One year ago, James Honsa and I sat down at my dining room table and got to work. James had just wrapped up eight years at Ironclad, a month after I finished my eight years at Clari. We heard the line “we are standing on the precipice of the greatest value creation opportunity mankind has ever known” and couldn’t help but leap. Just as importantly, we were motivated to pay forward the growth that Andy Byrne, Jason Boehmig, and so many others had given us on our parallel journeys at Clari and Ironclad. This was the beginning of our chapter as cofounders, but James and I met 15 years ago as freshman classmates at Stanford. We connected through a shared love of the outdoors, and our early brainstorms took place while training for a trail running race and on backcountry ski trips. Turns out enjoyment of “type two” fun is a great trait to look for in a cofounder. Thank you James for a hell of a first year building together. Stay tuned for more on what we’ve quietly been working on with early customers… We are solving a problem that both of us lived on a daily basis in our last roles, and it has never been more important than it is right now!
