Founders:
The founding team (Hubert, Justin, and Ben) all come from top-tier tech companies — Reddit, Twitter, and Nextdoor — and have worked closely together before.
They’re deeply product-focused, emphasizing that success in their space will come from building great products rather than pure research or AI innovation.
Team:
Beyond the engineering team, they made early design and user research hires — even before raising their $6M seed round from Lightspeed — to reinforce their “product-first” philosophy.
The team structure is lean: 1 designer, 1 user researcher, 2–3 engineers (including founders), and 3 co-founders with strong product and technical leadership experience.
