Knowledge Futures is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to making knowledge open and accessible to all. Powered by academic, industry, and advocacy groups, we work collaboratively to build and support products and protocols that democratize knowledge. Founded in 2018 as a partnership between the MIT Press and the MIT Media Lab, Knowledge Futures initially focused on developing publishing tools but soon expanded its scope to address the systemic challenges faced by public-oriented groups.

Today, we are committed to building a full-stack of technology protocols and products that demonstrate an effective, equitable, and sustainable knowledge economy is possible. We work with partners to design for interoperability and catalyze a distributed ecosystem of development. At Knowledge Futures, we are guided by core values such as accessibility, conscientiousness, curiosity, egalitarianism, systemic outlook, and sustainability.

These values drive all aspects of our work, from product development to day-to-day relationships. We prioritize sustainable, long-term solutions that tackle problems at their root rather than superficially. Join us in our mission to move knowledge forward and become a member of the Knowledge Futures community.

We offer remote, 4-day workweek opportunities and value-driven team culture
