About Ronin Tech Collective

Ronin Tech Collective is organized around the core values of worker-ownership and control. We promote democracy and social justice in our workplace, in our community and in our work.

We are focused on having down-to-earth, honest, and close working relationships with our clients. We believe in setting clear and realistic expectations, and delivering on our commitments. To that end, we are always willing to accept feedback on our work.

We are centrally based in Brattleboro, Vermont and have remote members in Northampton, Massachusetts and Austin, Texas.

We are proud members of the U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives, and the Valley Alliance of Worker Cooperatives.
