About OpenCrowd
OpenCrowd is an open-source Identity & Access Governance platform built for organizations that run open-source collaboration tools.
We solve a fundamental problem: as organizations adopt sovereign digital workplaces (xWiki, OpenProject, Nextcloud), they lose visibility and control over who has access to what, across which applications, and why.
OpenCrowd provides that single source of truth.
Our Mission
Bring enterprise-grade identity governance to the open-source world — without vendor lock-in, without forced cloud, and without compromising on sovereignty.
What We Believe
- Open source first — The core platform is and will always be open source.
- Sovereignty by design — Your data, your infrastructure, your rules.
- European-built — Powered by Mistral AI (Paris). Data stays where you decide.
- Governance, not authentication — Identity providers handle "who are you?" OpenCrowd handles "who should have access to what, and is it still appropriate?"
- Simplicity over complexity — One onboard, one offboard, one view. Not spreadsheets across 5 tools.
The Team
OpenCrowd is founded by Mike, an identity governance professional with experience in enterprise IAM, compliance, and open-source collaboration stacks.
We are actively seeking:
- Technical co-founders
- Open-source contributors
- Integration partners (xWiki, OpenProject, Nextcloud ecosystem)
- Early adopter organizations
