About Us

As The Third Bear Solutions, LLC, Jacqueline Arasi & Ethan Jucovy design, build, deploy, and maintain technical solutions for social benefit organizations and small businesses.

We've been doing software project management and open source engagement since 2004, small business website and application development since 2008, and ActionKit consulting since 2010.

Our business philosophy is encapsulated in our name – we aim for 'not too big, not too small' answers to our clients' goals, challenges and frustrations/woes.

We really listen, and we're not interested in slotting you into cookie-cutter solutions.

We have worked with large multinational NGOs and understand the challenges of multilingual support, regional compliance, and localization of actions.

We have worked with PACs and political campaigns to mobilize supporters, target decision makers, empower local teams, and run decentralized + distributed events. And we're experienced with C3/C4/PAC environments, multi-entity joint actions, and other regulated situations where it's very important to get things right.

We have built and maintained websites, landing pages, SEO, and acquisition funnels for both small businesses and social benefit organizations.

We believe that technology should support an institution's workflow, not the other way around. We've built low-cost, low-maintenance custom software ranging from a school's student enrollment, preference, and scheduling system to moderation dashboards for reviewing, editing, classifying, and annotating user-submitted content.

Jacqueline has a BA from Stanford University and a Business Analysis certification from SUNY Stony Brook. Ethan has a degree in Computer Science and Cognitive Science from Swarthmore College. We are grateful for the lessons learned while working at institutions like The Open Planning Project, Teach for America, Columbia University's Center for New Media Teaching and Learning, and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.
