North Axis develops and runs its own software. We take a problem worth solving, build the thing that solves it, and stay with it — through launch, through the unglamorous years after, and through whatever it needs to become.
Our current platform is Cornr, a neighbourhood app for iPhone that connects people living within about a ten minute walk of one another. It is built, designed and moderated in Canada, and it launches first in Canada.
The company is structured to hold more than one product. Cornr is the first.
Our values
What guides every decision.
- 01Direction
Guiding vision and leadership.
We decide where we are going before we start building, and everything we ship points the same way.
- 02Elevation
Rising above, creating value.
Good enough is a ceiling. We build things that leave people better off than we found them.
- 03Strength
Built on solid foundations.
Careful engineering, honest privacy, and no shortcut that costs the people using it later.
- 04Purpose
Driven by purpose, focused on impact.
We judge our work by what it changes, not by what it collects.
How we work
Decide carefully. Then commit.
Long-term
We build products we intend to still be running in ten years, and we make decisions on that timescale.
Human-centred
The person using the thing comes before the metric describing them.
Product-driven
We operate our own products rather than advising on other people's.
Community-minded
We build for places, which means the people in them and the businesses that keep them going.
