedar Garden is a way to spread generosity through software.
Accountability
We built our brand on being generous. We would have nothing if we suddenly shifted to greed. Our reputation keeps us honest.
