Questions & Answers
What problem or opportunity inspired you to start your company, and how has your vision evolved since then?
While working on high caliber interdisciplinary teams, I saw how much time was spent on repetitive tasks designed to keep different stakeholders, often who spoke in different "languages" (experimental or theoretical science, software engineering, product, etc.) up to date with each other. This effort left little time for the actual creative work that pushed the business forward. I was inspired to start Panorama, where we reduce workplace noise by deploying personalized workplace automations in your taste. Since then I've discovered how many layers deep automating repetitive tasks can go, because creative and thoughtful people only want to do something for the first time once. Every time someone learns something new, they want to build in another layer of automations so they can move on to the next interesting thing. Panorama can enable people to get deeper than ever before, by handling all the pieces that aren't interesting anymore.
