What is Commu?
Commu is a startup founded by three young entrepreneurs with the goal of making it easier to help and ask for help. Commu is a mobile application where you can ask and give help in your area. We serve private users, organizations as well as companies. We believe that lowering the threshold to ask for and give help, and making it as easy as possible, can promote community and reduce loneliness.
Goal is to do good and create a profitable business
Commu is a Social Enterprise, which means that our aim is to do good and create profitable business (i.e. jobs!). The Social Enterprise label is a recognition from the Finnish Work Federation.
Commu is free for individuals to download and use to request and give help. Commu is also used by businesses that we help to do good deeds and by municipalities that offer Commu to their residents as an easy way to ask for and give help in their municipality. Thanks to our corporate and municipal customers, you too can ask for and give help, easily and safely!
Social sustainability, corporate volunteering and CSR made easy! We help companies do good deeds and measure their impact.
More wellbeing and less loneliness to cities. Commu helps residents in cities ask for help and give help in their neighborhoods.

How do I build my own support network?
“I had just moved to Tampere when the Covid19 pandemic struck. I didn’t know anyone from my new hometown and was wondering who I could ask for help with, for example, going to the store or pharmacy. I would have wanted to help myself. That is why I started bouncing around the idea of a digital doorbell where you could easily ask for and give help in your immediate area. “
Ronnie has a long background in app development and has built the Commu app. Ronnie leads the Commu team and is responsible for developing our business.
Communities reduce loneliness
“I’m an identical triplet and through that I’ve always belonged to a community. The power of communities is huge. If I don’t have my own safety net, social well-being can be shaken. Through my background as a psychiatric nurse I recognize the challenges in different situations in life and how communities can prevent those issues. Through Commu I aim to be a part of the change in the culture of helping and asking for help. ”

Everyone can ask for and give peer support
“Growing up, I was really sick as a child and during my teenage years. I felt that my illnesses defined me as a human being and I no longer belonged to any group. Peer to peer support is important to me, because we all have experiences someone could learn and benefit from. If we support each other, we can prevent social isolation and loneliness together. I don’t want anyone feel left alone.
