Questions & Answers
What inspired you to start your business?
i'm a research nerd with an addiction to making impact. so you can imagine how irresistible mapping every human relationship was as the spark to start a company :)
What's the story behind your company?
ben and i went to this middle/high school called nueva where they'd have us do 'appreciation circles' every few months to express our gratitude for the individual around us. at 14, many of us didn't take it seriously, but 10 years later, we've realized those moments were potentially the most transformative. well, turns out ben and i are devoting the rest our lives to surfacing those same feelings of understanding, serendipitous connection, and awe for all of humanity... funny how your teachers always know best.
