About Deedmob
What is Deedmob?
Deedmob is a social-tech enterprise founded at the University of Oxford in 2017 and now headquartered in Amsterdam. It builds custom volunteer-management platforms that, in its own words, "activate, empower and scale the impact of volunteering communities." The numbers it publishes are substantial: 75K+ first-time volunteers via Deedmob, 12.5K+ organisations using the platform, 3M+ represented volunteers, and 42K+ matches made during COVID-19.
Deedmob's technology has been recognised externally: its founders were named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2020 alongside Greta Thunberg; the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation rated its solution "best-in-class in corporate volunteering technology"; and the BBC praised Deedmob as a solution to engage more volunteers in the UK thanks to its COVID-19 efforts. Customers include Vrijwilligerspunt Dalfsen and Spark Somerset, where the platform provides "500+ local organisations with their own shopfront for volunteering, resulting in 4000+ signups."

Work-Life Balance
Deedmob is mission-led: "Our mission is to empower everyone to contribute to a better world." Its purpose-driven framing — addressing climate change, homelessness, the refugee crisis, child obesity, and engaging young people in volunteering — extends to the working culture. The team works from a "bright office in the heart of Amsterdam" alongside an international ambassador network, and the company actively invites prospective hires to "drop us an e-mail at [email protected]" or check current vacancies.
