How we work

Remote-flexible. Our main office is a Paris, France, but we are remote-flexible and have a global DNA. Our team members are in UK, France, Finland and Poland. We will hire the world's best talent across Europe and we can relocate new hires (including from the US). We meet quarterly for a global company meetup, and encourage everyone to come to the Paris office every month .

Ownership. We are experienced contributors and we take ownership. We thrive on documenting of decisions, accountability and individual goals. We value full transparency and empathy.

Weekly Release. We release an app version every Monday. We released 250+ App versions on the App Store, with a streak of 240 releases every consecutive Monday. We run multiple AB tests. We test features and ideas in production. Most ideas come from our community board, customer support, surveys and direct feedback.

Practical Impact. We believe technology should help people, rather than harm them. We are aligned with Humane Tech principles, but we are pragmatic. We build a product for everyday use and making it available to everyone. We track hours saved and so far, we saved over 50 Million hours of human time.

Funding

We raised $8M to date from the founders and early-stage investors who built generation-defining companies like Pinterest, Snapchat, Revolut, Front and more.
