Life is too short for bad software. If that seems like a silly statement, it helps to remember that post-pandemic, the average knowledge worker probably spends more time in business software than actually interacting with colleagues.

This impact is magnified when the software is used to manage peoples work (and livelihood). Headcount management is currently done in spreadsheets, and a few mistakes can roll up into millions of dollars… or worse, layoffs.

The risk and uncertainty trickle down to every aspect of how a company operates. Execs can't make effective planning decisions. Managers can't understand the context for their team properly. And every employee — ever so slightly — feels more like a statistic.

We think this is — in big part — the fault of the systems. We think we can do way, way better.
