our story

“Suma” means “sum, total, addition, or combination” in Spanish. The suma app aggregates opportunities for frontline communities to access discounts and subsidies, making the whole greater than the sum of its parts.

We envision an inclusive technology landscape for frontline communities that are often exploited or overlooked by the tech sector.
