What we do.
Columbia Software Solutions is a student-run organization that builds free, custom software and AI/ML solutions for nonprofits and small businesses in New York City.
Our teams work directly with each organization to understand what they need, then design, build, and launch tools they can use: from websites and apps to databases, automation, and AI tools. Students gain hands-on experience working with real clients, and organizations get software built around their needs at no cost.
