Software start-up from Cardiff, Wales
Awen Software builds SaaS products from Wales.
We are a founder-led start-up that designs, builds and runs its own software. Our products help families learn at home and help collectors keep the games they love.
Our aim
We want to build a Welsh software company whose products people pay for and keep using for years. We start with problems we know well and build one product to solve each of them properly.
-
Wales first
We build in Wales, for Wales first. Bucket Filler supports the Curriculum for Wales and works in Welsh or English.
-
Founder-led
A small team that does the work itself: design, engineering, content and support.
-
Built to last
Simple, testable software that keeps working, not software that needs constant fixing.
What does “Awen” mean?
Awen (pronounced ah-wen) is a Welsh word with no simple English translation. It means creative inspiration. The divine spark, the flowing spirit. In the Welsh bardic tradition, the Awen is the muse: the force that moves a poet, a musician, a storyteller to create something meaningful.
We chose this name because we believe the same force should be behind everything we build.
The three dots above our logo represent the three rays of Awen. A symbol used in Welsh culture since the 18th century to represent the balance of earth, sky, and sea, or truth, beauty, and love. We wear it with pride.
