Independent systems.
Shared possibilities.

Progress belongs
to the people
who make it.

Open Prem / Cincinnati, Ohio

We believe people should be able to shape the systems they depend on. Open Prem is our contribution to that possibility.

Independent components. Shared capability.

Important work deserves
an open foundation.

Software carries an extraordinary amount of knowledge and capability. When that capability is difficult to reach or connect, the people doing the work inherit those limits.

Our ambition is to make software more accessible to people and machines, so they can address the challenges in front of them. We approach that through connected capabilities, adaptable architecture, and a commitment to openness.

Open Prem is an independent company based in Cincinnati. We are an 1819 Innovation Hub coworking partner and a University of Cincinnati Venture Lab graduate.
