EMMA is a New York City-based worker-owned creative technology cooperative. We develop software for clients in the video game, theater, public installation and media arts spaces among others.
We would love to help you bring your creative vision to life. Get in touch with us and let's figure something out.
Worker-owned means that EMMA is owned equally and managed democratically by its current and future members—the people actually doing the work.
Not laboring to enrich absentee shareholders means a healthier, more sustainable work environment for us and a focus on building great experiences for our clients.
We believe this model is the future of our industry and beyond. We're committed to sharing our experience with others, so if you're thinking of starting a coop of any kind we'd love to talk to you.
