Our Vision
To empower organizations worldwide to own and control their technology — eliminating unnecessary dependencies through exceptional engineering, open architectures, and sustainable digital transformation.
About Us
A software engineering company built by engineers who saw too many projects done the wrong way — and decided to do it right.
42mate started in July 2013 when three founders — all engineers — set out to build a company that prioritizes craftsmanship, partnership, and results over process theater. We began with three founders and one employee. More than a decade later, we're still a deliberately small, highly skilled team — and the quality of our work keeps getting better.
We're present in the United States and Argentina, and we've worked that way since day one. Over the years we've delivered for global brands and early-stage startups alike — from media and entertainment to education, healthcare, and beyond.
Our clients stay because we show up as partners, not vendors. Explore our success stories to see what that looks like in practice.
Our Mission
We help organizations take back control of their technology by modernizing legacy systems, integrating fragmented platforms, migrating critical data, and engineering software and infrastructure they fully own. Through transparency and long-term partnerships, we build foundations that are open, interoperable, and built to evolve.
Our Beliefs
- •Work closely with clients — partnership beats handoffs.
- •Open source technologies lead to better, more sustainable systems.
- •Commitment and delivery matter more than estimates on a spreadsheet.
- •Iterative, incremental progress — evolution is natural.
- •Lean processes keep focus on outcomes, not bureaucracy.
- •People and teams are the foundation of great software.
Our Clients
Trusted by organizations across industries — from Fortune 500 companies to ambitious startups.

The Meaning of
In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything — calculated by a supercomputer over 7.5 million years.
Mate comes from the English word meaning "one of a matched pair." We chose 42mate because we believe the best work happens in true partnership — engineer and client, building something together.
