Meet the product team
Say hello to the developers, designers and marketers working on the new approach to estimating software.
Customer-focused, with a default to action
The culture of our team is what enables us to build a truly industry-changing product.
This looks like a team of doers who default to action, and a systems-orientated company that always wants to improve. Working in two-week cycles (we ❤️ Linear) we continually address what our product needs, based on continual feedback loops with our customers.
We're mindful of how and when we break people out of focus, welcoming of new ideas - and we have a lot of good-humoured fun along the way.
