About us
Our mission is to help software teams execute and make decisions faster, encourage healthy cross-functional collaboration, and grow as an organization without losing speed.
Design is in our DNA. Our Co-founder, Andrew Childs, studied art and design at RISD and has 20 years of experience crafting digital products. Our CEO, Kurt Schrader, has 20 years of experience as an engineering leader. We believe design details add up and ultimately determine if a product is delightful to use. We like experimenting, trusting our intuition, and creative problem-solving over following a rigid process. We believe diverse perspectives result in a more collaborative environment, and ultimately a better user experience.
