What are we looking to build with you?
A solution for complex software + hardware product development. It will provide engineers delivering critical products with AI-powered tools for managing 80% of the product development lifecycle, helping them build and deliver new products to the market faster. The first area to tackle is requirements management, the process of collecting, documenting, and validating requirements for the product being built. In many industries this is mission-critical.
Why did we leave well-paid jobs to build this company?
- Frustration: engineers developing the most amazing products have to work with poor solutions. It’s outdated software that was built decades ago for a world that doesn't exist any more. We believe we can build a 10X better product.
- Huge upside: systems engineering is often perceived as boring and complex, and it is. But that’s what makes this a great market opportunity. If it’s not complex it’s hard to differentiate oneself enough to capture sufficient market value. If it’s not boring then there is a ton of competition. Combine those two to get a huge underserved market. Hear our investor Charlie Songhurst talk about why boring and complex makes a great opportunity from 37:00:

- To work with the best: we believe that talent concentration, not team size, determines whether you achieve amazing results. We find it incredibly exciting to have the opportunity of working with amazing colleagues. If all else fails, we at least will have worked with and learned from each other.
