Hello!

We are Matija, Elvin and Carlos, the Co-Founders of goetica.

We’re proud to have chosen to make goetica a Community Interest Company (CIC). A CIC is defined as a social enterprise and a movement of companies that are legally bound to give away most of their profits to the cause(s) they have identified, regulated by the government.

We cannot sell the company for profit and cannot distribute profits to ourselves.

Our detailed financial records will be published online, freely available to the public, meaning users can see exactly how much money is being made from referral fees, how much goes towards the running of the business, and how much goes to various animal charities.

We wholeheartedly believe in this transparent model for the future. Our mission is to do something that we are passionate about and share the profits with society at large.

65% of our profit must be donated to animal charities

We can never be sold for profit

Our finances are made public

Our assets are locked

How it all began

Following years of work in the high pressure corporate environments of London, founder Matija Agbaba took some time off to fulfill his dream and travel the world.

Countless new experiences, four continents and one year later, Matija realised that he had a newfound zeal to make a positive change in the world.

He combined his two passions, traveling and animals, and goetica.org was born.

Equality

We commit to equality within our organisation. Equal pay, equal rights and an equal opportunity to join our team.

We believe in life outside of work. That’s why we would like to operate a 4 day working week and encourage remote working whenever possible.
