A LITTLE ABOUT US
We want people to live their best lives.
We believe people grow more when in teams.
We believe great teams are built on constructive feedback. At work. At home.
And so we’ve developed a beautiful online platform that uses
psychology + design + technology to make it easier and more enjoyable to
give and receive feedback, manage goals, manage check-ins and personal
development plans.
We have a laser-like focus on best-practice UX and best-practice
UI in order to turn a previously uncomfortable and confusing HR-led
process into a delightful and rewarding personal experience.
We’re growing rapidly with clients across Europe, the US and Asia
Pacific and an incredibly exciting pipeline of innovation ahead of us!
