At npm, Inc. we do three things to support this goal:

Run the open source registry as a free service.

Build tools and operate services that support the secure use of packages in a private or enterprise context.

Create innovative paid products which enhance the lives of professional JavaScript developers around the world.

We aim for a sustainable approach to work and life, because that is the best way to maximize long-term speed, while retaining clarity of vision. Compassion is our strategy.
