We didn’t start out with an idea for a company.

We started with a conversation, one we’d been having for years.

About what’s broken in the way teams work. And what might be possible if we did it differently.

We looked for a way to make sense of the human system driving every team.

It wasn’t there. So we made it.

This is more than a business for us. It’s our life’s work.
