Alumni Q&A

What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?
Drawing on their time at Microsoft and Google and interviews with employees and engineers at companies including Appian, Uber, Pinecone, Brex, Coda, Microsoft, and Google, the founders identified two problems that worsen as companies grow: information and permissions are scattered across isolated SaaS tools, with workers spending over a quarter of their day searching for what they need, and engineering teams juggle many separate tools for documentation, development, release, and monitoring with no unified view. This fragmentation slows productivity, development, and incident management.

Summarized from the founders' answers on their Y Combinator profile.
