About Vicinity
Vicinity was founded by four people who saw something that didn't sit right: businesses in the communities they called home were being left behind. They had spent years working in technology, and they kept running into the same problem. Companies in places like Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and tribal lands across the country were dealing with distant vendors who didn't understand their needs, couldn't respond quickly, and frankly, didn't seem to care much about what happened after the contract was signed.
So we decided to do something about it. Not by building another faceless corporation or chasing private equity dollars, but by staying right here in the communities we serve. Our teams live in these places. They shop at the same stores, their kids go to the same schools, and they understand what it means when a system goes down or a project falls behind. This isn't just business for us. It's personal.
We want to live in a world where proximity matters, where partnerships are built on trust and understanding, and where every organization has access to the support they need to thrive, regardless of where they call home.
Our Mission
Every organization deserves a technology partner who shows up, understands their world, and genuinely cares about their success. We're here to prove that where you're located shouldn't determine the quality of support you receive or the opportunities available to you.
Our Vision
A world where proximity matters, where partnerships are built on trust and understanding, and where every organization has access to the support they need to thrive, regardless of where they call home.
