Company Summary

The Charity Engine grid is the world's cheapest, greenest computing platform, with 100k+ home PCs contributing 500k - 1m core-hours daily (that would otherwise have been wasted).

It can also scale at will. Our online adverts add 20k-30k PCs per week for less than $3k, so it can become the world's largest platform on demand.

Profits are split between cash prizes for its users, CE itself and Oxfam, CARE, Amnesty, MSF, etc.

Everybody wins.
